news that the self-titled debut of Them Crooked
Vultures was leaked online, the official Them

Here's a look at the latest viral from Them Crooked Vultures followed by the
official Crooked specs on the new Vultures:
"One the rarest things in rock: a supergroup
that not only deserves that appellation, but
which actually is greater than the sum of its
storied parts... Simply put, Jones has enhanced
any musical setting he's ever graced with his
classy and virtuosic presence."--Jim DeRogatis,
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Melody isn't the core strength of this band
anyway. That would be rhythm, which in the hands
of Mr. Grohl becomes a thunderous force."--Nate
Chinen, NEW YORK TIMES
"Unfortunately, it hasn't translated nearly
as well now that the much-buzzed all-star trio,
which expands to a quartet in concert, has finally
released its debut album, and much of the blame
must rest on the third leg of this glitzy tripod,
Queens of the Stone Age bandleader Josh Homme."--Jim
