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… More >>

I was soooooooo disappointed by this album. I love Josh a lot! But this record pisses me off. Kyuss was a king band. QOTSA first record was phenomenal. This, in one word, [bad]. you know how Nirvana was great and then Foo Fighters came out and you put the record on and you looked at the cover four times because you couldn’t believe it was the same people? Because they sold out to pop? Because they started making sissy rock your mother would like? Sissy Sissy Sissy stuff and I’m [mad]!
Josh, come on, cut down on the pot and sniff some cocaine, man like we did in Chicago at the Double Door!

I bought this album expecting some quality tunes but was unfortunatly let down. I heard the song ‘Feel Good Hit of the Summer’ and thought that it had some quality to it. When I listened to the album in it’s entirety it just kinda bored me and left me wanting more. I hope future stoner-rock bands don’t follow in the Queens of the Stone Age’s footsteps cause if they do there’s gonna be a dark dark future…

This cd is bad folks. It has two bright spots, both are songs that have Mark Lanegan on vocals. Another song he sings on, not even he could save. I really enjoy the song Into the FADE, but as for the rest of the cd, the only cd I have bought that I liked less was MONSTER by REM. The only thing that made that worse, was the band is so good, that the expectations were higher for REM. Queens of the Stone Age have recruited Mark Lanegan as a contributing force, and I will buy the cd to hear his voice, but as big of a fan as I am, if it’s as bad as RATED R, I will be back here and trying to keep you from buying it too! Buy his solo cds, and his CDs with Screaming Trees, but stay away from Rated R. Into the Fade is not worth the 12 dollars the cd will cost you. As always, be well people, and listen to music that fills your soul, not this which fills your toilet!

The best song on this album is “Better Living Through Chemistry” because it’s the only thing that smacks of a new direction for the Queens while maintaining their originality and more importantly, their heavy sound. Other than that, it’s really hard to figure out why these guys are picked to lead the parade of real modern hard (some call it “stoner’) rock when there are MUCH better and more powerful bands out there (High on Fire and Electric Wizard come to mind) that write more memorable riffs than these guys do. Sorry, but this stuff doesn’t even come CLOSE to any Kyuss album I’ve heard. It just sounds like second-rate Mudhoney/Green River re-hashes. Not exactly what I would pick to define a genre. Of course, with Interscope, Rolling Stone and Spin overdriving the hype machine for QOTSA, who can stop them?

After all the QOTSA talk about how they’re the band “that just might save rock n roll” I thought I’d give it a try. Well if I were rock n roll and drowning and QOTSA were the lifegaurds I’d suck in a big mouthfull of water and head for the bottom. The album has no merit its very forgettable. I found the album loud ( wich is usually a must) but on this album there is no groove with the noise. My advice to you is that you borrow a friends copy and save yourself the money.
