Jul 14, 2023Best album right up there with Songs for the Deaf!!! I look at Queens of the Stone Age in two different time periods. There first two albums built up to Songs for the Deaf and then the next two albums built up to like Clockwork.
-
Jul 23, 2022Great overall. I Appear Missing, Smooth Sailing and I Sat by the Ocean are all masterpieces.
Like Clockwork is a pearl of modern rock. -
Feb 24, 2022Their best since Songs For the Deaf. It's on par with SFTD and Rated R in my eyes.

Dec 27, 2018Like Clockwork es un album muy integral, oscuro y pesado, destaca en todas las dimensiones, sonido, lirica, tempos, es uno de los mejores de la decada del rock de los 2000, sin duda un disco que hay que considerar si te gusta el rock

Jul 12, 2018The most melodic band's album. Brings again a killer cast to play with Homme (Old band members,to be exact). Songs are memorable and has something epic in it.

Sep 13, 2017Five stars because it's about half good; the other half — piano balladry and pseudo-important, overblown mega-compositions — feel like they are trying to be big statements. They are not. Josh Homme and QOTSA will always be best when they truly go with the flow instead of targeting a feel ... a tactic that really let them down on "Villains."
-
Apr 26, 2017After a long hiatus, QOTSA returned... ambitious as ever. ...Like Clockwork is a bit different than the QOTSA we were used to, but this album gets better by each go and in my opinion goes head to head with their every other album except Songs For the Deaf.

Aug 11, 2015In my opinion this is their best album (just ahead of Rated R). I don't see how people didn't like this theres so many catchy riffs, great vocals, amazing features, etc. I think they're gonna find it difficult to follow this up.

Aug 5, 2014Once again the Queens of the Stone age deliver another good album and continue to impress. Several guest musicians are featured in ....Like Clockwork but nothing sounds recycled. Just an overall good album.
-
Jun 20, 2014Perfect from start to finish. In my opinion the very best of 2013. "Fairweather Friends", "I Appear Missing", and "Like Clockwork" are all tracks that will be memorable for a long time. This could go down as a modern classic

Apr 16, 2014This is indeed what we can call a bold album. There's character and tenderness in it. A master piece that mixes brilliant song writing, production and incredible musicianship.

Jan 8, 2014Great rock music. I haven't listened to any of their albums before this. I'm an idiot, i know. I'm looking forward to rectify that mistake. I do hope their older work has the same blend of loud and calm.

Dec 17, 2013Overcooked production kills what could have been a good album, almost unbeareable to listen to more than a couple songs at once. Whats the point of printing vinyls again whith this kind of mastering?

Classic Rock MagazineJul 23, 2013Their rejuvenating effects make this the most rounded and melodic QOTSA album in a decade, a triumph snatched from the mortuary doors. [Summer 2013, p.88]

Jul 23, 2013It’s the kind of album we critics tritely refer to as a return to form but with the massively remarkable beast that ...Like Clockwork royally is, never has the phrase been more fitting.

MagnetJul 17, 2013Queens Of The Stone Age lumbers its way through a series of increasingly skronky, sludge-by-numbers jams and sound. [No. 100, p.57]
