Eagles of Death Metal

The Eagles of Death Metal's third album Heart On sees the band finally finding the sound it seems to have been searching for on Peace, Love and Death Metal and Death By Sexy. While EoDM's earlier albums contained catchy songs that are possibly better in their singularity than those from Heart On, the rest of the albums seemed flat and way too much like Queens of the Stone Age, Josh Homme's other band that you may have heard of.

The album starts strong with the bluesy-sounding "Anything 'Cept the Truth" and gets you hooked with the following song (and first single) "Wannabe in L.A." The songs have a generally upbeat mood and rhythm to them and fans of the original EoDM will be relieved that the almost cheesy and always funny sexual innuendo is still present.

I liked this album, but I wouldn't say that I'd consider it an option for being in the top 20 of the year. Still, it was good and is definately worth a buy to anyone who likes Queens of the Stone Age or early Rolling Stones. If you aren't sure, just get the single "Wannabe in L.A."
