Holy shit, folks! We ain't but just got graced with a masterpiece. Queens of the Stone Age are the greatest rock band in the universe. Don't try and tell me some shit from outer space would be more cutting edge; we all know thats's not true.

Songs for the Deaf kicks serious ass. There's no weak point to the album. I hope CDs are strong enough to be played as much as this album should be played worldwide forever more.

It's hard to pick any one track as being better than any other, but, First it Giveth is a fine tune. And just try to hang on for the Song of the Dead. This album is the best music the public's been given in many years. Josh Homme's vocals keep killing and Dave Grohl's drumming makes you wish you were getting pounded by the sticks. Mark Lanegan's voice makes you glad you haven't lived through what he has and Nick Oliveri will just flat out freak the shit out of you as usual. Heavenly.

There's two old songs (one from Desert Sessions 5/6 and one from Desert Sessions 7/8). Millionare is still a kick ass track, but check out the DS 5/6 version with Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson; check these guys out) on vocals.

This album should serve as a wake-up call to all other musicians who release their stuff to get with the program and stop embarassing themselves. All bands should from now on only be permitted to cover Queens of the Stone Age material.

Long live QOTSA.

Anyone who disagrees with any of this is a damned fool, and I, if not someone else, will eventually kick your ass.
