Songs for the Deaf Queens of the Stone Age's 2002 breakthrough Songs for the Deaf is framed as a road trip across the Southern California desert, its tracks stitched together with fake radio-station interludes that give the record a woozy, sun-baked concept-album feel. The lineup was a genuine supergroup moment: Dave Grohl pounded the drums before returning full-time to Foo Fighters, Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees adds his gravel-voiced menace, and Nick Oliveri's bass drives the frantic energy. Lead single "No One Knows" became a rock-radio staple, and the album is widely regarded as the high-water mark of Josh Homme's desert-rock sound. Received from Alliance Entertainment
