Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R

In like a lion, out like a lamb (kind of)

This disc opens with the monster, "Feel Good Hit of the Summer", and keeps youy guessing all the way through. My favorite is "Into the Fade", with vocals courtesy of rock god Mark Lanegan. The only filler is the Oliveri tune "Quick and to the Pointless", but at least he makes it up with "Autopilot". Not my favorite QOTSA disc, but also necessary. April 10, 2008

Nothing close to Songs for the Deaf

I bought this album after purchasing Songs for the Deaf because i could not stop listening to it. Months afterward the songs were still as incredible as the first time i listened. I got Rated R after reading the good reviews about it. Maybe its the lack of Dave Grohl, or just not being my type of music, because this hardly seems like the same band. Apart from Better Living Through Chemistry, i struggled to find a track that compared to Songs for the Deaf. Maybe it's more apt for a different genre but whatever it is, don't purchase it based on how much you enjoyed Songs for the Deaf. December 31, 2007

2nd best Queens of the Stone Age album

Songs for the Deaf is their best work, but this album is a very close second and better rounded than any of their other albums. A must for any fan. June 27, 2007

QoTSA's best

In my opinion this record is the most raw and creative of all the QoTSA's records. The addition of Mark Lanegans vocals rounded off this record. I'd say if you like unique music, and hard rock. You should own this record. June 1, 2007
