Creating the sixth Queens of the Stone Age record would be anything but easy. Following 2007’s Era Vulgaris, mastermind Josh Homme would take a six year break from the band -- producing the Arctic Monkeys’ third record (Humbug), playing in other bands like Eagles of Death Metal and Them Crooked Vultures, while also welcoming his second child. But in the fall of 2010, after developing an antibiotic-resistant staph infection, Homme was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. Then bedridden for a handful of months. Leaving the frontman to sink into a deep depression.
The singer and guitarist would later tell journalists that his heart had actually stopped during the surgery meant to rid his infection and that even after he was revived, he felt like a part of him had been left behind on the operating table. Lost and out of love with music, the turbulent process of assembling ...Like Clockwork would lead to quite possibly their best record yet, helping redefine the band’s signature style while documenting Homme’s personal journey of moving forward. Let’s explore The Tragedy Behind ...LIKE CLOCKWORK

Before you say I missed "I Sat By The Ocean" -- it didn't really contribute to the narrative but it does have an excellent hook and melody with some pretty cool harmonized guitars. It features some staple QOTSA lyricism: macho but emotional. What's your favourite track off ...Like Clockwork? And why is it "I Appear Missing"?

@jesoos7426 2 года назад

I deeply enjoy My God is The Sun, it's a great song and getting me jamming everytime.

@robbdavis9889 2 года назад

Fairweather Friends for me. Just the riff playing over Josh crooning "and so are yooooou" is just finger licking good.

@chaz4110 2 года назад

Honestly, probably the title track. While it’s true that it’s the least QOTSA-sounding song, it had so much impact on me when i listened to the album in order for the first time. With the proper context the song feels so raw and almost confessional like Homme’s done hiding behind his masculinity in songs like Smooth Sailing and I Sat By The Ocean.

@jpeglang 2 года назад

There isn’t a bad song on the album, but to me, Kalopsia is such an awesome slow burner. It’s the definition of a perfect song.

In December of 2015 I had a really bad accident on my high school swim team in which I broke my neck, drowned to death, got resuscitated, went to the icu for two weeks and ended up having to learn how to live life with a spinal chord injury. All this to say that I Appear Missing is not just representative of Josh Homme’s death experience but as a whole it captures the surreal feel of learning to appreciate life. This album is one of my favorites but specifically I Appear Missing for that reason. This album to me is about growth in every sense of the word. I hope whoever reads this is appreciating their life too.

I actually wrote a major research paper on this album my freshman year of high school. The prompt was to write about something that was under/over-appreciated. I wrote about how - at the time of the release of "...Like Clockwork"- Queens of the Stone Age were criminally under-appreciated band. While diving into the lyrics for this album and for this paper, I soon uncovered the awful things that Josh Homme went through. Absolutely nobody should have to go through what he did, but the fact that Josh came out of all of it with an album that was still relatable is beyond me. This was my favorite QOTSA album before I started doing research for that paper, and it is still my favorite. The opportunity to really understand where these fantastic songs came from only deepened the experience of, and my love for this album. PS - my favorite song is Kalopsia - Alex Turner contributed on the lyrics, and the way Josh belts out "I love you more than I can control" gets me every time

I think that Era is hard to listen and understand but once you go through some nasty and weird moments in your life, you are able to catch the sound and feel that twisted feeling it has.

@Spookje09 2 года назад

This is my favorite by QOTSA and in my top ten of all time. This record helped me through the darkest time of my life and will be forever grateful to them for getting me through it. On first few listens, I didn't 'get it', but when it clicked, I was hooked forever.

@@stevenc6969 Suture, Run Pig Run, 3’s & 7’s. No it does not. It’s really weird shit, really dirty and experimental guitar tones and song structures, but it remains creative and consistent all the way through.

@stevenc6969 2 года назад

@@Lancelot30 I like the album a lot, just don't think it sticks the landing at the end. If it finished at the end of Suture Up Your Future it would be a much better, tidier album imo. I can live without Run Pig Run, River In The Road, Running Joke and the title track. Very skippable tracks for me. It's definitely some of their most experimental work though, I've heard a range of opinions on that album.

@Lancelot30 2 года назад

@@stevenc6969 dude, Running Joke and the title track are not even on the official release of the album. Plus, they’re amazing songs wtf.

You make the best QOTSA related content on this site man. I'd love videos on the early records or their more mixed bag records like Vulgaris and Villains, talking about what goes right and what goes wrong

@themarlboromandalorian Год назад

QotSA might not have made every track a radio hit... And you might not like every track... But they never fail to kill it. And they step it up every album.

First off, great job on the video. I don't think QotSA official could have done better on the artwork and presentation themselves. I love every QotSA album up to and including this release (fan since Kyuss/QotSA). Era Vulgaris is great, didn't know it wasn't popular among fans. Now Villains.... that album just didn't do it for me. Feels more like Bowie than Homme.
