Haughty and Superior
I'm vaguely interested, but for that ticket money, I can see 3 bands I know I'm gonna like, rather than risk another Homme ego-massage.
I'll pass, I think.

First listen to the album.
I reckon it's the best thing Josh Homme's been involved with since 'Songs For The Deaf'. Having said that, don't expect it to be as good as that. Or 'Rated R', not by a long stretch. Probably about as good as QOTSA's debut album. That's a fuck of an improvement on 'Era Vulgaris' and the other boring one, mind.
I think it'll grow on me. I'd like to see them live.

Yeah, I thought I heard a bit of Bowie in there, too.
It's quite surprising this record - it's not what I'd expect these three to come up with. It could do with a full on Dave Grohl 'A Song For The Dead' drumming moment - I think that's what I was expecting more than anything else.
But I like what John Paul Jones thrtows in - 'Gunman' has that Led Zep boogie stomp thing all over it. Like 'Misty Mountain Hop' or 'Trampled Underfoot' or something. And it's fucking psychedelic in places, too. Really like that.
Lots of people are going to fucking hate it, I think.
I'm intrigued. Haven't listened to anything else since I got it anyhow.

I am what you are
Had it for a couple of days. First listen didn't go down to well but a mate told me to give it another go. Gotta say it gets better each time, personal faves (atm ) are Bandoliers and Dead End Friends. But i've also noticed that the better tracks are, imo, towards the end of the album. And I'm not, as Alex Petridis says, a hero-worshipper for liking this album. There are layers to the production, like the use of reverb it the early tracks had me thinking that something was wrong with my copy 
but it was me who was wrong. Been the only thing on the playlist as well.

So many particulars. So many questions.
this crap is like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and not when they were good either.
The Groke

How much cider have you drunk?
Like it or no, it is nothing like the Chilli Peppers.

Well I suppose there are some blokes in the band. They use instruments and stuff. Sing a bit.
So yeah, in that respect they are exactly the same as the Chilli Peppers.

no, you are quite right. There is no edge of funk metal to them, more like the leaden rock-by-numbers of that other supergroup that formed up and bashed out a sub zepplin impression. I can't even remember what they were called

Well quite. Despite the fact I disagree, that is a flame which makes far more sense.

Audioslave.
And TCV are about a thousand times better than them thank-you-very-much.
