    Yes!! Exactly this one for me too. I love Clockwork so much, this was weird.

      So glad to not be alone on this. It felt unfocused. I think working with Mark Ronson gave Homme a bit too much leeway to make an album that tried to hard to be cool.

      It somehow went over the ironic/unironic line that Queens has always danced around.

      Like Clockwork has moments that veered towards camp and cheese but never felt insincere or cloying.
