Rated R

Interscope Records
For his post-Kyuss project’s sophomore hit, Josh Homme brought in old pals Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan and put together one of the weirdest major-label documents of drug-fueled fear and loathing. Opening track “Feel Good Hit of the Summer” even lists a litany of consumables. Considering their herky-jerky rhythms, amplifier destruction, and Sonny Sharrock-like guitar squalling, inappropriate-for-children anthems like “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret,” “Better Living through Chemistry,” and “Monsters in the Parasol” shouldn’t be this catchy or commercial. But they are.
