Throughout its career, the band has been described as alternative rock, stoner rock, alternative metal, hard rock, and occasionally nu metal. Homme has described the band’s self-titled debut album as driving music, angular and recorded dry, with the album featuring solid and repetitive riffs in its song structure. Rolling Stone magazine also noted a “connection between American meat-and-potatoes macho rock of the early 1970s, like Blue Cheer and Grand Funk Railroad, and the precision-timing drones in German rock of the same period.”
Their discography includes seven studio albums, one live album, three extended plays, fourteen singles, three promotional singles and twenty music videos.
