"Millionaire obviously shares the same love of T. Rex's big, shiny glam rock riffs as Joshua Homme, who produced this album. At times, the vocals sound very similar to Homme's, although there's a bit more variety here. ('Wake Up the Children' actually channels RATM's Zach De La Rocha.) Fans of Queens of the Stone Age (except for those meatheads who only dig Nick Oliveri's Metal-Goblin input) will definitely feel a special connection to this band. The aforementioned T-Rexitudes are very reminiscent of QOTSA's glammier stuff, but Millionaire embraces synthy-techno grooves as well as big guitars, which makes for a most excellent combination...if you can find it, pick up the Japanese version, which is accompanied by a bonus disc. The song 'Starmeat' is AWESOME, well worth the couple of extra bucks you may pay for the import. Buy it, blast it, love it!!!"
