    There's absolutely nothing new or interesting here. Although this supergroup is certainly talented, they aren't able or willing to get out of their comfort zone and produce anything memorable.

    It’s an oddball groove-rock album, played very well, imprinted with Homme's undeniably interesting personality. Yet when all’s said and done, it's not particularly memorable and entirely lacks the type of yee-haw exuberance that might have made it a sloppy treat.

    This stomping, panting, sweaty monster is a great listen.

    Homme and Grohl are old hands at this kind of thing--see their excellent Zeppelin homages on the Queens' "Songs for the Deaf." But they definitely seem inspired by Jonesy's presence, and he helps them keep it light.
