To be more specific, Them Crooked Vultures are:
-Josh Homme
-Dave Grohl
-John Paul Jones.
Definitely more Homme than Grohl, Grohl than Jones, but it's an awesome album overall. It's got a jammy-feel to it; I agree with the AV Club, it sounds a lot more like the Dessert Sessions albums...probably because this, too, is a group of musicians having fun and rocking out.
The moment I heard Mind Chaser and New Fang I knew I was in for a treat, so much better than this summer's attempt at a rock and roll supergroup, I am looking at you Dead Weather.
*Pumes walks to his computer to listen to that new hip, totally dope band Them Crooked Vultures. He looks at the song list and chooses 'Reptiles'*

Then he will... [/STRIKE]
I can see where they're coming from, though. I just don't really have a fine-tuned ear for production aesthetic alongside what I enjoy (and like, the lyrical stuff).
Anyways, you can't always do what's right...but you can always do what's left :3
i like all the bands these guys came from. someone said that they are largely influenced by zeppelin? i like zeppelin.
i cant stand vultures. for some reason, all those musical influences come together to form something which, to me, is just... bland. i can't really stand any of their songs, even though i desperately want to support a grohl/homme/jones supergroup.
uhh...well a good majority of rock n roll post-Zep is influenced by Zep. Queens is a good example. Now you take Queens and you add a member of Zep, and yeah, it's largely influenced by Led Zeppelin.
That sucks that you think its bland, though. It's like my friend who loves Queens, Kyuss and Vultures...but can't stand Eagles of Death Metal.
