Rated R

Queens of the Stone Age

A desert-noir odyssey where heavy riffs meet vibraphones and steel drums. Drug-fueled paranoia delivered with a velvet-smooth, hypnotic swagger.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate soundtrack for a drug-fueled desert road trip you probably won't survive.

A sophisticated blend of desert-noir intrigue and drug-induced sensory overload.

The writing leans far further into addiction than the rest of the catalogue.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, repetitive drug-mantra explosion that opens the record with a primal scream.
The transition into the hypnotic, krautrock-influenced groove of 'Better Living Through Chemistry'.
The mournful, gravel-voiced delivery of Mark Lanegan on the melancholic 'In the Fade'.
The chaotic, brass-heavy descent into madness during the final minutes of the closing track.
