Title: Ultimate Sleaze
Review: This album, "Death By Sexy", is a vast improvement on the Eagles' debut album. The first album showed potential, but all but a few of the songs had no individual identity and sounded exactly like the track they followed. This album, however, many of the songs have catchy, discernible hooks and memorable guitar lines. Warm bass explodes whenever needed courtesy of QOTSA main man Josh Homme, and Jesse "Devil" Hughes proves that he's more than just a badass moustache both on the guitar and behind the mic. Standouts include first single "Boys Bad News", "Cherry Cola", "Solid Gold", "Don't Speak", "Chase the Devil", and "Eagles Goth", which all highlight the strengths of the Hughes/Homme partnership. Melodies that smack of Queens of the Stoneage, frenetic vocals and varied song structures reminiscent of the Pixies, and crushing, bouncy guitar riffs a-la Thin Lizzy. Essential listening for 2006 and for fans of "dance-rock".
