So I've been putting off talking about Them Crooked Vultures until some official MP3s were issued. I finally get internet at my apartment and voila: MP3s are on the web.
If you've been living under a rock for the past few months, Them Crooked Vultures are the rock 'n rolla super-group made up of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones. If you don't recognize those names then you probably shouldn't be reading this blog and we probably aren't friends anymore.
Even though the band just released some full tracks a few days ago, their songs have been wildly available for a while. Bootlegs were rampant on YouTube ever since their first live show, then some song snippets leaked out, followed by full songs posted on YouTube, until finally (today) the entire album was up for streaming on their YouTube page.
With the album officially dropping on Nov. 17th, it'll be interesting to read how the indie press reacts to the record. I'm sure publications like Spin or Rolling Stone will give it healthy reviews, but it's anyone's guess as to how all those hip New York journalists, who've given the band a slew of coverage thus far, will rate things.
Despite the three distinct musical influences at play, it's safe to say that the music leans most on the Queens of the Stone Age side of things. Not bad at all, I say; there's nothing wrong with straight up jams chock full of heavy riffs and everything I've heard delivers on that front. Plus, any reason to hear Grohl back behind the drums is a worthy cause to me.
Listen to the whole thing for free on YouTube by clicking here or download the tracks I'm hosting below. Either way, you win.
