Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

[sidewinder]

I'm liking this more and more, though I still feel like I'm more into it for the first half and then my attention fades a bit. I don't know if I just don't like the songs in the second half as much, or if I just get a little bored with the style. Certainly they are not bad and I like the album as a whole. Sitting at a 3.5 rating right now.

Same feeling. Will need to give it repeat listens.

I actually dislike that song quite a bit, it deters me from putting on Rated R sometimes. Shame because it's packed full of great songs.

At least it's short and transitions well into a really good song

So it gets better on a second listening? I put this on during a road trip recently and wasn't that impressed. Which is sad. Because I want to be impressed. Arrggh.

I'll give it another shot soon.

I think it does.

I was rather indifferent on first listen and it may currently be my favourite record of the year so far.

Hm that's odd, I've always found QOTSA (and Kyuss by extension) work better as driving music, especially on road trips. In fact ... Like Clockwork was the album that finally broke my Slim Cessna's Auto Club spell for driving music.

No kidding! When I read that I thought the same thing.

I LOOOOOVE this album. It MIGHT be my favorite QOTSA album ever. "I Sat By The Ocean", "If I Had a Tail", "The Vampyre of Time and Memory" and "Smooth Sailing" are my favorites. Yeah, like, I can't even describe how much I love these songs and this album. Sexy.
