WHAT'S THE DEAL? Joshua Homme's guest-embracing project churns out more sludge for your personal listening pleasure.

TO BE HONEST: Business as usual with trademark riffery, doomy caterwauling and sleaze-blues tomfoolery conspiring in a minor crunch-rock masterpiece. It's a bit like an undiscovered gem from Seattle's sophisticated grunge era, actually.

LISTEN OUT FOR: 'You Got A Killer Scene There, Man...' Has apparently got Shirley Manson and Brody Dalle guest vocaling. Also, 'I Never Came' is the package's melodic highlight, iffy title aside.
