Former Queens of the Stone Age member, Nick Oliveri
has created a very raw, unbridled, passionate album.
One part Nine Inch Nails, one part Manson, and two
parts powerful vocals. Throw in a dash of Jack Daniels
and you will have a new drink that I am going to call
the Martini from Hell, do not withhold the Oliveri.
Lame metaphor's aside (or was that just a pun?)
this album is great. If I ever had a chance to see
these guys in concert I would definitely go! Oliveri’s
overpowering passion for his craft reaches out of
your speakers and slaps you in the face, then while
you are squirming on the floor it boots you in the
head. More then one song on this album makes me want
to jump on my skate board/bmx/dirt bike and go balls
out.
“Dead Planet” also features three cover
songs. Nick and the Generator take on the Ramones,
Mental Hell. and, Johnny Cash's, Sam Hall. Johnny
Cash? Oh yeah, I think he did Johnny proud.
Grab a drink and rock out to Like a Bomb, All Systems
Go and Lie Detector, then see if you can get up and
walk away. Uou will probably need to call a cab, or
a rescue squad.
