Plenty of rock music that comes out today wants to break new ground or provoke thought. Then there's the L.A. outfit Eagles of Death Metal, who would just prefer to lay down some scuzzy-and-fuzzy guitar while tossing sexual metaphors and tongue-in-cheek choruses around like dollar bills at a strip club. They do that on their latest album, "Heart On," which is a fun dose of filthy-sounding seventies guitar grooves with a sugary glam rock center.

The throwback collaboration between Queens of the Stone Age mastermind Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes seemed to start out as one big inside joke for their first two albums, but they have managed to turn into a solid rock group capable of laying down some muscle car riffage and sleazy beats.

The most enjoyable come in the form of "Wannabe in L.A.," the throttling cluster bomb of bass fuzz, parsed guitar and auxillary percussion, or the galloping disco groove of "Prissy Prancin'" with Hughes being the life of the party with his rompy falsetto. The group has fun with their song titles and pouring sex all over the lyrics, with tracks like "I Used To Couldn't Dance (Tight Pants)" and "I'm Your Torpedo," but that still doesn't mean the latter track and songs like "High Voltage" don't pack a bit of Queens' dark menace.

The guys even take a break to mellow out a bit (for at least one song) with the SoCal folky psychedelia of "Now I'm A Fool," where Hughes shows he has a serious side.

You could get on EoDM for biting the Stones a bit too much on the self-titled track or how the Southern rocker "How Can A Man With So Many Friends Feel So Alone" sounds a bit like something Kid Rock would try to pull off. But it's hard to knock a band who lets their desire to steal from their idols be known - especially if the music is this much of an unpretentious blast.
