MEH[T] CROOKED VULTURES

 Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at 11:30am by

MS reader AcidBeagle sent us the below YouTube embed of a brand new Them Crooked Vultures track called “Mind Eraser.” It’s pretty good (pretty, pretty, pretty good!), but that’s about as far as I’m going to go with it.

While the prospect of a Grohl/Homme/JPJ union was indeed tantalizing in theory, the partnership has turned out to be pretty “meh” in practice. It’s perfectly fine boogie/blues/whatever rock music, but would anyone ultimately give a shit if not for the star-studded cast of characters involved? Methinksnot, but you be judge.

    maybe it’s just me, but parts of this bear a DANGEROUS SIMILARITY TO CERTAIN QOTSA MATERIAL.

    Yea, been very disappointed with both tracks i’ve heard from this. Agree, if it wasn’t Homme/Grohl/JPJ no one would care…

    This song is killer, New Fang isn’t THAT great, but this one is excellent.

    Then again I just have a huge BROner for anything Grohl and Homme do… so that may be a biased opinion.

    I’ve been a big Homme fan for a long time but, yeah, meh.

  • Cornrow Wallace

    They should release an instrumental version of this record because I love the music but the vocals, especially the Dave Grohl, is killing it.

    That was great. I love the horn outro. This album sounds like it’s going to kick ass, in spite of what you guys think.

    Downloaded it yesterday and it grooves the shit out of me. I’d give a large fuck about it even if you played it for me then told me it was something made by members of iwrestledabearonce.
