Listen on posterous
Before I start talking about the album or the band, I have to start off by saying that I have a predisposed bias toward these guys. I've been listening to Dave Grohl's drums since Nirvana so I'm pretty sure that will play a big role in the whole review. I also have heard Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, which of course is a bit different of a sound.
So on with it, Them Crooked Vultures aren't my typical music choice. Hitting towards the hard rock and heavy metal sounds, they don't exactly remind me of any other bands besides Three Days Grace with a softer toned vocalist. Of course, I like the instruments a lot on the album.
This self-titled is the only album from the band so I can't really compare it to their band's own music but they do have a lot of other easily comparable bands. Two being Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, which of course have their own uniqueness. There is no consistency in Dave Grohl's approach to music and in my opinion, that's my favorite thing about him. From drumming to singing, from Nirvana to Foo Fighters, there's always that Grohl stuck somewhere in his music, even in Them Crooked Vultures, all the songs some how bring him out more than the others.
I don't have a problem with his performance at all, I love his energy and how he mixes it up with different bands. Now for the rest of the band, the trio puts together a really well performance. The dozen+ songs are a hell-of-a-listen dozen+ songs! The song included is the first one on the album and it starts up for the rest to sound somewhat of the same taste. Let me know what you think of it if you're checking it out!
