Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R [Deluxe Edition]
Posted on August 8th, 2010 by jingo
QOTSA’s second full-length, originally released in 2000 and now available in a deluxe reissue, stands as one of the last great modern hard rock records and something deceptively tuneful, groove-bitten, and even melancholic. Rated R is rarely about things, more often about feelings– a chest-beating energy, a confusing head trip, or a dissipating sadness. To celebrate the decade since the band has included the perfunctory bonus disc, with seven B-sides, including a goofy cover of the Kinks’ “Who’ll Be the Next in Line”, an even sillier Carly Simon parody called “You’re So Vague”, and a surprisingly sly take on Romeo Void’s new wave classic, “Never Say Never”. They’ve also tacked on a nine-song live set from the 2000 Reading Festival that features Homme hilariously saying, ”This is a song for you,” to the audience before four consecutive songs. Stoners.

Recalling Junior Boys, Hot Chip, or Cut Copy, this is as satisfying a take on indie-dance as you’ll hear until one of those pacesetters drops a new album. [Brian Howe]
