QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE – Muscular Rockers Released Breakthrough Album ‘RATED R’ 20 Years Ago Today

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

Macho stone rockers QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE (Palm Desert, CA) fronted by general Josh Homme released their critically acclaimed 2nd LP RATED R this day 25 years ago, on 6 June 2000.

It was the first one with former Kyuss (co-founded by Homme) bassist Nick Oliveri  (who was fired in 2004 following aggressive behaviour towards fans and his then-girlfriend) and the late great vocalist Mark Lanegan (1964-2022).

AllMusic wrote: “Longtime Kyuss fans might be disappointed at the relative lack of heaviness, but R’s direction was hinted at on the first QOTSA album, and Homme‘s experimentation really opens up the band’s sound, pointing to exciting new directions for heavy guitar rock in the new millennium.” – Score: 5/5
