Let's Dance

Them Crooked Vultures - S/T
10 / 10

This is a classic rock album crafted by composition that makes sense conversationally as organic tales of the universe with counterpoint and open space so notes can linger and breath. Sensual slides and bends frame songs with texture, giving this album an abundance of "feel" with endless groove and rhythm inspiring dance. While QOTSA's Skin on Skin is a soundtrack for sex, this whole album provokes and accompanies desirous passion.

Connected to the great rock of the 70s but with the harder punk sensibilities of Dave Grohl driving on drums, this release shows the way to revive a genre that has been either sleeping or dead for decades.
