Tom Sinclair
Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
You've gotta admire a band that kicks things off by chanting ''nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, Ecstasy, and alcohol'' while shoving your face into a vortex of revved-up metallic boogie. Or do you? The Queens of the Stone Age's second effort, R, rocks hard, yet an off-putting patina of cleverness makes you wish these so-called stoner-rock heroes would forget about art and make music as Neanderthal as their name.
