Queens of The Stone Age – …Like Clockwork

Released in 2013, Queens of the Stone Age’s “…Like Clockwork” marked a shift in the band’s sound, venturing into a darker and more introspective territory compared to their previous work. While retaining the band’s signature heavy guitar riffs and driving rhythms, the album explores themes of loneliness, mortality, and the complexities of love.

The introspective lyrics, often delivered by Josh Homme’s characteristic vocals, grapple with existential questions and personal struggles. Musically, the album is diverse, incorporating elements of blues, stoner rock, and even hints of electronica. Collaborations with renowned artists like Trent Reznor and Elton John further add to the album’s richness and depth. Despite its thematic weight, “…Like Clockwork” is not without its moments of groove and catchiness, showcasing the band’s ability to balance introspection with musical power.
