    My first impression: decent background music, much better listening than Chickenfoot.
    Second impression: hey! Josh Homme stole my riff! And why are there so many different bands with a song called 'Elephants'?
    Third impression: I'm sick and tired of Dave Grohl's drumming.
    Fourth impression: Shit! Josh Homme's voice is starting to sound better, I'm noticing more keyboards, and the album is starting to shake the floor a bit.
    Fifth impression: I'm really fucking liking this album... 'Reptiles' has hints of vintage Scorpions, in addition to the obvious Zep/QotSA similarities.

    Listen to it all the way through a few times. Turn it up each time. It gets better with each subsequent listen. If you must, think of it as Era Vulgaris but slightly less cynical and sarcastic, more power hungry.
