    Disappointment of the year. On paper, this should have been a brilliant record. A combination of great musicians of different styles. But the songs are forgettable with a filler vibe to them. This would not be an issue if the album weren't so short. There's not a lot to pick here.

    This album is pure fun. Sometimes it harkens back to Beatles-on-LSD absurdity, but it also brings back eastern instrumentals reminiscent of Soundgarden's Half, and it also throws in a couple of wonderful tracks that could easily have been on QOTSA's Like Clockwork. It's a pleasure to listen to and a welcome pallette cleanser after hearing the rest of what's being offered today.

    The sound of a collaboration remains a refreshing and wonderful thing. In fact, perhaps the best way to describe the material included on Vols. 11 & 12 would be to borrow the title of a long-running magazine devoted to Led Zeppelin: “tight but loose.”

    In short, it’s a bit of a misfire.

    The latest iteration of Homme’s continuous project has come a long way since the epic jams of the late 90s, having evolved into more refined, and fully realised series of releases, never failing to inhabit the spirit of risk and adventure.
