Im surprised you hate the self titled though, I must admit. But each to their own.

I love Kyuss, but the transition period between the two sounds wasn't really my slice of cheese. You've got the heavy, downtuned psychedelia that Homme pioneered in Kyuss and he just sticks some falsetto in there and expects it to work. There were a few highlights to the album (I Was a Teenage Hand Model sticks out in particular) but apart from that there was little for me to cling onto. Rated R marks such a huge contrast in sound to the self-titled & split that I don't feel the necessity to guard them from open criticism.
