Songs For The Deaf [UK]

Songs for the Deaf is the third studio album by American hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age. Released in 2002, the album features Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl as a guest drummer. Like their other albums, Songs for the Deaf has a large number of guest musicians, a signature of the band’s releases. Following the breakthrough Rated R, this album is widely regarded as Queens of the Stone Age’s magnum opus, garnering universal acclaim from critics, whilst earning the band’s first gold record certification in the U. S., having sold 986,000 copies in the country. Songs for the Deaf is loosely considered as a concept album, taking the listener on a drive from Los Angeles to the Mojave Desert while tuning into radio stations from towns on the way such as Banning, California and Chino Hills, California.
