Josh Homme's creation Queens Of The Stone Age, although they remain close to their rock roots, are a complex amalgam of atmosphere and textures. RATED R is a retro-sounding album, recorded on two 16-track machines by producer Chris Goss (Masters Of Reality) and GRAMMY award winning engineer Trinia Shoemaker.
The band's name pokes fun at the homophobic rednecks that Homme says used to attend Kyuss (his former band) shows. Some of the album's highlights are "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret," "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" and "Better Living Through Chemistry." Former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan has some sublime moments on a few tracks, including "In the Fade." RATED R is a unique, eclectic album.

Producer: Chris Goss; Joshua Homme

Engineer: Martin Schmelzle; Trina Shoemaker; Bradley Cook

Artist Overview
In the second half of the 1990s, there was no shortage of bands eager to resurrect the heavy-rock musical values of the '70s. Unlike many of these, whose methods were either slavishly derivative or too post-modern/jokey, the Queens of the Stone Age managed to successfully update old-school riff-rock without resorting to either method. Guitarist/mastermind Josh Homme has been aided throughout the band's discography by everyone from Rob Halford to members of the Screaming Trees.

Rolling Stone (6/22/00, pp.127-8)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A strange, category-evading rock record, a mystery disc of gravity and low humor, of punk aggression and love-bead contentment....improving on the strengths of [their] first album and shooting into areas that you wouldn't expect..."

Spin (1/01, p.73)
- Ranked #8 in Spin's "Top 20 Albums of the Year [2000]" - "...Mysteriously beautiful, smartly stoopid psychedelic jams, complete with jet planes and monsters..."

CMJ (5/29/00, p.3)

Melody Maker (6/27/00, p.75)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...No mess. No fuss. Just 12 songs of good, solid rock. Rock with all the [b.s.] stripped away....100 per cent unapologetic metal..."

Kerrang (Magazine)
(p.52)
- "[A]n 11-step guide to hedonistic heaven..."

Mojo (Publisher)
(p.61)

NME (Magazine)
(6/3/00, p.40)
