So I was finally able to get past the first track just a few days ago. That first track is absolutely amazing. Easily my favorite of the album. But after finally listening to the entire album, I can say this...

JPJ was not needed.

It is claerly a heavy collaboration between Homme and Grohl. Which is fine with me. The Songs For The Deaf album is a big favorite of mine. So I have no problem with this album's sound. I can listen to and understand Homme and Grohl's influence. But JPJ just takes a backseat in this album and it kinda sounds like he isn't needed. It sounds like the bass work in this album can be replaced by any "Pretty Good" bass player. Like nothing stands out and catches my attention. I thought all 3 would be able to show off their playing styles, but it's mostly Homme and Grohl.

Which I'm fine with. I just think you can replace JPJ with any "pretty good" bass player of today and still acieve the same sound.

I'm pretty sure JPJ must have been involved with the arrangements and the songwriting as well. Someone of his stature wouldn't just take a backseat.
