Uh...NO.

The Sublime album, IMO, was for the most part a load of contrived frat-rock without much to keep it interesting. There were maybe only 6 or 7 songs I found listenable on there. I'll admit that the band's blend of ska, punk, rap, and funk was pretty novel, and that Brad Nowell (I think that's his name) had a great voice. It's a shame he never could find his full potential. I will, however, check out their first album and see if I have any luck with it.

Furthermore, the words "sucks" and "Queens Of The Stone Age" should never be used in the same sentence. I love Songs For The Deaf, and I think it's what more bands should be making these days--an album with songs that all sound different, good songwriting, hooks, inventiveness, and oh yeah, BALLS. None of this lame "retro" bullsh-t. Granted, the radio bits are a bit lame (not to mention copped straight from The Who Sells Out) but that can be forgiven. Rated R, their previous album, is even better IMO.

Audioslave does indeed suck. One lackluster album and way too much f'kin hype.
