Review

Queens of the Stone Age's 'Like Clockwork' is a raw, intense journey through the depths of Josh Homme's psyche. Released in 2013 after a six-year hiatus, this album is a sonic punch to the gut that'll leave you reeling. It's the band's first time topping the Billboard 200, and damn, did they earn it.

The album's got a killer lineup of guest stars, including Dave Grohl banging the skins on most tracks, and appearances by Elton John and Trent Reznor. But don't let that distract you from the core of what makes this album great - it's Homme's guitar work and songwriting at their most vulnerable and powerful.

From the crushing riffs of 'My God Is the Sun' to the haunting introspection of the title track, 'Like Clockwork' covers a lot of ground. It's a testament to the band's ability to evolve, pushing their sound into new territories while still maintaining that signature QOTSA grit. This album isn't just about rock - it's about struggle, mortality, and the relentless march of time. It's heavy stuff, both musically and lyrically, and it's exactly what makes this album so damn good. - Taylor
