Review of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE’s New Album, …Like Clockwork

Clockwork is the latest offering from the iconic rock band led by Josh Homme. Homme’s rebellious and cool persona shines through in the album, setting a tone of survivor’s menace from the opening track, Keep Your Eyes Peeled. The album seamlessly blends hipsway crunch with melodic sophistication in tracks like I Sat by the Ocean, while tracks like If I Had a Tail start off light before exploding into a powerful anthem.

My God Is the Sun showcases the band’s hard rock prowess with a thinking-rogue twist, creating a seething energy throughout the album. Collaborations with Elton John, Trent Reznor, Mark Lanegan, and Dave Grohl on Fairweather Friends add an epic quality to the album, while Smooth Sailing brings a falsetto grind-funk sound that Marilyn Manson should envy. This album solidifies Queens of the Stone Age as a force to be reckoned with in the rock scene.

For listeners who have been on the fence about the band, …Like Clockwork is a game-changer. It’s not just another album on the clockwork – it’s a smart and angry predator ready to strike. The infectious track If I Had a Tail stands out as a podworthy favorite, showcasing the band’s versatility and raw energy.
