MUSIC:

Queens Of The Stone Age: Songs For The Deaf

Official Artist Site

This is the debut for the trio of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Jesse Hughes and Timmy VanHamel, who, in case you were wondering, sound like neither The Eagles nor death metal.

LABEL:	Ant Acid Audio
RELEASE DATE:	23 March 2004
DISCS:	1 disc
GENRE(S):	Rock

All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...

Entertainment Weekly

Hughes' titillating vocal performance makes these Eagles soar. [26 Mar 2004, p.73]

Stylus Magazine

Canned Heat mixed with Kiss and chopped into lines with Elvis and Queens Of The Stone Age.

Blender

Eagles of Death Metal aren't air-quote ironic like the Darkness; they're a passionately played goof for Homme. [May 2004, p.120]

Austin Chronicle

Opener "I Only Want You" busts the QOTSA model with a little funk and jive. The rest of the album follows suit: a Queens backbone and Seventies rib.

Pitchfork

Peace Love Death Metal is at its best when the inside joke is buried deep in the music, but whenever the deathtongue is planted squarely in the deathcheek, the songs turn not just silly, but lumbering and self-indulgent, overburdened by the overriding concept.

Q Magazine

Splendidly queasy listening. [May 2004, p.100]

Trouser Press

Like all great garage rock, it all sounds the same, but that doesn’t matter.

Mojo

A swaggering, intoxicating tight-but-loose debut. [Jun 2004, p.107]

Uncut

Often shambolic and in-jokey, it's also sensationally good fun. [May 2004, p.93]

Rolling Stone

If there's a problem, it's that the fifteen songs tend to blur together after nearly forty-five minutes.

Alternative Press

So authentic, you'll think songs like "Bad Dream Mama" were put to tape 25 years ago. [Jun 2004, p.108]

Village Voice

The two-man, woogie-filled boogie team is fine for 30 minutes.

Filter

The worst record [Homme's] name has ever graced. [#10, p.89]

David O gave it a10:
I defy anyone to listen to this record and be able to sit still. It just makes you wanna get up and move.

C K gave it a10:
Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme take everything that's wrong with rock music and fix it. Why on earth would anyone want to go to a concert and be surrounded by nothing but dudes? Eagles of Death Metal brings the ladies back into rock-n-roll, which can only be a good thing. To top it all off, Hughes is the caliber of rock star that only comes around once ever 10 years. Best album of 2005. Period.

Dave H gave it a9:
You'd be hard pressed to find a more fun and accessible album. It requires no thought or effort....it simply does what it sets out to do--confuse, disorient, and occasionally make you dance.

Mikey C gave it a9:
The greatest "dance rock" album. It gives me wiggles and makes my rump shake.

miah t gave it a10:
listen to the whole damn thing. 0ver and over and over; then stop. then do it over and over and over.then listen to dessert sessions then queens then mondo generator then masers of reality then eagles of death metal . do it i swear at the end of that session you will be rich.

jen s gave it a 10:
