There are more important rock groups than Eagles of Death Metal, but are any of them this much fun? Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme are essentially a comedy act, sending up and celebrating that high-Seventies hybrid of garage, glam and ZZ Top: scuzz rock. On their third album, the duo are as danceable as ever, but they've tiptoed away from straight musical pastiche, crudding up their blues boogie with low-fi fuzziness and oddball percussion. Much of the fun is in the lyrics, which revel in AM-rock-radio tropes — sleazy tales of tight pants and loose women. The song titles tell the story: "Prissy Prancin'," "I'm Your Torpedo" and "High Voltage," where Hughes and Homme croon, with more or less straight faces, "We're getting freaky in the shadows of the night."
