Reviews for this Album

I just wanted to say, "Thank you Dave for the brilliant idea!" Best technical album in decades. The entire album is so complete. No wonder you had a hard time picking the songs. I can't wait to hear the other tracks that were left off the album. I will buy the second album immediately, and look forward to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. You are correct to say, "We have not even scratched the surface of this band."

2009- I moved back to Nashville and picked up the local rag to find out what bands were playing the Nashville scene. I saw TCV were playing. I said to myself, "Who the f**k is TCV?" and dismissed the show completely. I am still kicking myself in the a** for missing that show. I look forward to the second go around and will not miss it.

Please restock the swag for the US market!

Finally, I had to stop listening to TCV as my morning alarm clock play list because I kept sleeping through the entire album. The music is so soothing that I just want to keep listening. I had to go back to Elton John because I know that I will get up and shut that off. LOL!

Keep up the great work! Thank you JPJ, Josh, Dave, Alain, Alan, Justin, Chris, Brian, and Mike. Best album in decades!
Sincerely,
NDH

You guys are singlehandedly keeping badass, thematically rich, complex, and hard-driving rock alive. Thank you.

For the sake of mankind, please, DON'T STOP JAMING.

Wow absolutely amazing...Wonderful bass....Its amazing how somebody could produce such extraordinary music....

Houston Plastic Surgeon

I <3 you!

Amazing as hell, great drums, incredible bass, amazing guitar and vocals, clever lyrics, not to mention the undeniable cool factor these guys have, cant wait for a second album.

Real rock played by real rock stars. Forget about what Mtv told you was cool this week and go buy this album. Thanks for the combined decades of wonderful music guys. I cant imagine a world without Zeppelin, Foo, QOTSA, or TCV. once again, THANK YOU and come to Detroit or Chicago soon.

finally norway i can,t wait for tcv to play at hove its gone be f***ing amazing

This album is INSANE!!!! Seriously, my ears very nearly s*** themselves out of excitement... even my one year old kid is digging it! TCV need to come down to Australia soon.... we love you guys down here!

I forgot to say how I began to hear rock music. Firstly, my father played bass in a band and so is my neighbor bassist in a band called Mnemic in knows maybe it is not as well known as you. one day, my mom bought foo fighters echo, silence, patience and grace. I was crazy about it and began to buy more boards in particular greatest hits. some time after the fotalte of nirvana as Dave Grohl played drums in. some time after I saw that in the game to a festival called roskilde festival which took place in Denmark and first I thought it was foo fighters when I saw Dave Grohl but then I saw also you others and so I sought at you lays on youtube appeared in were good and then bought your album and it turned out that the game was good. affectionate greeting Thor from Denmark.

hi my name is Thor and I'm from a small country called Denmark in the north eropa I know you most of Dave Grohl from the foo fighters / nirvana. I'm only ten years and goes into the third class I is the only one from my class who has long hair and hear your music. i is the best I've ever heard. affectionate greeting Thor from Denmark. ps I sit and hear your music while I write it here

IF YOU KEEP TOURING YOU CANT MISS BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA, THE CITY OF ROCK

Oh God Damn it! Something new for me to worship, you guys! I know Videos are expensive to make but, please make one for Bandoliers. I imagine a cheap stick figure cartoony world like that which we used to scribble of stick figure army guys shooting Godzilla off the top of a building. Except this time Godzilla lives in the woods and is a peaceful veggy eater. Then the nearby city's politicians need something for the people to rally about, so they blame all of lifes problems of Godzy. So they "Aim and Fire" take her out. Which leads up to all the baby Godzy's and the forest creatures to act revenge on the city folk. F ing them up to the point where are no more shells or bullets to fire, (quick silence in the song) as to when the head politician says "fire at will" now firing live volentiers at the Godzy's loosing the battle sorrily.

Wow glad to get all that out of my head and out onto the world. Either way love the music and please keep it coming and COME TO DC (Dave Grohl) and do a show, maybe the Black Cat, haha.

What an amazing s***f***! Please come to Arkansas or a bordering state. I'm out of f***ing gas money....

I absolutely love the spirit of TCV's songs. I bought the album, and I love it. TCV is on up there with Metallica Smile.
TCV is number 2 on the list, I love 'em.

please come to mexico I continue with cravings, I was all his songs his whole album I love to live are a rock muntruos I send a greeting josh are the best band in the world are great come to mexico mexico mexico mexico

I would like to start out by saying HOLY s***!!!!!!! Thank you.

This album is crazy insane, wicked awesome. I am itching in my chair waiting for news on another album.

Being a musician for a while myself, I often questioned if there could be a new sound in rock that I had never heard. Them Crooked Vultures make that sound. It has everything to do with these three gentlemen getting together , but also being themselves as individuals and musicians. Let's enjoy it while it lasts! Thanks guys!

Elephants

Absoloutly immense, i love josh hommes intro, i like the lyrics, who wrote those, anywho, how come i see no advertising, you guys should get the word out, i love the music though i await the next traks

Dave Grohl takes his Foo Fighters laden guitar off and puts the Nirvana drum sticks back in hand to put together an awesome super group trio consisting not only the main driver for QOTSA, but also the main rhythm for Led Zeppelin. The album opens up with “No One Loves Me And Neither Do I” which delivers a magnificent PUNCH in the middle of the song and takes the listener by surprise. “Scumbag Blues” and “Warsaw Or The First Breath You Take After You Give Up” sounds like Cream on steroids (except for that strange Oysterhead-like psychedelic change during the last half of “Warsaw…”). “Caligulove“ sounds like it could be the B-Side to Iron Butterfly‘s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.” “Dead End Friends“ sounds like something Robert Plant could have either sung or covered. “Elephants“ starts off with a guitar lick that sounds like something from Led Zeppelin‘s Houses Of The Holy album and has a change in the song that is similar to the change in Led Zeppelin‘s “Kashmir” where Robert Plant starts to sing “..All I see turns to Brown…” “Bandoilers“ has some 60‘s classic rock influences and a diligent resemblance in the vocal mumblings that could be very well Kurt Cobained and a change in the song that sounds like the drumming from Led Zeppelin‘s “Achilles’ Last Stand.” “Reptiles“ sounds like an Oysterhead song…’nuff said. “Gunman” is the only track that stands out as being the most Gothic; sounding like a cross between The Horrors and David Bowie on steroids. “Interlude With Ludes” sounds the way it’s titled with it’s slow-drunken-out-of-beat-sway. Overall, the rest of the album has QOTSA written all over it with some strange eeriness in the changes of the songs and some of it’s atmosphere harking resemblances to Led Zeppelin albums post per se Led Zeppelin IV through Presence (esp. the eerie organ on “Caligulove“).

I was excited at the prospect of the group making an awesome album, I was even more excited when I heard it. Utter Brilliance.
I was lucky enough to see them at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh in Dec09 and now looking forward to flying out to see them in Las Vegas.
I hope they make another album and continue this project as the music is the best I have heard.
Warsaw and Daffodils are simply brilliant........Get it.

It's pretty funny looking at my itunes song play count, and low and behold, Them Crooked Vultures are at like 60 plays vs my average 10-15plays for other artists, who i might add i've had for years! but i do have many. still funny. TCV ROCK!

Absolutely love the album!
I love the old time feel it has and the amazing performing and writting involved.
Sure, the fact that this band is made up of 3 of the biggest music heavyweights is enough to get your attention, the brilliance of the songs is what will keep you hooked!

This album/band is the very definition of NEW FANGS lol!!

probably one of the greatest albums i've ever purchased. keep up the amazing work. i look forward to the next album! i just about came when i heard you were coming to denver...i already bought my ticket! see you at the end of april!!!

Great music guys, been waiting for this ''new'' style a long time now...
can't wait to see you in Montréal in may.....

By the way, I usually download music illegally, but I decided to buy your album.

Keep up the f***ing badass work.

Please make more music.

I'm tired of this Lady Gaga/Lil Wayne s*** I hear 24/7.

THE BEST Album that has come out in Years by THE BEST Band that has come out in Years.Me and my 16 year old son were Lucky enough to see TCV at the Fillmore in Charlotte on 2/10/10 on the the Front row and i knew it was going to be good but i was totally Blowed away by the Special Night that occured.From the Excellent Sound through Playing every song off the album Plus Highway One and Josh catching a buzz and staying in the Zone was Flawless and just made Interlude With Ludes a Magical experience.I must give Alain a Standing Ovation on his Huge Role he plays as he was Flawless also on Guitar,Slide,Bass & Keys.Thank You John Paul,Josh,Dave & Alain for the BEST Show i have seen in many years if not THE BEST.Can't wait till the next Album and Show.

Pure s*x!

this is just great, long time waiting for soemting good, you rock on guys!!

Greetings from El Salvador, you should do a tour around this places lol

Been waiting for some real rock for years now. The waits over. Watched Austin City Limits w/ TCV and I'm hooked. Who needs Robert Plant. John Paul Jones has the group he's been craving. Josh is awsome @ guitar and vocals. Dave... Just makes the band really rock. Can't wait for a tour.

I was bumping around Best Buy's website and basically found this CD by accident. I took a listen and thought, a new QOTSA album? No - but this is just as great or better! I'm 48 years old and can finally say that it's nice to hear some real quality rock music again. What a great blend of talent from three legends of rock. I just finished my first listen at home and will pop this in my truck's player and probably won't take it out for a month. Thanks guys for producing an album with no fillers - each song kicks ass.

f***EN SICK!! YOU CAN HEAR ALL THEIR SOUNDS IN ONE! YOU KNOW JPJ WANTS TO JAM WITH HIS OL BAND. GOT DAMN I LOVE DAVID GROHL!! I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF ALL THREE FOR YEARS ESPECIALLY GROHL!! LOVE YA MAN!! COME TO FRESNO, CA!!

Fantastic, finally real heavy rock music! After watching the grammy awards,that made me SICK,I have a little bit of hope for the future of rock music. Don in Arkansas

Great album, it's tough for a band to come up with something that sounds new these days. This music is fresh. Love the sound. Also, John Paul Jones was the bassist for Zeppelin.

I have been a massive Dave Grohl fan for about two years now which was when i first started listening to foo fighters at that point i didnt even know his history with Nirvana but iv learnd up on him and he has to be my greatest rock idol. And JOHN PAUL JONES! really! im origionaly a bassest and to have the bassest from the ROLLING STONES! is the greatest thing ever as long as they continue to allow him to be heard which so many bands fail to do. i nere got huge ino qotsa but id hear a bit and liked it alot and from this new album i can hear the grunge of Nirvanna the classic awsome rock of the Rolling Stones all with this sort of modern sound given by Josh at the mic has to be one of the best sounds iv ever heard from a band! and this gives me an excusse to get my rolling stones fan of a dad to listen to some Dave Grohl! this is amazing and its sad i only discoverd it earlyer tonight.
Defenitly 5/5 only thing better is if they got Paul McCartny (who by the way dave has played with at the grammys in 09)

My 2 fav bands of all time...Zep and Masters of Reality finally come together. At least that what is sounds like to 2 me. Heavy.

Totally f***ing awesome.....

Nuff Said

yes i cannot wait to hear a new album.
i would be ever so grateful if you came back to wellington, if you dont i shall try my hardest to get overseas just to see you guys.

the songs are similar but different at the same time, there is a sort of distinct TCV sound, its a heavy sound, very strong i would say, rebellious even. and it works so well! the only other band it could be closely compared with is QOTSA, but its distinctly different. other than that, its very fresh, a breath of fresh air from todays mainstream music, definitely.

***** 5 stars guys

I love this album, and I'm very much looking forward to the next. I'd kill to see you guys live but I'm out in the middle of nowhere. Haha but i listen to this album all the time. Never gets old

I listen to it everyday, up to 14 hours a day. It's amazing and now I can't stop to listen - like I'm addicted or something. It's really great! Thank you! And we are really waiting for you in Europe.

Album took a while for me to really appreciate... Saw the guys live in Wellington New Zealand, really gave a better appreciation of it all watching how they interact and feed off each other. I suggest going to any live show you can make to really appreciate the album and music and the musicianship behind it all. Cant wait for another album, come back to Wellington please guys!!!
