They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7
Active compensatory factors: Them Crooked Vultures is a modern supergroup with Queens of the Stoneage's Josh Homme (vocals, guitar), Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and Nirvana/ Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl (drums). While it's clearly a democracy of three equals, Josh Homme's vocals and guitar riffs dominates proceedings and means it sounds like a Queens of the Stoneage album more than anything.

Therein lies the problem and the reason I didn't rush to buy a copy back in 2009. I like a lot of Songs for the Deaf (which has Grohl on it) but the hard rock of that band doesn't especially move me to collect more of their albums.
That said, the drum sound and the bass are both massive! The riffs are generally fine and the three jell well together throughout. There are no clear standouts though in the song department.
Where do they all belong? They all went back to their day jobs after this collaboration.
