Amazon.co.uk Review
Supergroups come and go. A few (A Perfect Circle, Broken Social Scene) remain in the public consciousness but most are quickly - and perhaps justifiably - forgotten (hi Tinted Windows). This eponymous debut from Them Crooked Vultures – a supergroup comprised of Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Nirvana/Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl – is set to land in the former category. But only just. From the low-slung Led Zep-esqe boogie of opener "Nobody Loves Me & Neither Do I" the record thrusts and grinds its way through a series of blues-dominated rock tunes. It’s the very stuff you’d expect in fact, given their respective backgrounds. Fuelled by Jones’ sleazy riffs and Homme’s distinctive, dominating vocals Them Crooked Vultures features the occasional quirky aside: Doors tributes (“First Breath You Take After You Give Up"), psychedelic stoner trips ("Interlude With Ludes"), even some growling funk (“Scumbag Blues”). But it’s the macho material like "Mind Eraser, No Chaser," "Gunman” and "Dead End Friends" that ultimately prove most invigorating. Like Dead Weather’s recent Horehound, this is a surprisingly fun and well-executed album that’s wholly enjoyable even if it’s not essential.--Danny McKenna
