Queens of the Stone Age "Songs for the Deaf" [2002]

This gang of obscure misfits consists of a corn-fed football moron with his guitar too loud singing lukewarm laments about girls too hot for him and his partner, a screeching maniac playing a bass so drop-tuned the strings routinely threaten to get caught in his ball sac. Oh, and there's also the Screaming Trees dude sitting around getting drunk, growling into a mic every now and then, and a bunch of phony-baloney "radio broadcasts," just in case you weren't already annoyed enough. How they ever got the Foo Fighters guy to play drums for them is a total mystery (supposedly drugs couldn't have been involved, as the drummer says he's always been clean [cough!]). In any case, this is an unholy mix, well illustrated by the pitchfork on the red cover. Be very afraid… if you hate sucky rock music.
