Queens of the Stone Age, Songs for the Deaf

By Myke Atkinson

The Queens of the Stone Age are back with one of the most solid rock records to come out in the past decade. Songs for the Deaf is a soaring ride of ballsy riffs and poignant vocals that definitely bear the roots of this bands Kyuss upbringing. Dave Grohl’s contribution can be heard both in the drum beats that could easily set your heart to another beat, as well as in the more accessible nature of the heavy hitting tunes on the disc. If there was ever a band who studied the intricate details of how to construct a good song in the fashion of the Stones or Zeppelin, the Queens have done more than their share of homework.

Maybe rock isn’t so dead after all…
