THEM CROOKED VULTURES: THEM CROOKED VULTURES (REVIEW)

John Paul Jones leads Them Crooked Vultures

Friday November 20,2009

By Robert Spellman

EX-LED Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones joins two men that idolised him as teenagers - ex-Nirvana and Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl and Queens Of the Stone Age guitarist and vocalist Joshua Homme - for some filthy hard rock fun on Them Crooked Vultures.

The interaction of Jones and Grohl produces some sledgehammer dynamics shouldn't be missed, but Homme's singing has that irritating grunge-meets-metal tone and generally the songs don't stick.

The fabulously lysergic Caligulove and Interlude With Ludes and might point to the trio's true vocation.

(RCA)

VERDICT: 3/5
