Still trying to break the back of Them Crooked Vultures. Most of Josh Homme's stuff is like that though.
The first few tracks of the album are great though (including the above), but the rest of the album is very hard work. There are some fantastic little riffs here and there and some pieces of brilliance, but the songs generally are very technical, dirgy and just tough to listen to. Most albums yo uneed three or four listens to to get into and to pick out the highlights. Them Crooked Vultures I'm on about 15 or 20 times through and I still struggle to make it much past track 8 or 9.
