Queens of the Stone Age | …Like Clockwork

[VinylGuy]

I'm totally thrown by this record. Completely unexpected from Team Grohl/Homme. There's nothing blazingly fast or hard. Its all sinister, sexy groove. Smooth Sailing is unreal. Its nice to hear them expand their sound and give the middle finger to expectation, create a nice slice of actual art. I don't think I've ever heard Grohl so restrained in his playing. He's serving the songs well, and his drum sound is fairly solid. Josh Homme continues to be the one guy in rock who's dialed in an amazing signature sound. Whether its past drum tracks or with his arsenal of weird guitars and amps, he sounds like no one else out there. This totally holds place until Them Crooked Vultures II.

yeah, i think for once Grohl is playing what the song actually needs...i thought of that the other day, thinking this doesnt feel Dave at all...in a good way.

It's not that Queens make bad music now, they absolutely don't, but it just doesn't scratch whatever itch their early material did (and still does) for me.

Whatever about anyone's view of it.

if that's truly your position, than why take such offense to people liking the album.

if you don't like it, then stop posting in this thread about how much you don't like it. that, dime, is trolling.

That's not how RM works. Check any Pj thread. Just cos you dont like something doesnt mean You're not allowed post about it.

If I had a tail is the best song on this.

I'm still not sure about this Vampyre track and its placement on the record.

[zeb]

Other tracks in the 3 spot:

If Only
Leg Of Lamb
First It Giveth
Everybody Knows That You're Insane
I'm Designer

I like where Vampyre sits. It feels good.

[VinylGuy]

Vampyres is a beautiful song....so calm, so quiet...Josh perfect vocals.

[VinylGuy]

also Kalopsia...how can Dime say this is the same shit they were playing before??

They never did a song like Kalopsia before Dime.

I've only heard clips of Kalopsia and I appear Missing and I know those songs are better than If I Had A Tail. First of all....the song is called "If I Had A Tail", second, its pretty nondescript to my ears. If anything, that is the one that probably sounds like a nothing new type retread....
