I Appear Missing is like the greatest song from the 2010s
Walmar neto It's an amazing song and definitely my favorite on this album, but greatest of the 2010s? I don't think so.
As what I heard from the 2010s by far at least :), what else would you put over it?
I think having favorite or best songs is ridiculous because there are just too many
Walmar neto I couldn't name any better tracks, but there are a few just as good. "Celestial Elixir" by Haken and "Grand Parade" by Blind Guardian come to my mind. And although I'm not the biggest fan of their latest efforts, Dream Theaters "Bridges In The Sky" is a fantastic track. Yes, I like long tracks.
My opinion has changed and I Appear Missing has become my favorite song, so i now agree with you original comment guy.
Damn, people used to actually talk about the music in the comments! I feel like I'm revisiting holy ground here...
the new comments are more fun imo
@Conrad Nickelson imo
Hi Jon! Yeah watching some of Fantano’s reviews back, yeah this is weird. I remember these days
@@omerkucuk309 no.
lol
This album is a 10 out of 10 for me.
Agree
Same with Songs for the Deaf. Total 10/10
Agreeeeeee
If I had to give it a Fantano Type Rating
Its a CLASSIC/10 to me
I agree :)
This album has aged so well.
100%
One of the best rock albums in the milenium EZ
How
exactly 10 years later, and it still holds up.
this album aged ...like clockwork
Smooth sailing kicked my ass the first time I heard it, I stuck it on repeat for days
Same
Agree. Didn't agree with Anthony's comment about the riff. Insanely catchy.
Oh shit that's my least favourite lol. Works in context of the record but to me it sounds like what queens sounds to someone who dislikes them. Just corny bluesy butt rock.
They deserved that fuckin grammy
+Mauricio Torres i think that the grammy's only pick the most popular bands for the grammy's and it is bullshit .
+Zeno Nella naw they get it right sometimes especially lately when they chose arcade fire over gag, beck over Beyoncé,daft punk over....somebody I forgot who,
+Mauricio Torres true that
dont trust the grammys man
+Mauricio Torres Wait... Those pricks won over that MASTERPIECE!??? Are you kidding me!?!?
A solid 9. I cannot get tired of this album. When I start it, I almost always listen to it all the way through. I think they should have won best album at the Grammys, but who cares (the Grammys don't mean anything, it just honors the popularity scale of teens and doesn't celebrate true art and craftsmanship). ..Like Clockwork is one of the most creative rock albums in a while, but I have never heard any songs from it on my local rock radio station (I have come to hate mediocre songs that are played constantly on the radio)
Agreed. A really polished record. No one is coming out with material like this.
I remember finding this album because they played I sat by the ocean on the local alt rock station. So glad I did. Still love this record.
It’s a 10

There was a week when this was the only thing I listened to.
There was half a year when this was the only thing I listened to. Favourite album of all time no questions asked.
+Bolensgoldrush damn
How good!
I still do
listened to this one near constantly for a couple months after it came out, then got reeeeeally heavily back into it earlier this year for a few weeks. god this record is so good
This was the album that introduced me to QOTSA and I think I couldn't have gotten a better start. Two of my friends were constantly talking about the album when it came out and they were actually going on my nerves a little, so I decided to check them out if only to shut them up. Now I totally get their enthusiuasm with the band, this record and Songs For The Deaf quickly have made it to my favourites and the rest of their albums, especialy Rated R, are really strong as well.
R0DisG0D same here man! Got into them with this and then went back and discovered some really great albums. All their albums have that distinct sound but they all bring something different to the table. Era Vulgaris is for when I wanna get fucking weird haha
This was the album that introduced me to my music taste. First album I fell in love with
Go back and listen to Kyuss now. Kyuss are leagues ahead of QOTSA. Prepare yourself for your new favorite band.
Very cool to find an „Ärzte“ fan in here . (Judging from your Profile Pic :D)

Joey Duran lullabies to paralyse and era vulgaris should be last I will admit I didn’t like Villains at first but now I think about it it’s pretty much the same QOTSA as they where before but expressed a different way and it’s cool to hear the band actually doing the songs on a whole album without the millions of guest appearances they’ve had on their stuff since the start

I dont know why people shit on Era Vulgaris so much. I love it.
+Kevin Spicer its my favourite queens album lol
It's because it sounds horrible and the songs are gash.
20thCenturyPox Misfit Love, Suture Up Your Future, Turnin on the Screw, 3s and 7s, River and the Road, and I'm Designer are all fantastic.
Kevin Spicer it's not a bad album, it's just bad by qotsa standards.
It's not bad to me, but it's my least favorite.
From the comments I've seen, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about Kalopsia, it's my favourite track on the album. The beginning with just the piano and simple melody, with josh's singing, and then the transition into electric guitar conveys so much emotion. Also, the lyrics have such an interesting meaning, I love this track so much !
Its my favourite track on the album too.
Its such a good song. It feels like the verses convey the idea of a peaceful 'Kalopsia' state, then the heavy hitting and loud choruses crash you back to reality, especially at the end when the song goes off the rail a bit.
it's my favourite song ever
@@steverainingagain7956,😊😊😊😊
Two years later and still my favorite rock album of all time. Josh is life, QOTSA is hometown.
+UncleJason4 yes and every other album ever made
2019, still my favourite
QOTSA and Radiohead are my drugs.
Keep Your Eyes Peeled is one of my favorite QOTSA songs. It’s such a villainous opener
The bass is just so deep and threatening growling almost. It tells you immediately what the vibe of this album is
Best album of 2013,
Love every single track on this album.
9.1
A lot of people don't like Lullabies to Paralyze? Someone's In The Wolf, Broken Box, Tangled Up In Plaid, Medication, holy shit this album was my favorite one!!
agreed man i loved lullabies. i loved burn the witch! you didn't like that song?
Kyle Alfonso Mannnnn I loved that album front to back. I love every Queens album front to back, they're my favorite band on the planet. On one of the several occasions that I've seen them live, Josh Homme played Tangled Up In Plaid and gave a speech before it about how he doesn't give a fuck if it's under appreciated/recognized because it's one of his favorite songs he's ever written.
Lullabies is easily one of their best.
***** songs for the deaf is probably one of my least favorite albums right next to their debut although I thoroughly enjoyed both it's probably:
1. Lullabies to Paralyze
2. Rated R
3. Era Vulgaris
4. ...Like Clockwork
5. Songs for the Deaf
6 Queens of the Stone age
***** Dude it really is a masterpiece. It took me a year to fully grasp it. My list changes every year too but Lullabies is always top ever since I was 11 haha
smooth sailing is the crunchiest song of all..don'y know why its not your fav, dawg.
I disagree I love the track Smooth Sailing it was one of my favorites on the entire LP
2021 and this album fucking bangs. It's like a fine wine, it gets better with age. This is my favorite album all time, period. This shit is like the depiction of my whole life as I grow older and experience a lot of life's tragedies.
Couldn't have said it better.
Right. Been having an awful week and I came back to this album and it just hit me in a different way. Actually had tears in my eyes.
Calling all comas. Prisoner on the loose; description: The spitting image of me except for a heart-shaped hole where all the hope runs out.
Greatest lyric of all time. Ever.
"LEAST FAV TRACK: KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED"
Really? Interesting... Keep Your Eyes Peeled was probably my favourite track. To each his own, I guess!
mine too. I'm a bit baffled over that one
Fantano is kinda dumb sometimes... i think he doesnt pay much attention, just listen 1 million albuns a day and then say shit about it
Smooth Sailing not in best songs? BLASPHEMY!
I blow my LOAD all over the status quo, here we go...
TheRandomhobo123 classiest song ever written.
This is Queens' best album since Songs For The Deaf, and hearing most of the songs live cement that statement.
Its halfway into 2016 and I'm still pissed that they didn't win that grammy, I mean come the fuck on, the Imagine Dragons album had like only one kinda okayish song -_- This album honestly is one of my favorite albums period. Not because it sounds the greatest (its really fucking good though, not trying to bring it down by any means) but because as I get older and experience more things and go through lessons of life, I start to understand the picture of ...like clockwork better. The vocals were fantastic-stellar, the guitar riffs had me in awe of how people could even make that sound with guitars, and the bass was on point. Imagine Dragons just sound like a shitty kinda pop-wannabee alternative rock group
people should know by know that the Grammys are shit they even interrupted their performance with dave grohl and trent reznor because they had to air some fucking commercials. the grammys are a complete and utter joke
Grammy's are powered by money, not music. Josh has repeatedly verbalised that he only writes songs and plays because he loves it, not cause of the money, so I think he's not too bummed about it.
@@Bolensgoldrush You think people pay for grammys? lmfao. No it works like this. Thousands of older established people in the industry vote across genres, and most of the voters haven’t heard 99% of the nominations, favoring older famous names, white skin nominees, and males. The most predictable way to win is an artist dying.
The refined simplicity on this record is remarkable. Great tones, tight, tight record. I can see how there are those that won't enjoy it but, I know where Josh is coming from on this album 100%. Might be his finest work. I give it a 10. There's nothing I could find wrong in it.
I personally couldn't get into this album at first because of Homme's voice; I don't know why but something about it just irked me on My God Is The Sun. But now I love the hell out of it, easily one of my favorites in the style it plays in and one of my favorites of 2013. Don't know how I didn't like it before.
It's 2017 and ...like clockwork is still my personal alternative rock (with Blackstar and A moon shaped moon) album of this decade ;)
6y later I ask "A moon shaped moon????"
fairweather friends into smooth sailing had my jaw on the floor. so much tear-jerkingly kickass snarky aggression. absolutely incredible.
I personally found Keep Your Eyes Peeled to be one of the best songs on the album :c
This has quickly moved into one of my favorite records. The lyricism is fantastic, from each song to the extended metaphors throughout the album, and the instrumentation is both dreary and just simply badass. It's always a great listen.
Especially the "ichy getchy oola la.. do run run you won't get far."
Still my favorite album in 2015.
Still one of my favourites in 2016 lol
+shank k still one of my favorite albums in 2017
+dGladiator still mah favorite album in 3030
have you heard that their is going to be another queens of the stone age album
have you queens of the stone age that their is going to be another heard album?

4:26 - ...Like Clockwork
Use it
I didn't like this album when it came out, but its one of my favorites now... so strange how that works
It seems like he avoids picking the most popular songs for his favorites.
Not all the time, there's albums where he only likes the singles or most popular song
But I Sat by the Ocean and My God is the Sun are two of the album's singles?
As I get older the more and more I love this album and truly understand it
Surprised to not see any mention of Kalopsia, probably a top 5 song of all time for me. Such a beautiful song, great lyricism, amazing variation in tone, so so good
The bridge to that song is literal euphoria
Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork ALBUM REVIEW
Hi Anthony have you done any review of any Kyuss album ? I recommend you to review the second one : Blues For The Red Sun.
He would not have a clue what that or 'Wretch' / 'Circus Leaves Town' really are.....he looked them up on Wikipedia before this Uncritical , Un-jounalistic & wrought with idiotic euphemisms non-review.......Dude , Jeffman you rule
Who - What When - Where am I ? - Any evidence whatsoever? Everyone else would disagree. This man has heard his shit, doubt you watched very many of his videos.
thanks for the link anthony, couldn't find the video without your help
1. Songs for the Deaf
2. Rated R
3. ...Like Clockwork
4. S/T
5. Lullabies to Paralyze
6. Era Vulgaris
But to be honest I love them all. I respect the hell out of Josh for legitimately treating each album like a different project, always changing his sound while still sticking to the core themes of every QotSA record.
k shaw AGREED
k shaw Yeah Like Clockwork second favorite qotsa record
jmd620 100% agree although I never listen to to the last 3 because they are so bad
Kek5kopF S/T is only going to appeal to you if you liked Kyuss tbh. (I loved them, for the record.) LtP is actually really underrated to me, but it's definitely a different, more acquired taste I guess. But yeah, the top 3 are the top 3.
***** Then I recommend to delve into the Kyuss discography. They have really made some amazing stuff. It's heavier than Queens though, so you'd have to be into that.
My favorite song was Kalopsia
Favorite song of all time. I can't believe the melon didn't even mention it once in this review.
The more you listen to this fucking thing the more I love it
Greatest rock record of the last 2 decades in my opinion.
Dave grohl actually didnt drum on vampyre of time and memories
michael masters That was Joey ♥
michael masters yeah it didnt feel like him
It's really clear who played the drums on each song, as Joey and Grohl had their own style of playing.
This album was truly a miracle. Being the sixth on qotsa discography and released in the 2010's it's just as good as any classic rock album from the 70's. A modern classic.
Rated R is a dope album
When this album came out, I've heard it entirely everyday for a month.
The animatic music video covering half of this album or so, it really changed my life. I was in a pretty bleak, dreary, depressing rut in my life in a job that I felt was stealing my soul, my days and nights, and my memories from me. And somehow, as a lifelong QotSA fan, I had missed anything recent by them for years when I stumbled onto this album via that concise, very designed experience through that 'one' longer, collective track composed of most of the best picks from the album. And as it turns out, I was actually starting to grow my own Vampyre of Time and Memory, in my eventual MS diagnosis this year (as well as Queens releasing a new LP) a track that even back then FELT like it had special meaning to me, but with a connection it would take years for life to actually prove to me.
I'm not quite sure where this one falls, for me; even leaving aside my personal experience and biases, and even counting my massively wide range of musical preferences, ... Like Clockwork could very well be my favorite album. It is very hard for me to put concrete numbers or placements on things, but there's not going to be too many albums jockeying for that position even through my indecisiveness, and the fact that it would easily always make that cut to me says enough.
It's the best rock album of the 2010's in my opinion
I actually think my god is the sun is maybe the weakest link in this record, so yeah a very strong record indeed. I love it more and more each year.
Yep I agree. Weird that it was the only track I liked on 1st listen. Now it's my least favourite. I usually skip it unless I'm playing the vinyl.
My god, the production on this album is amazingly good. Great writing, also.
"I Sat By The Ocean" is the best song the Cars never recorded.
At about 3:10 he says that I Sat by the Ocean has a riff pattern that sounds familiar to him for some reason. It's from Coffee and Cigarettes by Blur.
WHOOPS! Its "Coffee and TV". I'm quitting smoking, sue me.
Alberto Gaxiola Also, fuck the haters, AM owns, and ...Like Clockwork is my favorite album of all time. Not something I expected to encounter when I'm at the doorstep of 30.
Alberto Gaxiola you are so right!!! but i love the album anyway...
You've mixed it up with cigarettes and alcohol by oasis !
Man I totally agreed with that whole 'I Appear Missing' segment. Easily one of the best songs they have ever done. Definitely one of the best on this album, or at least the most surprisingly brilliant
My opinion is that this is one of the best records Qosta have released, but I love all their albums. Josh has been through a traumatic period in his life and his songwriting has matured, Qosta's music has transcended beyond just creating great, hard hitting riffs in C standard tuning, to incorporate a more mature songwriting element, have you heard the lyrics on this album, they're acerbic, eloquent and charismatic!
My favorite rock album of the 2010’s . By far is the most ambitious sound that I’ve heard in years in rock music.
I just got into this band and this is definitely my favorite thing they've done.
And of course because it's a requirement, an ordered list.
1. ...Like Clockwork
2. Rated R
3. Era Vulgaris
4. Songs for the Deaf
5. Lullabies To Paralyze
6. QOTSA

5. Qotsa

7. Villsins
@@aquid3622I'd just switch 4 and 5 for emotional reasons but I think you're basically exactly right there buddy.
Like Clockwork is the new Led Zeppelin IV, Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Pepper. You can't change my mind.
Spottony Ontano
I sadly just listened to this album for the 1st time,great album. Where my opinion differs is the standout song of the album is ‘Keep Your Eyes Peeled.’ That song is the is intoxicating!
You're very articulate. Where did you study? Anyway, the '4th LP' (LTP), I agree, 'didn't hit as perfectly', that is, in terms of fan acceptance (including Oliveri as a fan), but oh boy it is their studio masterpiece! It is their statement of what the fine art of recording is all about: quality, depth, nuance, 'shadows on the track', detail... SFTD was about that too, but LTP was such a smooth follow-up. Well, I just love it. Keep it up man!
The line up of the band in this album is sooo great, and I Appear Missing has one of the best bass lines I've ever heard in my life
Era Vulgaris gave us some incredible songs; Run, Pig, Run and River in the Road are still two of my favourite QOTSA songs. Plus, I'm designer gave us one of the greatest feats of lyrical complexity of all time - "It's just like diamonds!... In shit...".
Pure genius.
I find it kind of ironic in a way that the old game guitar hero actually is what introduced me to a if variety of bands, many of which have become some of my favorites. Anyways tho glad to see that QOTSA album has reviewed such a great response! I have to admit I was really hesitant on buying the album when I first found it was going to be more of a compilation album than what I had been used to with their previous recordings, but once I heard, I appear missing, and a few samples such as Keep your eyes peeled and Kolopsia I fell in love again and can't wait to hear more great stuff from them in the future!
I just started listening to this album the other day, i'm obsessed now
He hit the nail on the head with the title track. It’s so fantastic and sad and that instrumental midsection is a journey. It shows how far they’ve come.
First album I picked up without knowing anything about the band.
Hope I like it

I am a huge QOTSA fan, and I thought that ...Like Clockwork is their best album hands down.
The only issue I had with the album., oddly enough, was Fairweather Friends. It kind of faltered compared to the rest of the album, in my opinion. Despite the huge "cast" of the song... It was just.. Kind of... Meh. It was boring and I felt that all of the vocals blended in TOO much. Where did Josh begin and Elton end?
But everything else on this album was fantastic. I completely agree with your soft 9.
And yes, I dug through all of your reviews just to find this since I discovered you.
-JD
It just felt a bit out of place to me from everything else musically. I'm not saying it's a bad song at all. Just personally, it was a touch out of place from everything else on that record.
I agree... Fairweather Friends is still a great song, but in my opinion the worst of the album... Piano track by Elton John is the best thing, but the melody of the vocals is just as you say: "meh"
I realize this is two years after you left the comment, but that's the point. I felt the same when I first heard the song, but now, nearly four years after release, I think it's one of the best on the album. It was such a slow burner for me, but I've realized it's just so quintessentially Queens. Definitely some of the best guitar work on the album, and hearing Elton John go ham on the keyboard is amazing. Fairweather Friends is nothing short of legendary.
3rdObstacle to be honest, I love that song, it might be my favorite qotsa song to date
Agree, I know I'm late but when U will get stabbed and lose 'fake friends' you will realise how true Josh is in that song. I cannot help myself but sing this song everytime it plays. I'm at the point where I feel I could literally make a youtube cover out of the fucking song ... It's just so fucking ... genius ..
No one talks about how brilliant the vampire theme is throughout the whole album. By far the best themed album all time and in my top ten.
as long as Troy Van Leeuwen is in the band, every song is technically vampiric themed
an unbelievably great album
Took me a while to actually get into this album. When I first picked it up, I was actually expecting something as heavy and fast as Songs for the Deaf. How wrong I was,.I initially was disappointed at how soft this record was compared to Songs for the Deaf. But after a little while, I actually took a listen and I really dig this album, especially I Sat by The Ocean and My God is the Sun.
i appear missing is beautiful, just makes me feel things
The fact that his least favorite is "keep your eye's peeled" is crazy. I love that song. Just goes to show how this album is 10/10.
gonna say it again...this is their darkest album by FAR...but thier best....i think the rating is fair enough...
+Jack Von Cider -- hey and what's up fellow music enthusiast. This is said with a plain / calm tone of voice. I have tried to understand what the heck this ignoramous is trying to say , by sitting through a bunch of his programs and.....ALL of this HumanSpam Fucktards reviews are 'fair enough'.......that's why none of the Damageplan show attending Homicidal Maniacs have not shot him in the face. Fair Enough does not coincide with: accurate, concise or relevant / valuable criticism........He is at best a hack at being a hack..........and yes this album probably is not going to eclipse the first 3........A. Fantano does not get the depth of music ; why do think he decided to be an internet critic (just sayin'). He does not innately get the depth of love and pain that goes into the process of being an artist. He does not grasp a body of work and that this catalog / cannon of music that is QUEENS OF THA MUTHATRUKIN' STONE AGE is and will always be F-ING relevant music , that goes down into the annuls of musicology without him............
10 years later this review still holds up. And now I'm older to know who Bowie was and is. I was too young and ignorant. I always discovered music on my own and nobody ever showed me anything really. I'd just pick albums from the library in France when I moved there. When I left France I remember downloading albums and Queens was a band I came across in games like Need for Speed and Gran Turismo. I had to Google them and became obsessed. Now it's time to obsess with Bowie and his music. I know. I'm extremely late.
As far as this decade is concerned- I think this album is the gold standard for "rock albums". Meaning- this is a beginning to end complete work. There is no filler- it's all good. It's something that isn't being done anymore like it was in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. I'm not saying it's a concept album or anything- it's just one of those albums that you start at the beginning and many times you end up listening to the whole thing in one sitting. In my opinion, QOTSA has done this twice- Songs for the Deaf, which was more conceptual, was the other one. However, every single album this band has ever made always has a distinct vibe that goes along with it. And while QOTSA certainly has developed a trademark sound- nobody could ever accuse them of doing the same thing over and over. And of all the work they have done- this one just seems different from the rest. A great album that makes me look forward to another great one in the future.
I just wish josh went straight to another qotsa album, I cant really wait for another one
The solo to If I Had A Tail sounds a lot similar to the solo from Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones. Always thought that was really cool.
I Sat By The Ocean is a goddamn masterpiece
The warm reception of this album and its place in the current landscape reminds me alot of Soundgarden in the 90s. Their albums Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, like this album, were commercially accessible and not really doing anything new musically, but were still loved for the great songwriting and production.
loved this entire album. i always liked QOTSA but this album really showed me a new side to them and made me appreciate them more. i think the only track i didnt like on this album was Kalopsia, whereas my favorite track would be I Appear Missing.
I honestly like kalopsia, my least favorite is Fairweather friends and I agree I appear missing is also my favorite, especially live
i never saw them perform live (yet) but iv seen videos of them perform I Appear Missing and my mind was blown
The Vampyre of Time and Memory invokes my appreciation for Pink Floyd.
Best Qotsa Albums
1. Songs for the Deaf
2. Self-titled
3. Rated R
4. ...Like Clockwork
5. Era Vulgaris
6. Lullabies to Paralyze
hahaha anthony, thank you for the light 9! i told my boss that im gonna give this album 5 out of 5 and he said no one gave this high score to this album and its not that good as i think. but it is, it's totally different than the previous qotsa records and i freaking love this dark atmosphere and slower, moodier songs. so thumbs up, great review!
I liked all the songs, including Keep you eyes peeled. I would personally give the album 10/10.
But hey, opinions are legal ;) we'll have to agree to disagree!
;D
(Oh, nice video btw)
one of the greatest albums of all time
This the best rock album of the 2010's, don't @ me.
Loved this review Anthony. Like the album itself, your review is passionate and involved and determined to express as much as possible about the subject. I don't watch all your reviews, but of the ones I have watched, this is definitely one of the best.
It's a perfect album. Perfect track order, great songs/lyrics, amazing sounds.
Dave Grohl isn't drumming on The Vampyre of Time and Memory. Castillo AND Homme is.
DG played on If I Had a Tail, My God is the Sun, Fairweather Friends, Smooth Sailing & I Appear Missing.
This album changed me
Same. This album was the soundtrack to my divorce, and subsequent ego death.
he’s not gassing up i appear missing nearly enough...
My God is the Sun is by far the most underrated track on this album.
Fairweather Friends or Kalopsia is.
Kalopsia
I don’t know how it was underrated cause it was on of the 3 songs off this album I would hear on the radio
For me there the only rock band that does some interesting things with the genre. They actually mess around with the textural sounds. They got good Melodie’s and they work together to create an interesting sound.
keep your eyes peeled is my fav song :(
I don't WANT to listen to what reviewers on UA-cam think about anything, because it's so much more enjoyable to listen to and experience things for mysel, however I enjoy the presentation and seem to share most of the same opinions as you. It's refreshing to agree with someone on music.
COUGH In My Head, Everybody Knows That You're Insane..
Oh hell, the whole album is great. And is sadly overshadowed by Songs for the Deaf.
I've loved QUOTSA throughout the band's career. And I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what else they put out now. This is their magnum opus.
