| The Dream Boys dynamic duo is back. This Joshua Homme produced album sounds exactly the way God intended live rock and roll to sound: raw, sleazy, and spiffy. It's more hook laden than your old job at the bait shop. Put your dancing shoes on.
| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Jesse "The Devil" Hughes (vocals, electric guitar); Brian O'Connor (vocals); Josh Homme (piano, background vocals); Joey Castillo (drums); Jack Black, Liam Lynch (background vocals). |  | Audio Mixers: Josh Homme; Alain Johannes. |  | Recording information: 11AD Studio; Sound City. |  | Photographers: Chapman Baehler; Brody Dalle. |  | It's possible that, if Josh Homme (of the widely touted Queens of the Stone Age) wasn't in the Eagles of Death Metal, nobody would pay the band much mind. That's because EoDM's off- the-cuff sound is reminiscent of two stoner high-school buddies getting together in the garage to lay down some heavy rock tunes... dude. And, in fact, that's exactly what this is, but luckily one of those high-school buddies is in fact Homme (the other is frontman Jesse Hughes), and people do pay attention. |  | DEATH BY SEXY, the duo's second effort, is steeped in classic rock, particularly the 1970s FM sounds of Kiss, T. Rex, Alice Cooper, and the like. Riffalicious licks and pounding drums are the primary ingredients, and with song titles like "Cherry Cola" and "I Like to Move in the Night," it's clear the EoDM have one foot planted firmly in teenage rock-&-roll fantasia. A goofy sense of fun pervades the disc, and while it's hard to take seriously, it's also hard not to enjoy. | Producer: Joshua Homme | Engineer: Pete Martinez |
| | Artist Overview | | The straight-up, good-times rock played by the Eagles of Death Metal could have easily slipped through the cracks if not for two major factors: the band's drummer is Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, and the songs really are quite good. Homme and co-conspirator Jesse Hughes definitely have their tongues in their cheeks from time to time, but as the band surely understands (as evidenced by the title of its 2006 full-length, DEATH BY SEXY), you can't have fun playing glittery boogie-metal if you're taking yourself too seriously. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (p.67) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] tosses together garage jams, slinky classic-rock riffs, sun-baked harmonies and falsetto-laden come-ons..."Entertainment Weekly (p.87) - "[The album] has enough new sex puns and recycled Stones hooks to defy the odds." Uncut (p.105) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Homme's party band comes on with a woozy, boozy, goofball rush....Difficult to believe something so funny can rock so hard."
