[edit] Name of Album

I read on iTunes that this album is just called "R". Which is the correct version? - Bagel7 04:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

The front cover just says R, one edge says "Queens of the Stone Age", the opposite edge says "The Feel Good Hit of the Summer". The band usually refer to it as Rated R.--*smb 23:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Call me old fashioned, but shouldn't the band's opinion be the only one that matters? If your name were Bob but everyone called you Jack, you'd still be Bob. Regardless of how many times other people called you by the wrong name, it's still the wrong name.

"Keep in mind that they could just be informally referring to the album as "Rated R." The actual originally intended name may likely have been "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," though this was easily obscured by the cover art. So, instead they just started to call it the R rated album to make it easier for everyone".

"Rated R" should be made the standard reference throughout the article with the other variants mentioned for completeness of information only. I'll make the edit for now, but if others disagree it can always be reverted.--Museerouge 01:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rated X

There's a good JH quote along the lines of "How can it be Rated X if there's no penises?" from an interview about the record. I'll add it in when I find it again.--*smb 23:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] huh

my copy of the album is labelled R [Japan Bonus Track], but only has one track that is 8:40... there should be two :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.23.140 (talk) 16:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
