    I don't understand the hype. I have listened to the album, I have tried to like it....but it is just another mediocre album released by a mediocre band.

    3/10 because the only good songs on "Songs For the Deaf" are "Mosquito Song (Hidden Track)," "No One Knows," and maybe the opening track, but other than that, this is way too repetitive and impossible to listen to from start to finish. If you like heavy music with some variety and depth, then listen to Tool's "Lateralus" or System of a Down's "Mezmerize."

    Highly overrated album. The only decent tracks are Hangin Tree & No one knows. The majority of it is just noise..and the vocalist isn't good at all.

    My god, does this album SUCK. Pathetic overdriven structures mixed with a diagonal lack of inspiration. This is worse than Phil Collins. Worse than anything I have ever heard in my life. People who think this is great music should be executed.

    I certainly appreciate Josh Homme and his vision for rock and roll, but as a whole, I cannot recommend this album. It starts out relatively strong, but takes a dive in the second half. Download "No One Knows" and "Go with the Flow" and leave the rest of the album alone.

    'The Sky Is Fallin' is a beast.... 'God Is In The Radio' has got just such an awesome riff, like the Lord himself hotwired to a Marshall amp.

    While cliches abound... this huge music is delivered with panache. [#9, p.154]

    'Songs For The Deaf' is a triumph, a record forged with fire and sweat in the pits of Valhalla... It is the very essence of Rock.
