Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing with 12" x 24" insert. Includes bonus track and original blue album artwork. Rated R is the second studio album by Queens of the Stone Age, originally released on June 6, 2000 by Interscope Records. It was the band's first album for the label, as well as their first to feature bassist Nick Oliveri and vocalist Mark Lanegan. Rated R was a critical and commercial success and became the band's breakthrough album, peaking at #54 in the UK and eventually being certified gold by the BPI.
Queens of the Stone Age’s 2000 breakthrough Rated R is desert rock at its weirdest and most addictive-a hazy mix of crushing riffs, psychedelic detours, sleazy grooves, and hooks that sneak up on you. Josh Homme and company move effortlessly from the hypnotic stomp of “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret” to the manic chaos of “Quick and to the Pointless” and the beautifully heavy “In the Fade,” featuring Mark Lanegan on vocals.
Dark, funny, unpredictable, and just the right amount of dangerous, Rated R sounds like a late-night drive through the desert with no particular destination and several questionable decisions along the way.
