It’s ironic that Queens of the Stone Age opted to name their newest …Like Clockwork, given the six years between albums and the comparatively prog-y leanings found herein. QOTSA have eschewed the bottled heat of tracks like “No One Knows” for a more composed release that relies more on the strength of its constituent guest stars, including Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor and Sir Elton John, than on any one particular theme.
