The record

Title: Queens of the Stone Age – Rated R
Year/Genre: 2000, Alternative Rock
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Josh Homme built Queens of the Stone Age from the ashes of desert cult band Kyuss, and this album helped solidify the project as his main post-Kyuss vehicle with bassist Nick Oliveri in the core lineup.

  2. The opening track’s chant-like list of recreational substances caused retail controversy, leading some big-box chains to demand altered artwork and fueling debate over censorship and corporate gatekeeping.

  3. Guest appearances from musicians like Mark Lanegan highlighted the band’s loose “desert collective” approach, linking the record to the broader Palm Desert and stoner-rock touring circuit of the early 2000s.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
