This is not to say, however, that “Grease” is perfect. The accompanying live band is talented and their inclusion in the sound design adds texture to a story primarily told through musical numbers; however, the band??s volume usually overwhelms the actors’ singing, and anyone who doesn’t already know the words to the songs may get lost...
...Vultures are a bona fide supergroup. Consisting of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Nirvana and Foo Fighters), and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), they form a formidable lineup of rock’s elder statesmen both past and present. Despite the impressive breadth of the band??s talent, however, it is Homme who controls the group.

The appropriately titled “Interlude with Ludes?...
...from disaster / We stayed on the run too long / Hoping we’d never return.” While none of the ballads can measure up to “Stolen,” arguably one of the decade’s best alternative love songs from the band??s 2007 magnum opus “Dusk and Summer,” many of the tracks, including “Belle” and the Semisonic-recalling “Blame it on the Changes,” come very close...
