Despite the advent of the '00s, thoroughly blunted longhairs wearing three-quarter-length T-shirts still boot around the suburbs in painted vans listening to roaring metal. Fittingly, a whole new crop of post-Dazed and Confused-era stoner rockers--Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, and arguably the kings of them all, Queens of the Stone Age--provide a shredding contemporary score for righteous three-finger devil salutes. On Songs for the Deaf, core members bassist Nick Oliveri and singer-guitarist Josh Homme (also see Kyuss) balance pure guitar-induced carnage with more complex, though no less aggressive, speed rock that whips by so fast it creates its own breeze. Opening with the 90-second "The Real Song for the Deaf"--a cheeky and amorphous bit of bloopy electronica quite possibly recorded at the bottom of a swimming pool--the disc explodes with track two, a toxic squall of power chords and now-classic Olivera death howls. It's here the album's recurring concept/conceit is introduced as a generic-sounding announcer from L.A.'s "Clone" radio spits out some psychobabble reinforcing the tired if true cliche that commercial radio stinks. Similar mock broadcasts surface elsewhere, but they're easily forgivable, given the bounty on offer. Homme-powered tracks dominate--the lurching, weirdly springy "No One Knows" is a kind of "Monster Mash" for grownups; the vocal harmony-driven "The Sky Is Falling" is almost dreamy until a small army of guitars surges to the front lines to begin firing. And a lyrically winking hidden track, "Mosquito Song," is either an in-joke of ridiculous proportions or a declarative statement about the level of musicianship lurking just beneath the quaking veneer of the Queens' sound. Either way, genuine excitement comes early and often on Songs for the Deaf. It's a remarkable achievement--a hard rock record so good that it immediately evokes a conspiratorial fervor that makes you want to tell everyone you can about it. Er, job done. --Kim Hughes

 The ish November 9, 2008
A. L. Harrison (Philly,pa)
Huge fan of this band. I think this is their masterpiece to date (all albums including Era Vulgaris). Album by album, they seem to alter their sound a little; adding some ambience here, some texture there, new sounds, etc. This album captures all the elements of their sound in one package and it's the ish. I highly recommend this album to anyone who has ears and can hear.
 great album April 18, 2008
A. Killion
one of the best things about queens of the stone age is that it's really difficult for me to liken them to any other band. they do what they do really well and it's always refreshing and different. i actually prefer era vulgaris to songs for the deaf, despite the fact that dave grohl's drumming on here is superb. overall though, this album is excellent.
QOTSA's best (and that's saying a lot!) April 10, 2008

This album takes you on a drive through the desert rocking your f'ing socks off even though you are stuck in traffic. If you are new to QOTSA, start here. If you know them, then Satan will torture you for not owning this.

Songs for the deaf i have to say is a really good album. We got some great songs on this one. Well of course there are some songs that i did not really enjoy, which is: six shooter, a song for the dead, you think i aint worth a dollar but i feel like a millionaire, and the final track; mosquito song. But still, all the rest of the songs like the sky is falling, no one knows, first it giveth, go with the flow, gonna leave you, do it again, and god is in the radio are pretty amazing. rock on queens of the stone age!!!!!!!
