Claude says:Queens of the Stone Age's 2013 return after a five-year silence felt like a recalibration—less desert groove hammer, more measured introspection wrapped in that signature molten guitar tone. You found your anchor in "I Sat by the Ocean," a track that lands somewhere between meditation and dread, returning to it four times while the rest of the album stayed more distant, which probably says something about how you needed the song more than the record itself.
