At the time of its original release in 2000, Rated R was like very few albums at the time. In an era dominated by boy bands and fleeting pop icons, QOTSA delivered a record that appealed to the stoners and the metal-heads but didn’t tend to lean too heavily either way. In addition to the original record, this reissue includes a fantastic bonus disc containing a mix of b-sides and live tracks, including highlights You’re So Vague, Millionaire (which would appear on the group’s 2002 Songs For The Deaf record) and Feel Good Hit Of The Summer.
