Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Their name gives it away. Josh Homme's Queens Of The Stone Age are in love with the primordial rock of "Iron Man"-era Black Sabbath and Funhouse-Stooges. Their debut, self-financed, self-titled album was rock stripped back to the bone. As one would expect from a band formed out of various ex- Screaming Trees, Dwarves and Kyuss members, it was an exhilarating exercise in economy, heaviness and repetition... with a little psychedelia thrown in. Rated R is even better. From the brittle catchiness of "Auto Pilot" to Mark Lanegan's guest vocals on the swirling "In The Fade" and the presciently titled "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer", this album doesn't mess around. The rhythms are fluid, the guitars tight and magical. You can hear echoes of the desert's howling winds in "Auto Pilot", the claustrophobic strain of LA in "Lightning Song". Is this the rock album of 2000? Very possibly. --Everett True

CD Description
Second album from former Kyuss band members Queens Of The Stone Age. 'Rated R' is more diverse than their debut self- titled LP which was released in 1998. Expanding on their musical influences, fusing stoner rock, psychedelic, punk and rock 'n' roll. Features former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan and Rob Halford on backing vocals. Includes the drug anthem 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer' and their top twenty single 'Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant., 6 Jun 2004
After hearing the amazing Songs For the Deaf, I was instantly hooked on the Queens, so Rated R was a must-have purchase. When you first hear the first track, Feel Good Hit Of The Summer, You think "is that really it?" but by the end of another listen, you're addicted (not literally) and will go around humming the simple yet effective tune for ages. The next two tracks, The Lost Art... and Leg of Lamb are more melodic, and are probably two of the best songs on the album. My other particular favourite song is Monsters in the Parasol, Which has an awesome tune. The rest of the songs are good too, with classy riffage, super-fine drumming and awesome Bass Guitar. There is a dizzy instrumental at the end, which really finishes the album off in style.
The Bonus Disc is alright too, having Feel Good Hit...(again) and three other songs, which are catchy. Especially Never say Never.
Songs For The Deaf lovers will be a little disappointed with this outing, but only because Songs for the Deaf was such an outstanding Album.
An essential purchase for QOTSA fans and Rock Music fans in general, This album is a modern classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album since Nirvana's ''nevermind'' legendary album, 8 Mar 2001
Queens of the stonage are not unfimiliar to the alternative rock scene with other great albums under theyre belt such as ''Queens of the stone age'' album (self titled) with great songs such as ''if only'' and ''regular john''.Enough about the past anyway this new album has adapted to a more powerful rock sound and has is easily the best rock album of this year and is worthy of your hard earned dosh with such hits as ''lost art of keeping a secret'' and ''feel good hit of the summer''both featured videos on mtv.If your into Nirvana and your looking for the next best thing this band does more than fill the shoes of kurt cobain with josh's amazing ability to create a unique rock sound combining his unusual voice with power chords and blistering solo's.This is a masterpeice and any rock fan would be stupid not to buy this you will still be listening to the catchy melodies and lyrics in 10 years time also these are very good live and are worth seeing as long they dont get busted for playing nude again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy major-label debut for stoner rock kings., 28 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: r (Audio CD)
c-c-c-c-c-cocaine! by the time you hear this, "the feelgood hit of the summer" will be well and truly camped out in your subconscious. A glorious start to a fantastic CD sees a shopping list of narcotics recited like a gregorian chant and it is quickly followed by an equally good tune - "the lost art of keeping a secret." this sounds so good right now it's hard to turn it off - even to go to the pub, but it keeps getting better. Tune after tune flows in with waves of rhythmic beauty just a sublime album. I think to appreciate it fully you have to be getting stoned as the last track descends into experimental horn solos and bizarre pieces of music, but this aside this has to be an essential purchase for the year. If you are stuck between this and "Issues" for instance, there is no contest. Superb.
