Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

First time listening now, I'm liking it but I'm not blown away (didn't expect to be). Definitely better than Era Vulgaris, but I'll have to play it a few more times to see if I like it more than Lullabies to Paralyze. I'm not sure how I feel about the production.

I think I agree. Fairweather Friends is a pretty crap song but the rest are titular, especially Smooth Sailing, Keep Your Eyes Peeled, and My GOd is the Sun

4/5

I'm just finishing my first play through and I'm feeling like it's definitely a 4/5.

There hasn't been a QOTSA album I haven't liked to be perfectly honest, but I'm still thinking it may not be crazy to say it's their best since Songs for the Deaf.

It's a really mellow album and a nice change of pace after the desert-glam rock on Era Vulgaris.

The last two tracks are my favorites and I agree with everyone saying this is the best album since Song for the Deaf. I'd call it a 9/10, so a 5/5 for this thread.

I Appear Missing is a FANTASTIC song. Seriously like the new album. I didn't care much for Era Vulgaris.

Really boring on the first run through. It strikes me as being more interested in creating a groove than a song. And I can't put my finger on it, but its weirdly slick. Like what a pot-head album would be like if it went commercial. Its a little too cheery and plastic for me.

Again, first listen. We'll see. I went through this thread and will re-listen to the songs being mentioned as having been the better of the lot.

Hey, can you please send me your copy of this album, I need to get my listen on!

Mojo · 06-11-2013, 05:43 AM

I wouldn't know how to even do such things.
