Album Notes
Queens Of The Stone Age: Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri, Dave Grohl, Mark Lanegan.Additional personnel includes: Dean Ween (guitar).Producers: Josh Homme, Eric Valentine, Adam Kasper.Recorded at The Site, San Rafael, California and Barefoot Studios, Hollywood, California."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.Includes a bonus DVD disc.DJs: Chris Goss; C-; Twiggy Ramirez; Blag Dahlia; Dave Catching; Casey Chaos.Audio Mixers: Adam Kasper; Nick Raskulinecz.Recording information: Conway Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA; Sound City Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA.Photographer: Nigel Copp.Unknown Contributor Roles: Dave Grohl; Mark Lanegan; Nick Oliveri.On their third album, Songs for the Deaf, Queens of the Stone Age are so concerned with pleasing themselves with what they play that they don't give a damn for the audience. This extends to the production, with the entire album framed as a broadcast from a left-of-the-dial AM radio station, the sonics compressed so every instrument is flattened. It's a joke run wild, punctuated by an ironic mock DJ, and it fits an album where the players run wild. As usual, Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri have brought in a number of guests, including Mark Lanegan on vocals and Dean Ween on guitar, but they've anchored themselves with the drumming of the mighty Dave Grohl, who helps give the band the muscle sorely missing from most guitar rock these days, whether it's indie rock or insipid alt-metal. QOTSA may be a muso band -- a band for musicians and those who have listened to too much music; why else did the greatest drummer and greatest guitarist in '90s alt-rock (Grohl and Ween, respectively) anxiously join this ever-shifting collective? -- but that's the pleasure of the band, and Songs for the Deaf in particular: it's restless and pummeling in its imagination and power. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Editorial Reviews
9 out of 10 - ...All of what you might want from them and their music is here. There are great titles, displays of extraordinary rock'n'roll and great disturbing pop...
NME

All the elements which made its predecessor so great are here, but in excelsis...the thrill of these ensemble performances is downright scary.

SFTD was a vision of dark-hued rock brilliance louder than a bomb.

Ranked #8 on Spin's list of 2002's Albums of the Year - ...A feast for metal lifers who [can] no longer stomach Korn.
Spin (20030101)

3 stars out of 5 - ...This is prog grunge for the unpretentious....Whether the ace metal is speedy or onerous, it is always deployed in the service of the eccentric song structures, and every track becomes a splendid, mysterious thing.
