Queens of the Stone Age

Ever since No One Knows graced the airwaves in the early 2000s, I tried to "get into" QotSA, but it never really worked... until this album finally got something to click inside of me.

I love QOTSA very much but after a handful of listens, I’m not sure I’ll return to this one often in its entirety. There are some tracks that’ll make it on to a playlist but some just ain’t hittin’ for me. It feels so underproduced and the songs seem like leftovers from other projects (Iggy Pop, TCV etc). I know Josh is saying this is a new era for the band, and I am one who loves it when a band takes big swings and tries new things, but this doesn’t feel like that to me. Queens have such a unique tone to their music and this really just feels generic.

It is perfect….like clockwork is on my daily rotation and thought it would be hard to catch that vibe from them again….actually they are my favorite band so I love everything they do…I recommend all of their Albums…

Overall interesting, very diverse for a QOTSA record. Where the Goth Girls At and Run Away from the Mob are moments of pure genius!

QOTSA had an undeniable resurgence in '26 which lead to me listening to SFTD. This is an album I've heard glowing reviews about for decades, but never gave it a chance. I'm here to right my wrongs and make up for lost time. This record is an absolute classic and deserves all its flowers its received since its release. This record is heavy, raw, and complex, which creates a record that can go toe to toe with any hard rock album over the last fifty years. Check it out!

It's true - no one knows

A good album. With a story to tell. I loved the whole vibe it was given. One to listen to when picking up your autumnal leaves with your headphone on

Probably one of the Queens' most sleeper albums, some of the tracks here are just amazing, with standouts being Misfit Love, the cheeky criticism of the influencer class, I'm Designer, along with radio friendly hits like 3s & 7s.

A moody and heavy album perfect for the spooky season.

Es una obra maestra oscura, madura y profundamente emocional. Nacido de un momento crítico en la vida de Josh Homme (tras una cirugía casi fatal y una crisis personal), el álbum cambia el rock desértico y fiestero por un sonido más introspectivo, melancólico y cinematográfico, su tono mas oscuro, melancólico y vulnerable se muestran es sus letras mas personales que exploran la mortalidad, la depresión y el dolor, alejándose del hedonismo habitual, a nivel de composición, madurez y atmósfera, ...Like Clockwork es la cumbre artística de Josh Homme.

I love how cohesive this album is from start to finish, with the radio interludes interspersed. A nice heavy listen. I will have to revisit this one.

There are no words that could describe this album perfectly
