"Go With The Flow" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. "No One Knows" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Chinese version contains a Pal format DVD, "Real Number 1", which features live footage recorded at the L.A. Troubadour with singer Mark Lanegan and drummer Dave Grohl. SONGS FOR THE DEAF includes the bonus tracks "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret" (Live), "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy", and "Mosquito Song" (Hidden).

Chinese version contains the additional track "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy", as well as a bonus CD-ROM that features a video for "No One Knows" and visual footage of the video production process.

When one speaks of supergroups, alternative rock has seen its share of shining moments, from 1991's Temple Of The Dog to 1995's Mad Season. In 2002, the wheel spun around to Queens Of The Stone Age with SONGS FOR THE DEAF, their bid to save hard rock. While QOTSA founders Nick Oliveri and Josh Homme have often used a variety of players to round out their lineup, having Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) make his return to the drum throne is cause enough to stop the presses. If that weren't enough, add former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan and you've got all the ingredients for hard-rock greatness.

Classic rock fans may recall with fondness the car-radio opening from Kiss' DESTROYER, paid tribute on opening track "Millionare" (SONGS is strung together with a series of similar radio station interludes). The vibe is set with fierce impact; requisite Sabbath-like riffs and T. Rex-from-hell swagger are the weapons of choice. Grohl sounds quite at home behind the drums, leaving double-bass drummers scratching their heads with his single-kick mastery in "First It Giveth." Be it undeniable vocal harmony ("Another Love Song"), balls-out psychedelic rock ("Song For The Dead"), or moody alt-rock grooving ("The Sky Is Falling"), SONGS FOR THE DEAF makes a strong case for rock album of 2002.

Certain people would have you believe that Queens of the Stone Age's third album, Songs for the Deaf, is the return of real rock -- a bonecrushing work of boundless imagination, the cornerstone in a new era of great rock, much like Nevermind was a decade beforehand. These people, coincidentally, happen to be in the same group that criticizes the Strokes and the White Stripes, claiming that those two bands are nothing but hype, while shamelessly indulging in breathless hyperbole whenever they speak a single word about QOTSA. Anybody who heard Songs prior to its release claimed it was the greatest rock album in years, at least the greatest since Rated R, setting up expectations impossibly high for this very good album. To begin with, this ain't accessible -- not because the music is out-there or unfamiliar (lots of Cream filtered through garage rock, prog-metal, album rock, and punk does not make one a Borbetomagus, nor does it make it "imaginative," either), but because it is so insular, so concerned with pleasing themselves with what they play that they don't give a damn for the audience. This extends to the production, which sounds like a stoned joke gone awry as it compresses and flattens every instrument as if it were coming out of a cheap AM car radio. Sure, that might be the point -- the album begins with radio chatter, and there are lots

4 stars this album blows chunks on the current crap
Although most people wouyld say the production on this album sucks, i beg to differ. I think it's original, and adds to the overall sound of the band. But what about the music? Some really outstanding songwriting with a very 70's feel, though absolutely not retro. The album actually moves and accentuates like an album should, someting lost in today's bang or a buck culture. Josh Homme's sweet vocal melodies dance like a little kid in your head over the ballsy performance of the entire band, with much kudos to Dave Grohl, former drummer of scream, nirvana, and currently doing solo work in the guise of the foo fighters. I love this band.

5 stars Modern Classic - Unabashed Rock
This is a mature, majestic concept album, that manages to incorporate influences from across the board - whilst still preserving the unique 'QOTSA' sound. It has everything to keep the modern rocker happy, with adrenaline pumping hits like 'First it Giveth' and 'Go With the Flow'. Meanwhile the slow psychedelic epics such as 'God is in the Radio', will appeal to those of an 'old school' persuasion. Get it now!

5 stars wow, great solid CD.
one of the few CD's where every song is worth listening to, most of them are just rockin out songs, and most of them have real good lyrics, too. If you like rockin out, this cd is for you.
