on first listen i would venture to say it's business as usual but darker. some songs sound downright sinister :shock:

whatever anyone says, that lad can write lyrics and never fails to impress me with them.

I like it, it is a little different due to Josh Homme, but Alex' lyrics are brilliant. Not sure of the title of the track I was racing through Victoria Station to this morning but it has a wonderful thumping drumbeat.

'my propeller' and 'cornerstone' are my faves. the latter sounds incredibly like morrissey :shock: - great track.

i always get the feeling that they somehow aren't to be mentioned on here - i dunno why. it's not like im their no.1 fan or anything but they deserve some credit, i think.

:?

I think their music is great - but when I first heard of them for some reason I assumed I would not like them, who knows why, must just have been what was said about them at the time.

Cornerstone is lovely.

I love the album, my favourite is probably Cornerstone.
I'm a big fan and have been lucky enough to see them live 9 times (highly reccomended)
I'm always surprised that i'm not the oldest one in the audience but as the boys themselves say "I'm sorry officer is there a certain age your surposed to be, 'cos nobody told me"
