no offense, but to call them crooked vultures “grohl’s project” is almost insulting musicians like homme and especially john paul jones. and i’m sure grohl himself would agree.

Who the hell is this JPJ? How old are you people? ;-)

Calling Feeder a “band” is horribly insulting to proper bands that write decent music, too.

I think its sold out Chris…

@ Fiona - someone i know is is doing the gig, so no ticket required!!! Just need to see what else i’ve got on that week :)

Am I the only one who thinks this is terrible? Release this same CD with 3 unknown musicians and no one would give a shit!

Appreciate I might be a lone dissenter…

I find it quite QOTSA in sound a bit more pycadelic and John Paul Jones’s influence stand out a lot and as those elements appeal to me I think its great, the production is a bit strange and the album as a whole does take more listens for it to settle in but I’m loving it more with every listen as it has so much going on. Guess as i had no expectations then i’m not disappointed. :)

I don’t think the album or the band are as good or have this amazingly new sound that the hype makes out or that people expect. But i still really like what they do, there are some really cool songs and it does have a lot of different things going on and styles on show which makes it interesting. I also don’t think its a perfect album the down side is that its too long and Interlude with ludes and possible the last song spinning in daffodils could be lost from the album completly and i wouldn’t miss them and general trimming of the excess fat on each of the songs would make it flow better. Josh Hommes lyrics are pretty bad on most of the tracks, i loved his stuff on the first three Queens albums but there is some cringworthy stuff on TCV, that aside i have been playing it none stop since buying it and will probably still be high up on the albums i have liked this year.

I really like the album. What can possible go wrong when the rhytmsection is Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones? Absolutely nothing!

Even though there is a few fillers, the album in whole is good. Reminds me from QOTSA’s Songs For The Deaf, but much more Led Zeppelin style riffing. I didn’t think that Josh Homme was a great guitarist until this album. His guitar playing is good on the songs. Can wait to see them live at Berlin next month. :o)

Listened to their stream of the album, wasn’t exactly blown away. It’s ok, but it’s not exactly changed my life. I think you can never really get away from the distinctiveness of Josh Homme’s guitar sound, which makes everything he plays on sound like QOTSA imho.

Here lies my problem: Homme is so distinctive as QOTSA, that anything he does extra curricular sounds like a poor mans version of his main gig. Bit like Jack White, should stick to what he’s best at.
