Apocalypse Dudes

Made me want to have non-consensual sex with myself.

It’s a shame that some of these cool rock tracks, guitar riffs, and solos were wasted with vocals and lyrics that a 13 year old would have written better after discovering their first swear words.

Some of it was definitely catchy and fun, but throughout the whole album the only vibe I could get through the whole thing was "This is what a group of writers for a Disney Channel sitcom would create as punk music" lol. Gets 3 stars, but only just barely.

Loud, splashy and directionless. Posers. An album which makes you reconsider whether there are as many as 1,001 albums you must listen to before you die.

This is one of the dumbest albums we’ve gotten on this list. I wanna cut these dudes some slack because English isn’t their native language, but they make Kiss sound like geniuses. Rendezvous With Anus?? Rock Against Ass??? What the fuck are you on about? 4/10

The riffs are an empty promise, the irony (as suggested by the band name) is notable only by its absense, and there's not even a whiff of groove. I'm guessing they really liked the Ramones. Me too. But (didn't I say this about Fun Lovin Criminals?) that doesn't mean if I make sandwich-board songs with provocative names they'll come out anything like Blitzkrieg Bop. Especially if, like these flat earthers, I totally eschew hooks.

Turbonegro... Am I allowed to say that...? According to the band, it's not at all racially based and instead meant to be like their music; FAST and DARK. Still, with that interpretation, it is not the Norsk death-music that I was expecting, though still less Cardigan and more Hives. Some of it was good... err MOST of it was good... a bit poppy with some surface-deep grit and grime. However, there are some tracks that seem as if they were written for performances on Eurovision. The vocals and mixing was just overproduced enough to ponder the identity they were carrying at the time of recording (... Gothy NSYNC anyone?) Eurovision, may not've been much a stretch, perhaps "Eurovision After Dark" as Turbonegro had stage performances outshined their music and evidently include antics like shooting roman candles out of their asses and playing in blackface in the early 90's. "Get It On" was great as is "Age of Pamparius", but tracks like "Are You Ready" which I suppose is meant to be frightening just plays like the Halloween lawn section at Home Depot. Maybe a little too refined for repeated listening, but there's definitely some stuff here worth saving and even looking forward to in the future.

Absolutely amazing. Didn't know about this band but I can see myself becoming a huge fan.

What happens when you knowingly throw every hard rock, glam metal and punk cliché into an an infectiously catchy cocktail of hooks and riffs, with absurd English as a second language lyrics, by Norway’s finest faux gay rockers. ‘Apocalypse Dudes’ is gloriously ridiculous, super enjoyable and a shit load of fun, but it’s also a clever record, and more than just mere homage. These guy really rock.

Do you want fun, energetic rock riffs while a bunch of goofy dudes say words like 'anus' and 'motherfucker'? Because that's what this is. Don't threaten me with a good time!

Let me check my notes… “if you want to rock, you gotta roll”, Wikipedia page says they “attack political correctness” and went blackface in early shows to “challenge the audience”. Musically, this means “rendezvous with anus”. Lead guitarist invoicing by the note. Chords strung into a forgettable rush… party band for the alt right… “Are you ready (for some darkness)” why the parentheses and which idiot thought this song needed an outro, all of these songs are too long… ah shit someone found the cowbells in the studio’s percussion larder… For the second day in a row I think of the Didjits, who made the patently offensive fun. Crap.

This motherfucking album is a good motherfucking time. Rock against ass motherfuckers.

This was actually a great album. Goes hard AF and lots of the songs are catchy. Love that the first one, "The Age of Pamarius", is the opening theme for Wildboyz lol. 8/10.

A barrage of Norwegian punk rock, banger after banger with no let-up. Loved it.

I'm sure the audience here is going to hate this album but I loved everything about it.

I'd never heard of Turbonegro before - but woah!!! This is exactly my type of thing 🤘🏻 Amazing energy all the way through and a great cover at the end of the album 5 ⭐️

5/5. Now this is the correct combination of heavy rock and punk, or metal and glam. Does not take itself seriously, even funny sometimes to the clear misunderstanding of English curse words. They just thought it was cool and don't care what anyone else thinks, if you liked it or not, doesn't matter. If that ain't punk I don't know what is. The wall of sound and heavy riffs is hard to not dig into to. Glad I can run into an album like this to include in my rotation. No notes, just awesome rock. Best Song: Get It On, The Age of Pampirus, Prince of the Rodeo, Humiliation Street

Should this album be considered perfect? Probably not, but it’s the imperfections that make it so much better. It is raw, high energy, and unapologetically silly at times. What is more punk than doing exactly whatever you want, even if that happens to be screaming about a really good pizza? I can’t think of much. This album really sent me back to being 19 and seeing Turbonegro in Kerrang, usually on the same stages as heavy metal giants. Turbonegro aren’t metal at all, but they have that same energy and power.

Holy fuck that album was so fucking good i loved it. The glam mixed with punk sounds so damn good fucjk man.

So, a confession. In addition to actively taking part in this community by being on, and contributing to this site, I’m also on the subreddit. I post a daily review of a new album every day, which can often reach 1000 words. Yes, I am chronically online, how could you tell. Anyway… I first heard about this album a few months ago when somebody put a post on the subreddit asking for why exactly it was on the list. The responses are actually very well thought through, especially for Reddit, with the best responses examining either a trend in the author’s choices regarding a liking for mixing of styles as displayed in Apocalypse Dudes’ mix of Glam and Punk, or a contextual explanation based on their influence on the role of back to basics guitar music in the early 2000’s. However, the most suggested explanation as to why Turbonegro deserve a place on the 1001 albums to listen to before you die, is that they fucking rip. And as useful as putting the album into context is, I think that the latter reason is really the best justification. Apocalypse Dudes is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating Rock albums I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. From the faux Who-esque Rock Opera opening of The Age Of Pamparius to the hilarious piss-taking final instrumental stretch outs of Good Head, this is absolutely some of the most fun I’ve had with a new album in a long, long time. I’ve listened to Apocalypse Dudes three times today. I’m on my fourth listen through as I write this review. It is half one in the morning. I still feel like strutting around town in my leather jacket, stomping along to the beat, playing air guitar and acting like the most insufferable yet charismatic motherfucker (note: can’t say motherfucker, motherfucker) around. The genius of Punk is that it’s DIY attitude can and should be inspiring. Unlike Prog, where you have to be a virtuoso (and also a boring fucker who enjoys writing boring 25 minute suites about being a wizard,) unlike Pop, where you have to be unnaturally pretty, and be willing to let a marketing team tell you what to do, Punk is liberating. I get the same feeling I do with Apocalypse Dudes as I do the early British Punk bands. I want to go out and start my own band right now. I want to take on the world with a few like-minded individuals, present a wall of sound that fucking blows them apart, and take on the fucking world. I want to make music that makes other people feel the way I do about this album

Easily one of my favorite punk albums from this project, if not THE favorite. They've successfully blended genres to make a cool new things while also respecting their roots. Best track: Get It On

Listening to this album was like being at a pub gig in Sydney in the late 70’s or 80’s, watching some Detroit-influenced, post - Birdman band, and having a great time. Totally generic. Full of those quirks that you only get with Scandi bands who have a particular way of using the English language - Rendezvous With Anus? Really??? Absolutely. The Scandis do not take a backward step when it comes to sex. There’s hardly a track here that doesn’t remind you of some 70’s American rock band. I love Euroboy’s guitar. A big highlight. I’m a Hives fan & for a while I was sure that the track Get It On borrowed heavily from their song Hate To Say I Told You So, but turns out the Turbonegro track predated the Hives cut by a couple of years. This is so not a 90’s album & that’s a really good thing. There’s nothing ground-breaking here, but what a pleasure it was listening to it.

If Monster Energy and spiked hair and Xbox and black and red and neon green sonic adventure 2 hot chip motorola phone dial up internet made an album. Also the Bowie cover at the end is genius. Great record.

Fun, kind of brainless (by design) rock 'n' roll. Kind of lost me near the end, but the energy carries it far. My first thought was, "they seem serious about not being serious." Favorite tracks: "Zillion Dollar Sadist", "Prince of the Rodeo", "Selfdestruco Bust"

great guitar driven rock. Liked it a lot.

Excellent! Fun if you're in a skater boi mood

I was really digging it, but by the fifth track I got bored.

This is gross.

This goofy, glam rock just does not appeal to me. It's competently made and performed, but it's so cheesy and dull to me. At least the vocals aren't annoying like so many others that came before.

I’m not sure I needed to hear this one before I die but now I have. Very silly. Very spoodly. I did enjoy the handclaps on Don’t Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker. I predict that I will use “I’ve got a headache in my pants” as an excuse to get out of something before the end of this week. I won’t listen to this again.

WTF? Are they trying to mess with us? I am confident I can find alt least 10 other albums, crappier than this but are more deserving to be on the 1,001 list. Was this pick won in a raffle? From a dart blindfolded-ly thrown at a list on the wall? It's a lazy pick.

I don’t think I needed to listen to this before I die.

Gonna bake a motherfucking pizza tonight!

FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC

T. Rex + 80s punk = Good

This rocks! I've never heard of Turbonegro before, but I like them. They seem to be having a lot of fun, musically and definitely lyrically. "I got a headache in my pants." That's original! Liked songs added: - The Age of Pamparius - Selfdestructo Bust - Prince of The Rodeo

Quintessential rock and roll. This is what happens in my head when I say "Rock Out"!

This was really good!!

As an ignorant Latin American, it is hard for me to grasp the fact that Punk rock exists in Norway. It's like listening to Australian reggaeton or Japanese Salsa (a real thing, let me tell you), but here we are, talking about one of these underappreciated bands that have filled our recent history. Turbonegro is savage, rapacious, sharp, hilarious, energetic, and sarcastic, like life itself. Wondering how it is to live in those Nordic countries where people get to be 100 years or more. Is this the elixir of youth? More like this, please!

This album is great, a ton of fun. Lots of good old guitar rock, great interplay. Put it on loud and love it. Love. It.

Yay, Turbonegro! Really good album from. First track, the age of pamparius, is sucking you into the next 54 mins. Probably their best album. I was surprised to find it on the list but it quite makes sense.

Brilliant fun

Good modern rock album with influence from past decades. Great pick.

What a find. These guys are great.

Ah, the soundtrack of my youth. In their heydays Turbonegro had a sizeable cult of followers in Scandinavia. The die hard fans all had denim jackets with Turbojugend patches. Some friends of mine even had a tribute band. I saw them live a couple of times in the early 2000’s but most of all i remember the many singalongs while partying with friends. Turbonegro is the sound of young male camaraderie. Although i might even prefer the trashier, dirtier and even more idiotic punk rock of their previous album Ass Cobra, my pants are bulging from the riffs and shout-along-friendly lyrics of Apocalypse Dudes. When so much fast and heavy rock takes itself way to serious Turbonegro brings back a juvenile excitement to rock’n’roll with their homoerotic punk rock.

overall rating: 10/10 favourite song: get it on ( 9.5/10 ) runner up favourite: rock against ass ( 9/10 ) least favourite: are you ready ( 8/10 ) album cover: 8.5/10 vocals: 9/10 instrumentals: 10/10 would i recommend ? : yes i have already mentioned it to two people other: first album / band i’ve been recommended that i haven’t heard about before hand. a lot of the songs sound relatively similar and i don’t notice a song change , that isn’t that bad tho. i really love this album and will definitely listen to more by the band.

I first heard of Turbonegro last summer on the Covino and Rich Show podcast. Covino was talking about listening to their song "All My Friends Are Dead". I was curious about what they sounded like, so I gave them a listen, and thoroughly enjoyed what I heard! These guys are punk/hard rock from Norway. They don't take themselves too seriously, singing songs with titles such as: I Got Erection, Blow Me (Like The Wind), Hobbit Motherfuckers, Shake Your Shit Machine, and Stroke the Shaft to name a few. People who get easily offended won't like these guys, but that's kind of the point. I have listened to "best of" lists of theirs on Spotify, but never heard this record cover to cover. I knew the song Rendezvous With Anus, but that was about it, so I was looking forward to hearing some more of their stuff today! Unlike what most people think, Turbonegro isn't racist at all! The band claims that the name is in reference to their style of music: Turbo = fast Negro = dark Overall, a great album! Don't take anything too seriously, and you may enjoy it too. The instrumentation is unapologetically fast and thrashy, and the lyrics are simplistic and hilarious. The first song on the record, The Age of Pamparius, is about making a pizza! I will absolutely listen again, and was excited to see that they made the list! Favourite songs: Monkey on Your Back, Prince of the Rodeo, Rendezvous With Anus, Are You Ready (For Some Darkness), Humiliation Street, Rock Against Ass, Get It On, Selfdestructo Bust, "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker", The Age of Pamparius, Zillion Dollar Sadist, Good Head Least favourite song: Back to Dungaree High 5/5

First off, I love the album name. Second, this is right up my alley. Very punkish and fun. I liked this.

**In-Depth Review of Turbonegro's "Apocalypse Dudes"** **Overview** "Apocalypse Dudes," released in 1998, is Turbonegro's fourth studio album and a landmark in their career, marking a shift from raw punk roots toward a more polished glam rock-infused punk sound. It was the first album featuring Euroboy on lead guitar and the last before the band’s temporary disbandment in 1998. The album is considered a breakthrough for the Norwegian underground band and the first installment in their "Apocalypse trilogy," followed by *Scandinavian Leather* (2003) and *Party Animals* (2005)[1][2]. --- ## Lyrics The lyrics on "Apocalypse Dudes" are provocative, irreverent, and often tongue-in-cheek, laden with crude humor and deliberately offensive language. They incorporate a mix of homoerotic imagery, absurdity, and shock value, which some critics see as juvenile or simplistic, while others appreciate the band's unapologetic fun and punk ethos. The band’s use of English as a second language adds a quirky charm to the lyrics, which often come across as both playful and confrontational. Examples include songs like "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker" and "Rendezvous with Anus," which flaunt taboo language and themes in a way that challenges political correctness and mainstream sensibilities. While some listeners dismiss the lyrics as immature or lacking sophistication, others argue that the silliness and rawness are part of the album’s punk spirit—doing whatever they want without concern for convention[1][4][5]. --- ## Music Musically, "Apocalypse Dudes" blends punk rock with glam rock and hard rock, creating a sound that is both energetic and melodic. The album features a "wall of guitars," with Euroboy’s lead guitar work providing memorable riffs and solos that elevate the songs beyond typical punk simplicity. The compositions are longer and more structured than previous Turbonegro records, with influences ranging from the Ramones and Stooges to AC/DC and Alice Cooper. Key musical characteristics include: - **Guitar Work:** Euroboy’s signature riffs and solos, such as on "Prince of the Rodeo" and "Humiliation Street," showcase a glam rock flair with tight, catchy hooks. - **Rhythm Section:** The drums and bass provide a powerful backbone, with driving beats that blend punk urgency with classic rock groove. - **Song Variety:** Tracks range from fast-paced punk anthems ("Get It On") to mid-tempo rockers with pop elements ("Rock Against Ass") and more experimental sounds featuring synths and acoustic guitars ("The Age of Pamparius"). - **Production Quality:** The album’s production is notably clearer and more polished than earlier Turbonegro works, bordering on arena rock in its sound, which enhances the impact of the guitars and vocals without losing raw energy[2][3][5]. --- ## Production Recorded at Endless Sound studio in late 1997, the album’s production reflects a significant evolution from the band’s earlier lo-fi punk style. The clarity and balance in the mix allow each instrument to shine, particularly the guitars and drums, which are big and punchy. The production supports the glam rock aesthetic while maintaining punk’s aggressive edge. Hank von Helvete’s vocal performance was affected by his heroin addiction during recording, notably requiring multiple takes for "Are You Ready (For Some Darkness)." Despite this, the vocals convey a raw, charismatic energy that complements the music’s intensity. The album was released through Virgin Records, marking a step up in label support and distribution, which helped it reach a wider audience[2][3]. --- ## Themes "Apocalypse Dudes" explores themes typical of punk rock’s rebellious spirit but filtered through a glam rock lens with a heavy dose of irony and camp. Common themes include: - **Sexuality and Provocation:** The band plays with homoerotic imagery and explicit sexual references, often to shock or amuse. - **Rebellion and Anti-Establishment:** Songs express defiance against political correctness and societal norms. - **Party and Excess:** The album embraces a hedonistic, wild lifestyle, celebrating rock ‘n’ roll excess and fun. - **Dark Humor:** There is an undercurrent of sardonic humor and absurdity throughout the lyrics and presentation. These themes, combined with the band’s flamboyant image and theatrical style, create a unique identity that sets Turbonegro apart from straightforward punk or glam acts[1][4]. --- ## Influence "Apocalypse Dudes" is widely regarded as a cult classic and a seminal album in the punk/glam crossover genre. It has influenced numerous bands in the punk, garage rock, and hard rock scenes worldwide. The album’s blend of catchy hooks, provocative lyrics, and high-energy performances helped define the subgenre often called "death punk," a term associated with Turbonegro’s style. Notably, Jello Biafra called it "the most important European record ever," highlighting its impact beyond Norway. The album also inspired a tribute album, demonstrating its lasting legacy in punk circles[5][3]. --- ## Pros and Cons | Pros | Cons | |----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | Infectiously catchy and energetic songs | Lyrics can be perceived as juvenile or offensive | | Strong, memorable guitar riffs and solos | Some tracks feel overly long or directionless | | Polished production that balances clarity and rawness | Provocative themes may alienate some listeners | | Unique blend of punk, glam, and hard rock | Not all punk purists appreciate the glam influence| | High replay value with no weak tracks | Vocal performance affected by singer’s health issues during recording | | Cult status and significant influence on punk scene | Some critics find the humor and style too silly or gimmicky | --- **Summary** "Apocalypse Dudes" stands as a bold, energetic, and influential album that successfully merges punk’s raw power with glam rock’s theatricality. Its provocative lyrics, infectious riffs, and polished production create a unique listening experience that remains compelling over two decades later. While the album’s lyrical content and some stylistic choices might divide opinion, its impact on punk and rock music is undeniable, securing its place as a cult classic and a must-listen for fans of high-energy, rebellious rock music.

I am writing this review at nearly 2:00 in the morning on a school bus for a cool trip, so I’d definitely say this album was listened to by me under interesting circumstances. You know what else is cool besides the trip I’m going on? This album! I love this! I don’t think I’d ever really heard of Turbonegro before (Am I even allowed to say that band name?), but I guess I’m a fan of their music based on this album. This album’s just a whole load of fun. It’s considered a glam punk album, which makes sense seeing as I’m definitely getting both glam rock and punk vibes from Apocalypse Dudes. It’s a bit goofy, but there’s also a bit of a punk spirit that I enjoy. Hey, if Jello Biafra says it’s good, it probably is. The style is great! The riffs are strong, and there’s even some cool solos! I wish the bass lines were more interesting though. That’s just a me thing. The writing is fun too. I could definitely see why others might not be into it, but I absolutely am into it. The songs are cool, and the pacing is good. Overall, I really enjoyed this album. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece or anything, but it’s definitely an album for me. Strong 4/5.

Damn dude, I had a blast with this album! I liked it way more than it probably deserves. My enjoyment greatly benefited from the fact that I don't care about lyrics at all. Just fast punk with catchy guitar riffs. I added a few songs to my "Skate" playlist, and I could easily just put this whole album on anytime I go to the skatepark. Nobody is wilder than the Warzone Tones, but the truth is, we love albums and we would never hurt one. Please, don't try anything you see on this list at home.

Perfect post-punk. Not like Green Day, which sapped out all true punk energy from most of their popular work. Powerful, varied. Just what I need to bang my head. 4/5

This is a full gas laugh. Less darkness and less speediness than the name suggests, coming on more like a hardcore Hives. Silly in a good way.

This was pretty fun.

Gonna tell my kids this is “Rumours”.

Truthfully should read through the lyrics to really understand whats going on here but this album really rocks for me. It made me immediately miss being at a great rock show. These guys have to be great live. They have some fun pizzaz which seems to tip a hat to the headband rock (is that a real term or something only my friends use?) of yore on the opener and then go into a much more contemporary sound that isn't far off from a lot of the rock I like today. Would listen again, and in fact already started the album from the top.

Rock n Roll often comes off as pretentious and trying too hard, or going too hard into substance abuse, but I really felt like these dudes where just having a great time and being slightly goofy, fuck-off fun rock punkers. "Prince of the Rodeo", "Rock Against Ass"

What a fun album 7/10 FT: Get It On

Remember that Scandinavian version of Bam Margera Gets Drunk With His Friends? I think this is the band that was in it all the time. It’s all right; very basic pop punk with goofy lyrics. It was pretty fun to listen to but nothing spectacular. Pretty surprised it was on here at all.

I don’t hate it but it would have been 4 stars had they gone with the name Nazipenis

Pretty solid for a mindless punk album. I actually like their sound quite a bit. Not too many songs stood out as unique but I saved a few including Selfdestructo Blast, Are you Ready, and Monkey on your back. I’m not surprised Steve-O and Pontius fuck with them enough to pick a song from here as their theme song for WildBoyz (though I have no idea what song it was). It seems like one of those punk bands that think trashing a hotel room is the end goal and not just some shit that happens along the way though.

Erm what. The write up makes this sound fucking atrocious. "Norway's sassiest rent boys"? "All six members play their gay roles with Nordic solemnity". It was Pride last weekend, I feel like I shouldn't be listening to this right now. Taking stock, I was heavily into Pink Grease around this time, who were probably doing similar stuff with a more glam and less rock sound than this. So the music itself, it's foot tapping no doubt. I'm definitely bringing The Darkness to mind, and this is better than that (perhaps without one outstanding song), and definitely as silly. Obviously its impossible to take a song like Rendezvous with Anus seriously, even though it's delivered straight. It's played well and well produced. Not something to pay huge attention to, a record to stick on while getting ready to go out as a teenager, not really for me anymore! Overall, it's not bad. Absolutely not bad.

I too have listened to the Stooges. Rock on

This album is one of the most cringe things I've had to endure in a while. It feels like a bunch of 50 year olds tried to be edgy and cool at the 4th grade graduation party. I don't have a single song that I hope to hear again. The song titles are so lame, the content was lacking and have no point. Ok yall can shred the guitar and bash some drums well but that doesn't mean you can write a song. Its only not getting a 1 because of the instrumentation.

Amazing intro, I had high hopes. But the rest 55 minutes sound like one single song. The overly enthusiastic and ott sound made it feel like sensory overload, especially when I was not in the high-energy mood. Almost gave me an anxiety attack at work.

I don't want to listen to this. Rock Against Ass? Rendezvous with Anus? My ears are bleeding. This is a hard no from me.

423 albums in and I’ve finally come to the conclusion I don’t need to listen to 100% of an album to decide it’s shit. This is shit.

Objectively speaking, this album shouldn't have been created, but it's got a few things going for it. Some of the song titles (Rock Against Ass, Humiliation Street, Rendezvous With Anus) are fire. The opening song, The Age Of Pamparius, has a decent sounding, new-wave-y atmosphere in the opening that introduces the album pretty well. But apart from that, the sound is just generally bad. All the tracks are a weird sort of abrasive metal-punk. And I mean all of them. Because, apart from the opening track, they all sound identical. There's little in the way of musicality outside of the opener. This album was a slog to get through, particularly with the horrific cover of Bowie's Suffragette City and some other album fillers like Monkey On Your Back and Back To Dungaree High. Even if this album had been shaved down to a more appropriate 30 minutes (or less), it still would've been a painful commitment. 1/5 Key tracks: The Age Of Pamparius

Track names get 6 stars. This one came out of nowhere but it's great. All bangers

Powerful melodic saturated punk rock I love it

Très sympa. Ça envoie !

I loved this album and the hard rock. I had never heard of this band until now, and the band isn't that old, either. I wish I listened to this earlier.

This was a really fun album to listen to. An interesting blend of some head-banging punk and badass hard rock. People clown on the lyrics but I think they're funny and the band is just having fun. Not every song has to be about heartbreak and failed relationships. I really enjoyed this album and saved some songs to revisit.

Glam rock and punk is such a great combination, and these guys pull it off perfectly. The album has big, anthemic choruses and a rock ‘n’ roll attitude, but with the rebellious energy of punk. There’s also a tongue-in-cheek element, which just adds to the fun.

Fuck yeah, this is a masterpiece

Fucking brilliant. Eases you into it for a moment in the first track, and then you're off! I had a grin on my face from that moment and they never backed off from then on, which I'm thrilled about. Also fun Down with the Sickness ass drums in Dungaree High lol. An album and band I'd never heard before but an instant save!

Fun

Very good!

Cool!

The only actual rock-n-roll bands that've ever existed on Planet Earth are Poison Idea and Turbonegro

punk/hair metal album

Nemmeste 5'er på listen indtil videre - og det er ikke engang Turbonegros bedste plade. Euroboy rammer den lige i røven, man kan bare mærke hvordan han eksploderer i pik-guitar riffs. Teksterne er så fjollede og jeg elsker dem! MOTHER FUCKING PIZZA TONIGHT!

Classic college rock that I keep coming back to annually. Very surprised it ended up on this list

Wow. Intense, whimsical, punk as hell. This reminds me of the best of AC/DC, and just seems like they are just out here to have a great time. The band name, some of the historical context (ie playing in blackface) hasn't aged well, but I think some of that can be chalked up to them being a European band. Regardless, this feels like glam rock as it should be - fun as hell with absolutely killer guitar and drums.

Está cabron

cool

At first I wanted to say ''who the hell is Turbonegro and why is this album on the generator?" But, as soon as that came up, a wild series of memories came flooding back. They were somewhat familiar to me but only through snippets via Viva la Bam and Wildboyz and, as soon as those songs started, everything began to click. For me, it's not nostalgia, it is a full circle scenario hearing songs like The Age of Pamparius, Selfdestructo Bust and Prince of the Rodeo for the first time in a very long time, but in full. As for the other songs on here, there was a slight feeling of dread when it came to their titles (Rock Against Ass, Rendezvous With Anus, Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker) but ultimately they caused no harm while guaranteeing a good time. A glamorous punk rock romp from beginning to end that ensures hooks that would stick inside ones head for a while. I'm glad to have reconnected with Turbonegro while hearing something new.

My friend Huw recommended this to me at least 15 years ago. Great stuff, punk, but melodic.

Excellent grungy punk. Loved it!

Amazing. The wildboyz theme. This album had it all

Whatever numbnut categorized this as "glam rock" needs to have their hearing checked or their critic card revoked. This is punk. It sits comfortably on the same part of the spectrum as The Clash and The Ramones even though it's decades younger. As such, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe that's because my expectations were so low given the glam label or maybe it's just because I'm a punk kid who just gets off on guitars distorted to sandpaper roughness. Either way, this was a total joy ride for me and I'm here for it all day.

I mean wow. This is good if not great! What a suprise.

Yes yes yes

Bad Ass!

Задорное название, задорные песни :)

Mind Blown. L'un des albums les plus intéressants depuis longtemps. Le mélange de punk, hard rock, heavy metal est très bien fait, les compositions sont solides et les leads de guitare sont incroyable.

I needed this today. Where has this been all my life? Norwegian Death Punk. I kind of guessed what I was getting into with song titles like "Rendezvous with Anus," "Good Head,", "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker," and "Rock Against Ass." But I had no idea of the quality and intensity. Definitely falls in the punk category but there are hard rock aspects and rarely do you hear a lead guitar in punk as good as this. You hear all sorts of influences: Stooges, Ramones, Black Flag, Butthole Surfers, Monster Magnet (contemporaries at the time) and even Van Halen. But, their sound is unique. No bad songs or fillers on this; some may disagree. A song highlight was "Prince of the Rodeo" which sounds like Van Halen on Crack. Well, OK, more Crack. Fantastic.

I absolutely love this album. It's this perfect mix of jackass style jokes (didn't hurt they were on the soundtrack to half of it), genuinely cool hard rock a la Motorhead, and peppered with guitar solos. It also makes me rub my fucking nipples with glee when I read reviews for metal/punk/whatever albums on here, and so many people have written that they didn't finish the album. "Ugh, too loud!" hahaha, fuck you. This is a legit 5/5 without even thinking.

Awesome.
