Recently released on Interscope in 2002, this was one of the best albums in rock for a long, long time. The line up of Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri, Mark Lanegan and Dave Grohl made every other rock album released that year, and before, look like complete rubbish.
SFTD is the album which will be considered
QOTSAs "coupe de grace" as it swings from manic to depressant all in one listen.
