I've been waiting for something refreshing to come along in the music world, & Them Crooked Vultures, along with The Dead Weather, have done just that. If this group decided to leave their repective bands(Foo Fighters & Queens Of The Stone Age), they could/would go down in history as one of the best bands ever. I seriously think that would happen. All the elements are there(talent/songs/musicianship/great live unit) to achieve the forementioned. This album/cd grows on you. It gets better & better with every listen!
