Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures (2009) [Lossless/FLAC]

Email me if you are looking for an album in Lossless/FLAC (even obscure ones). I'd be willing to send you a link to it if you would share the album on publicbt/thepiratebay after you finish downloading it. My email: [email protected] /* */ [email protected] /* */------- Lossless/FLAC Includes: Log/Cue Ladies and gentlemen, Them Crooked Vultures — the second-best band John Paul Jones has ever been in! The Led Zeppelin guys never made much of a splash in the supergroup scene, unless you're the kind of die-hard fan who still busts out those old records by the Honeydrippers or the Firm. But when John Paul Jones got the hard-rock supersession itch, he didn't mess around. For Them Crooked Vultures, he hooks up with Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), two of Zep's smartest disciples. If these three 800-pound gorillas want to bash out an album as willfully weird and slapdash as Them Crooked Vultures, who can tell them not to? And if they do a song called "Elephants" where they basically crunch every riff on Led Zeppelin II into seven dizzy minutes, why not? On Them Crooked Vultures, the three rock stars don't exactly visit the depths of Mordor. The album sticks to the sort of low-end guitar boogie that Homme and Grohl were blasting in their Camaros when they bummed their first cigarettes. The first thing you hear is Grohl's instantly recognizable drums whomping out "Nobody Loves Me & Neither Do I," as Homme plays desert-rat guitar and Jones adds a bass line as nasty as "Out on the Tiles." Homme takes almost all the lead vocals, but he doesn't try to define or dominate the songs, mostly doing lyric goofs like "Slick back my hair/You know the devil's in there." Sometimes the music sounds exactly like Zeppelin, as on "Reptiles," a sly update of "South Bound Suarez." Other times it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age with a hot new bassist. But it's not desperately ambitious — the album sounds like the good-natured quickie it probably was. Jones plays a few keyboard solos in "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" and "Scumbag Blues," and though Homme doesn't sing like Robert Plant (his upper register sounds more like Cream's Jack Bruce), he does deliver loads of Jimmy Page doppelgänger solos, just to prove he can. Despite the fact that Jones has spent most of the past three decades doing ornate orchestral arrangements (most smashingly on R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People), he doesn't get fancy here. He puts all his mojo into forward motion, reminding you he's the bass man who helped give the world "Black Dog." But the stylistic asides here add a bit of flavor. The superbly titled "Interlude With Ludes" is a psychedelic ditty with a circus-style loop, as Homme muses, "On the good ship Lollygag/LSD and a bloody pile of rags/I hate to be the bearer of bad news/But I am." "Warsaw or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up" is a daffy eight-minute Doors tribute. And "Caligulove" is, well, a song called "Caligulove." Homme and Grohl are old hands at this kind of thing — see their excellent Zeppelin homages on the Queens' Songs for the Deaf. But they definitely seem inspired by Jonesy's presence, and he helps them keep it light. Homme and Grohl pound away like fanboys touched with the spirit, as if jamming with one of their heroes brought out their wanton side. That's what makes Them Crooked Vultures fun: It's fan fiction with a classic-rock heart. ROB SHEFFIELD - Rolling Stone

I cannot get itunes to open these files, don't know why, anyone know how I can get it to do so?

DumDrumer (2009-12-21)

itunes doesn't play flac files, you need to convert them to wav (using something like winamp) and from wav to mp3 (itunes can do this).

GET foobar2000- free download and useage!
plays FLAC...

@ 420therock : iTunes is a shitty software anyway, I can't understand why people would use it for anything else than transferring files to their iPods ! For me, good ol' reliable Winamp still rules...

Thank you very much for putting up the lossless version.

konk684 (2011-10-25)

Awesome! Thx for sharing a FLAC copy! Best thing out there to play flac files is foobar2000. Winamp a close second.
YOU ROCK!

dunno what is up, i play .flac files all the time, with a logitech z-5500 system and a soundblaster gamer/music sound card, and VLC (updated)
this download sounds like asshole. like you ripped a .MP3 file then unzipped it into a .flac file. inconsistant volume levels, a SHIT TON of clipping, and over all BAD QUALITY.
i doubt its my PC, i'm playing other flac files perfect. floyd, queens, godsmack, bonobo, all flac files sounding fine. this one blows. STAY AWAY
