Reviews

Great songs by some of our finest Rock dudes. Very enjoyable from beginning to end.

This sounds like really bad Bad Company. Unfortunately just before I listened to this I listened to the new Hayseed Dixie Album and that sounds leaps and bounds better than this disc. Perhaps John Paul Jones should listen to the Hayseed Dixie's version of Whole Lotta Love.

I don't know why more reviewers haven't made what seems to me an obvious connection between TCV and Cream. Besides the fact that both bands are power-trios, this seems to me totally a Cream album for today. Like Cream of yore, it's imperfect and sometimes anti-melodic except, in Cream's case, when the band followed traditional blues patterns that allowed for a bit of groove (Strange Brew, Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses). Cream often challenged listeners by using time shifts and cryptic lyrics, and TCV certainly does the same. I can't call TCV's debut a perfect or great album, but its real interesting and, damn! these guys can play. My tastes run more to music that swings, and if TCV ever did a version of Politician or SWALBR I think the world's energy crisis would be solved. But till then, this album offers technical mastery, interesting and intricate power arrangements, and just a really agreeable roar than I'm thoroughly digging.

Them Crooked Vultures is an interesting CD from an old-timer and a couple a guys that can't wait to get there. I don't have much to add other than I really enjoy this CD and it pleases me to hear all the little this and thats that these guys borrow. There are obvious ZEP overtones on many of these songs and that makes me proud just that John Paul Jones throws a little sound out there that might startle song younger folks into realizing that Zeppelin was more than Page and Plant... How nice it is to hear some rock that is blues based, kind of trippy in a 60's vibe and that does not lean too far towards modern metal tones. Rock on fella's.

This album is sick. I heard the song "New Fang" on the radio and i knew i had to check out this album. TOTALLY SICK! If you dig Queens of the Stone Age, then you will love this album! I know I did.
