	Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Songs For The Deaf is the band's third album and it clings steadfastly to QOTSA traditions, such as offbeat riffs and lyrics full of drug references.
		Songs For The Deaf is peppered with obnoxious (and we mean that in a good way) sound bytes, so keep your ears primed for those.
		Songs For The Deaf is the ambitious sonic depth charge Queens leader Josh Homme has been threatening to drop for years, and now he comes armed with the formidable Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) to up the ante on drums.

	Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf - PopMatters Music Review
		Boasting such insanely catchy songs as "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" and "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", Rated R was a fuzzed-out, yet taut record that attempted to take the whole stoner rock genre to new territory, featuring such instruments as lap steel guitar, piano, baritone sax, and full horn sections.
		The infectious '60s garage rock of "Another Love Song" comes in from way over in left field, sounding like a leftover from the 13th Floor Elevators' catalog, with Oliveri delivering a surprisingly effective vocal performance that, for once, is not just all screaming.
		Whether or not Songs for the Deaf manages to break through to the ever-fickle TRL crowd remains to be seen; those people with the patience to sit through this remarkable album a few times, though, will know the score.

	Queens of the Stone Age, Songs for the Deaf Album Review
		Songs for the Deaf is a vitriolic attack on the commercial radio format.
		However, their songs are not as accessible as the average radio song.
		Songs for the Deaf features a lot of heavy guitar riffing but also plenty of catchy melodies and a variety of sounds.

		When 2002’s Songs for the Deaf from Interscope hit shelves, critics were quick to either hail the album and band as the return of rock and roll or totally dismiss it’s musical importance.
		The arrangement of Songs for the Deaf is reminiscent of the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack…there are bits of dialogue from fictitious radio stations enveloping each track.
		Songs for the Deaf is but one of the band’s three increasingly worthwhile albums and should be an immediate purchase by any rock connoisseur despite it’s flaws.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf
		Songs for the Deaf is loosely a concept album, its tracks separated by radio noise, DJ intros and channel flipping.
		Zep was capable of pretty vocals ("Battle for Evermore" and that song about the Stairway, for instance), but they tended to pair them with acoustic guitar rather than the full metal jacket.
		Finally, it's off to the scarily dark tones of "Song for the Deaf", which closes out the main part of the album with a stellar dual between slamming drums, spiralling guitars and arching choruses.

	QOTSA \| Songs for the Deaf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The video for the song was shot in two parts: the first half on June 26 and 27, and the second half finished on July 15.
		Mosquito Song on the advance is the same song as Another Love Song on the retail version; Mosquito Song on the retail version is a different song entirely and is not found on the advance.
		Anyone could have done a song like The Real Song for the Deaf, and Mosquito Song not only doesn't sound like a QOTSA song (although it is a beautiful song and it'd be great if it was their song) but neither Nick, nor Josh, nor Mark sings it.

	W6: Songs for the Deaf
		The beat bounces throughout the song, tying together a syncopated guitar riff during the verses with a solid wall of guitar sound during the chorus.
		While the musical sound of the song changes several times and maintains a hard edge throughout, the vocals are smooth without fail from beginning to end.
		While the style for this song is radically different from the rest, it manages to make itself at home thanks to repeated vocal and harmony themes that have become familiar from the rest of the album.

	Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
		Songs for the Deaf is an album that is at once innovative, compelling, intense and at times often brutal.
		Songs for the Deaf takes a few listens to settle in, but it is well worth the effort.
		Songs such as "No One Knows," "Go With The Flow" and the hidden track "Mosquito Song," are all highlights and feature mysterious threads of melody, catchy guitar hooks and intriguing lyrics.

		Songs For The Deaf is more than an impressive recording of a collection of superstars, it is practically the definition of rock for the present generation.
		Heavy on rhythm and harmony, and extremely guitar laden, Songs For The Deaf is both dated and groundbreaking, depending on which track you look at.
		Songs For The Deaf is positively brimming with confusion.

		WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT
		The title track, "Songs for the Deaf" snakes in small and then shows you it's teeth: the bassline here is a relentless doom tether that pounds and slithers and seems to make the F train fly by at impossible speeds.
		The song is all guest vocals and an acoustic twelve string, and when Dean Ween comes in, the album's terrain changes completely: crashing toms and a horn section that sounds like the ghosts in your attic found a bottle of downers and started a marching band.

	CD Review: Queens of the Stone Age \| Songs for the Deaf \| Interscope - Daily Nexus Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Hailing from Joshua Tree, CA, the Queens of the Stone Age titled their latest album Songs for the Deaf as a commentary on all of the great music being made today that is falling on deaf ears.
		They should have called the album Songs That Will Make You Go Deaf, because it is one of the most inspired collections of loud, aggressive hard rock songs to come out in recent years.
		Songs for the Deaf is much more accessible than QOTSA's last album, the highly acclaimed Rated R. Like Rated R, Deaf is more of a collaboration project than a band.

	Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf - openingbands.com
		Songs for the Deaf is a totally cohesive record regardless of how diverse it is, and that is its strongest point: the ability to give diversity and the complexity of an album all in one tight, rockin’ package.
		The highlights of the CD include the song buffers; fake radio station IDs poking fun at the state of music as a whole; the intro to Song for the Dead, and Mark Lanegan’s (ex-Screaming Trees) vocals throughout the album, but especially on Hangin’ Tree.
		The songs have constant and simplistic guitars running through the entire song and drums that don’t really go off into fills at all, they just remain constant for the most part.

	InternetEd Reviews: Queens Of The Stone Age- Songs For The Deaf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Songs For The Deaf may not appeal to all hard rock fans, but stoner rock aficionados and grunge enthusiasts will find plenty of ear candy on this monster of a disc.
		The almost-title track, “Song For The Deaf” is full of strange chords, stoner grooves, and hazy vocal harmonies, and “Mosquito Song,” the hidden album closer, is a bizarre acoustic number.
		All in all, Queens Of The Stone Age’s Songs For The Deaf is an impressive album featuring both the calm (vocals) and the storm (music), both of which are lit up by flashes of stoner rock experimentation.

	KLUDGE MAGAZINE - Review - Queens Of The Stone Age: Songs For The Deaf
		Songs For The Deaf is the coolest real rock album of the year, and its single, "No One Knows," is some sort of devil child spawned from a drunken marriage of rockabilly grunge with a kind of catchiness only Rivers Cuomo could inspire.
		In its entirety, Songs For The Deaf made QOTSA Ozzfest's critical pinnacle and evolved this gang of rockers from novelty status to legitimate pillars of the community.
		The irony of "God Is Radio" is not lost, and clever song titles like "Song For The Dead" mock the album's actual title track "Song For The Deaf." Deep down, QOTSA know they're just another rock band, but we keep reminding them they are damn good at it.

	Turbula - Music - Review of "Songs for the Deaf"
		"Songs for the Deaf" is the band's third release since reforming from the ashes of Kryuss, and is full of great material.
		Something that usually catches my ear and makes me listen a bit closer is a band's ability to play in interesting time signatures, or the ability to make a song sound like it is written in one, when in fact it is not.
		There is one bonus track, "Mosquito Song," that sounds eerily like a long lost "Ween" song, to finish the album of in a nice calm fashion, and with Dean in on these sessions, it is not surprising at all.

		Where Rated R had a few truly rocking songs, this album is pretty much completely balls-to-the-walls aggression.
		For me, I had to listen to this album a couple of times before I really started to appreciate it, as a lot of the songs are melodic, but not in immediately obvious ways, you really have to get used to them before you realize how nice they are.
		My only real complaint against the album is that the radio format does get a bit old after a while, especially as it has a tendency to produce loud, screeching sounds, which you really don't wish to listen to at high volumes.

	Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		But so far, he and Oliveri haven't quite found the happy middle ground; most of the songs on Songs, including the bracing "First It Giveth" and the moody "The Sky is Fallin'," simply fail to make much of an impression beyond the impressive murmuring-buzzsaw approach.
		None of which is meant to paint Songs for the Deaf as a disappointment; it's not, exactly.
		If it finds the capable Queens coming up against the limitations of the sonic approach that is their bread and butter, it's a good problem for the band to have, especially since every indication is that it's one Homme and Oliveri should easily be able to overcome in the future.

		when i first listened to this album, i thought the little radio spots were a cool way to string together the songs, but i also worried that i would quickly tire of hearing them between every few songs or so.
		i appreciate experimental sound, but this song would really crush if the drums were more "there." i guess grohl could've been playing exclusively to his left, so it isn't the mix's fault...but i doubt it.
		The Queens of the Stone Age have crafted a record worthy of All Hail the Mighty Goat and Three Quarters with 'Songs for the Deaf.' The grooves are big, the songs are well written, the jams are kicked out.

		Stoner metal is back in the form of the third LP from Queens of the Stone Age, who are supplemented for this release (and supporting tour) by drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) and former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan.
		'Songs For The Deaf' is a triumph, a record forged with fire and sweat in the pits of Valhalla...
		It's probably the most surprised i've been when the first song explodes into a crazy, infectious thing called millionaire.

	village voice > music > Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf by Christian Hoard
		If Rated R was his fun house—a place to try out every idea floating around his head—Songs for the Deaf is his all-foyer mansion: a sprawling album with a spacious sound and a far-out (not to say dumb) concept.
		On the album's last voice-over, a DJ addresses not L.A. but the northern Cali desert, a locale as integral to the Queens' sound as Atlanta is to OutKast: meat-and-potatoes riffs wither in the heat and turn psychedelic; the singer sounds like he's wandering the sandy cliffs all alone.
		Way out in the desert, miles from civilization, you may indeed hear "songs for the deaf," which in this case apparently means the Queens' own songs, or at least those that transmit states of mind—frazzled, confused, tired, yet strangely pensive—to which pop radio is indeed deaf.

		On Songs for the Deaf, core Queens of the Stone Age members Nick Oliveri and Josh Homme, with the help of like-minded consorts Dave Grohl and Mark Lanegan, balance pure guitar-induced carnage with more complex, though no less aggressive, speed rock that whips by so fast it creates its own breeze.
		It seemed that the majority of songs where Nick Olivieri sung were simply exercises in bog-standard hardcore or bizarre arty noise (a trumpet was even heard on one of the songs fer chrissakes!)
		Thankfully, 'Songs For the Deaf' marks a return to form for the band.

	ROCKZONE.COM: CD Reviews: Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For the Deaf
		Unfortunately, these highly touted rock musicians are really un-deserving of the praise and adulation, which they have recently received from numerous music critics and the hum of good friends.
		Surely, these tunes were meant for the deaf, because they are fortunate not to be able to naturally hear QOTSA.
		Or perhaps all of the songs that are screaming out the same chords over and over again ad nauseam then taking a short break and resuming their churning and thudding across the fretboard must certainly have something to communicate?

		Millionaire," the first song on Songs For The Deaf may be familiar to some because it's listed on the WWE Tough Enough 2 Soundtrack.
		One of the most interesting elements in Songs For The Deaf are the smaller touches, like Homme and Oliveri harmonizing, Grohl's stop-start drumming that enforce Homme's tractor-beam like guitar.
		The title track "Song For The Deaf" is introduced appropriately by a dominatrix type DJ because this song is dark and primal.

		The second track is 'Jenny ~deaf girl~' and this is actually one of the first songs I ever wrote, more than 10 years ago.
		I met Jenny while on holiday and she was together with a camp of deaf and ill-hearing people.
		For the moment, only the new songs have the lyrics up, but more songs should be added soon.
