Peace Love Death Metal LP

Jesse Hughes fronted Eagles of Death Metal's 2004 debut, Peace, Love, Death Metal, with his longtime friend Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age co-producing, drumming on several tracks, and helping arrange the songs. The name oversells it: this is stripped-down boogie and swagger, not metal, and it laid the groundwork for the duo's 2006 follow-up, Death by Sexy. Reviews ran mixed to positive, Pitchfork and Entertainment Weekly among those who liked its loose, hooky energy.
