Songs For The Deaf is the third studio album by Queens Of The Stone Age, released on August 27, 2002 by Interscope Records. The album features Foo Fighter and former Nirvana member Dave Grohl on drums, percussion and backing vocals, and was also the last studio album to feature Nick Oliveri on bass. Songs For The Deaf features a large number of guest musicians, and is loosely considered a concept album, taking the listener on a drive through the California desert from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree while tuning into radio stations from towns along the way such as Banning and Chino Hills.

Songs For The Deaf received critical acclaim upon its release, and earned the band their first gold certification in the United States. One million copies were sold in Europe, earning the band a platinum certification from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry in 2008. The album received two Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy nominations for singles “No One Knows” (2002) and “Go with the Flow” (2003).
