I defy you not to like this album !
Alright, not everybody will Techno, hip hop, rappers would probably dismiss it, but for the rest of you Im pretty sure you couldnt say a bad word against it.
I would describe it as a blended whisky, there's not the feel of a fruity, full on character single malt, just a very drinkable blend. Whats it sound like: well its got a foot in several camps, you can hear early Bowie, The Doors, The Stones, early Pink Floyd, Lynyrd skynrd, Bad Company, Stone Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam but all mixed perfectly. Couple that with Mark Lanegans vocals (Lanegan sang on QOTSA's Songs for the deaf.) and it really doesnt get much better.
This isnt one of those difficult to listen too albums, its sort of effortless, like the first time you heard Bat out Of Hell (Warning !! it definitely doesnt sound like Meat Loaf). You nod your head and tap your feet and *** all ten tracks are over and your reaching for the play button.
Mixed by Andy Wallace (he of the Jeff Buckley - Grace album , Nirvana's - Nevermind, The Foo Fighters, Sheryl Crow) so you know your going to get a polished sound with big......no, I mean huge, huge drums.
There doesnt seem to be an ounce of fat on the album, it doesnt kick over new ground, but theres little doubt you could let you friends listen to it and I would doubt they would want you to switch it off.
Massive hand claps from me. I'll have another double Lanagan please
I'll order it and if I don't like it I want my money back 
Thanks for reminding me, I'll e-mail them tonight.
