The singer/guitarist from "Queens of the Stone Age" also fronts this band on his off days. EoDM is more stripped down band that explores different influences than the hard rock QotSA. Unfortunately, even though I can hear the makings of some great songs here, they are all under polished and poorly recorded. The entire album sounds like a few mics were set up in a room and the vocals overdubbed on that. The guitars sound very tiny and tinny. The songwriting sounds rushed. Many of the songs needed more time to fully flesh out. Instead they meander a bit or good hooks are paired with foddor.
Listened to in the background it sounds like a very good album. But when you pay attention you realize it all doesn't gel and it's a very poor outing.
