That song is fantastic and the artwork is really, really cool. I'm massively hyped for this album, I think QotSA are the best currently touring band in the world and yes I'm aware of the risk of hyperbole.

Why does everyone love to instantly exclaim that the latest release of anything is always the "Best one yet!" ?
I haven't digested the album yet - there are some songs that I absolutely love though. I think it took me a few weeks to fully digest Era Vulgaris (which was also exclaimed as their best album ever) and appreciate the awesome music therein. Clockwork is similar, it is in the new line-blurring direction of the band and pretty far from their hard-rocking roots - I'll need some time to crystallize my thoughts but there are some really great songs for sure.

Wow, pretty excited at how much you guys are liking it. I can't imagine it can top Lullabies though.

Really? I always hear the opposite..."meh not as good as the old stuff"
See, Muse.

Yeah I tend to hear this more too.
Picked it up today, great release. We got the new Queens, Megadeth, and Alice In Chains all on the same day, with Black Sabbath coming next week, and the new NIN single coming out in two days. What a week!

Poked the bear!!!!!
I wasn't really into it the first time I heard it. The first 3 songs are really meh, but it gets progressively better from there (except that last one, still not sure how I feel about it).
I listened to it again and liked it more the second time. It may grow on me some more but so far I think it's their weakest...maybe slightly ahead of Era Vulgaris, not sure yet. It's still a pretty good album, but not as great as Queens can be. I don't think they'll ever touch the perfection they hit on their first 3 albums.

QOTSA have been one of my favourite bands since their first album came out, but I really wasn't sure what to expect from this album at all.
After a few listens, I honestly think it might be the best record they've ever done. It's as focused, consistent, atmospheric and experimental as any of their previous albums, but even more engaging and interesting to listen to.

I was there
Won tickets, booked a 24hour day of insanity in NYC. Good times.
Rated R is indisputable GOAT as far as I'm concerned. But I think Clockwork more novel-like than their original hard-rocking attitude, the entire album is conceptual to a degree. Hard to compare to Rated R or Lullabies or Songs.
