Peace Love Death Metal LP

Peace, Love, Death Metal was Eagles of Death Metal's 2004 debut, a garage-rock and rockabilly record fronted by Jesse Hughes with his longtime friend Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age co-producing, playing drums on several tracks, and helping arrange the songs. The name is a bit of a joke, since the record leans toward stripped-down boogie and swagger rather than anything metal, and it set up the duo's follow-up, 2006's Death by Sexy. Critics landed mixed to positive, with Pitchfork and Entertainment Weekly both responding well to the loose, hooky energy.
