QOTSAs sophomore album, the now legendary Rated R was released on Interscope Records in 2000, and
was what saw the band become what it is today. The album begins and ends with blistering pace and
is a masterpiece of 'robot rock' which burnt itself deep into all of our sub-conscious after only
one listen.
Rated R
