Editorial Review:
Exclusive UK version of their 2000 album includes a bonus disc featuring 4 tracks, 'Never Say Never', 'You're So Vague', 'Who'll Be The Next In Line' and the controversial cd-rom video for the track 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer' that's been banned. Slimline double jewel case. 2000 release.
Description of Rated R:
Call it "stoner rock" if you must, but the sophomore release from the Queens of the Stone Age moves mosh music into a woozier realm. Which isn't to say it isn't plenty crunchy, but former Kyuss kingpin Josh Homme and company (including guests Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees) create an intoxicating brew by mixing metal, alt, and garage-rock elements together and making it smoke! --Steven Stolder
Rated R Reviews:
In like a lion, out like a lamb (kind of) 
2008-04-10 - 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.
Nothing close to Songs for the Deaf 
2007-12-31 - 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.
You can count on this band
2007-08-27 - If you like the Queens of the Stoneage you owe it to yourself to buy this record.You will not be disappointed
2nd best Queens of the Stone Age album 
2007-06-27 - 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.
QoTSA's best
2007-06-01 - 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.
