Why did people think this was going to be an equal dispersal of sounds from the 3 men? First off Homme's sound is the QOTSA sound, him being TCV's lead man means that the most obvious sound will be the QOTSA sound.
Grohl's drumming doesn't carry over into the Foo Fighters sound, so that was never going to be an aspect of the band, just Grohl's drumming. Which we should all know at least a bit of. Note that Nirvana drumming is not Grohl drumming, that is old era easy music drumming, made easy on purpose.
Finally JPJ does not embody the Zeppelin sound, never has never will. He was the bass aspect for sure, and possibly other things being a multi-instrumentalist. The point being his role on TCV largely being bass means that will be where his sound will be found.
If you pay attention you'll notice the bass in unlike any other Homme project. It is bluesier among other things. Similarly the drumming is similar to Songs for the Deaf, however not as abrasive among other things.
The cd is exactly what I expected and I enjoy it quite a lot, I enjoy Homme's sound, Grohl's drumming is superb as always and JPJ really knows how to lay a great bass line. |
