Songs for the Deaf
2002
Not On Label
With Rated R having become a legit hit, Queens of the Stone Age had expectations for their followup and Songs for the Deaf matched if not exceeded them. Presented as a shaggy-dog concept album about radio stations on a Southern California road trip, it was a blasting collection of tight and hooky as hell heavy rock rampages. Dave Grohl did a memorable guest turn on drums, while Rated R guest Mark Lanegan took on another key role, co-writing the smash hit “No One Knows” among other credits and taking lead vocals on several other songs.
