Queens of the Stone Age have to be one of the most interesting bands to come out of the '00s. Birthed from the remnants of Kyuss, QOTSA saw Josh Homme building rock and roll in his own image, with stoner rock jams being put alongside songs of rock and roll swagger. Rated R is where it starts getting really good, but the lyrics are not on their A-game right out of the gate.

As the opening strains of "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" blasts over your speakers, it sounds like you're about to go into a sonic war zone in the middle of the desert, but the lyrics are... kind of a joke. Instead of stringing together some kind of story or coherent theme, Homme just listed off a bunch of words as he tried to come to grips with how many substances he had ingested after an out-of-hand party.

Granted, it is impressive if Homme had actually taken that many drugs at one time, but there's not really much else the song has to say other than a laundry list of drugs and barraging your senses with rock and roll. It's understandable that this basic lyrical structure is going more for a vibe than for a flowing narrative, but a riff this badass really deserved a bit more than just filler words.
