Not legendary but riffs are worth
sucked didnt finish
fast rock
Generic and uninspired. Like a fake band from a Disney channel movie.
Awful! The streak of bad albums continues with incoherent screaming & a great deal of anger. Good grief.
Meh. Another band that adored the Ramones but liked the muscled sound of late 90s amplifiers. They perfected their sound; to the point where the album is pretty monotonous. Ultimately, I heard nothing that I'll remember.
Dirty dirty glampunk
Favorite Track: Monkey On Your Back
This would’ve been right up my street back in the day! Kinda remind me of a less serious, tongue-in-cheek version of Rocket From the Crypt or Hot Snakes. Thats in a good way too, they arent novelty despite their song names and lyrics. Aye theyre pretty daft, but music wise it all works. Hard/heavy pop punk. Canny. Cant see me being back often but a strong 3.5
How did turbonegro ever make it on to this list? One of those bands that were always on festival bills, playing O2 academies and on the cover of kerrang without me ever proper listening to them. They sound halfway between punk rock and hair metal, it's mostly fun stuff. As mentioned, some suspect song titles that seem to be filtered through a Scandinavian translation to English. I'm not sure if Id listen again but it's exactly the sort of band I want on this list, 3.5.
Some of it is a bit daft, but it doesn't sound like it was made in the 90s. Loud, fast, and fun. I listened to the album twice, Are You Ready (For Some Darkness) was my favourite track. A generous 4 stars, but I did enjoy it!
Never heard of these guys and I initially thought it was a bit silly, but after a few tracks I had fully bought into it. Really energetic kinda hardcore pop punk. Lots of "woahs" and "come ons" and power chords. Reminded me of the hives combined with pennywise..... Something felt very familiar anyway. Some nonsensical daft lyrics and song titles but I'm not sure I cared too much, as the energy was class. Spotify played some great tunes afterwards too. Reckon I'll be back. Can't quite give it a 5, but really enjoyed it. 4.5
It’s a little obnoxious sometimes. Kinda cool sometimes. I dunno not really doing it for me.
Shouty grungey stuff. Thought 1 or 2 sounded familiar and then read that a couple of songs were featured in Jackass
Music great. Lyrics whack. I would have loved this as a kid though.
it was fine at first, but as it neared the end i just wanted it to be over lol
Some good songs on here, but overall kind of a generic pop punk sound
These guys sound like A, but with more swearing. They're not terrible.
I tried really hard to not like this album but failed miserably. Not my style and not terribly original but very well done and fun.
As far as I know I've never heard of Turbonegro, nor heard anything from this album, a nice exposure to a late 90s album. They've definitely got a serious retro rock vibe going (maybe a bit metal? apparently punk roots too), which is kind of fun, and they're a pretty tight band. I'm not sure there are any really notable songs in the album (even their bonus track "Suffragette city" cover is kind of nondescript), but it's kind of a fun throwback listen, especially if you're out on the open road (which I wasn't). And based on other albums like this in the 1001 albums, I rightly guessed that they aren't American (Norwegian, it turns out), but clearly want to revive that later 80s very American rockin' sound. And they do it pretty well, I'd say. I'm not sure it necessarily deserves inclusion in the 1001-albums collection, but then again that's probably true of a lot of the albums.
Grinding guitars on the earlier tracks reminded me of Jay Reatard--this album seems to be a mostly successful punk | rock | glam hybrid with a bit of a downgrade for some truly juvenile lyrics.
It’s like Rancid almost? Nothing special about it that pulled me in though
I need someone to explain this to me. It’s satire, right? Like “Rock Against Ass” and “Rendezvous with Anus” are jokes, right? I just am confused so some explanation would be nice. This is a good time if you don’t listen too closely. It’s glam-inspired punk, a combination I don’t know that I’ve ever thought of before. For what it is and what it’s trying to be, they pull that combination off well. But this self-aware, “we’re gonna say outrageous things because that’s might shock some people” kind of attitude has always struck me as a pretty childish form of surface level, superficial shock rock that doesn’t shock nearly as much as they’d expect. Or maybe they weren’t trying to shock anybody, but just thought it was funny. Well I thought it was just kind of dumb. Or maybe they’re completely serious, in which case I’m totally lost. Regardless, this album has its moments, just not enough to push it past two stars. Standout Tracks: Selfdestructo Bust, Prince of the Rodeo
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 ⭐️
Didn’t finish, i did not like it.
Not on Spotify
For authors of Rendezvous With Anus they sound too soft. Yes, I expected some death metal and I'm disappointed. Of course it's punk Not the worst
The radio sanitized slop you'd hear during a skateboard montage in a coming of age Hollywood movie almost gave it a two because I liked Humiliation Street but Good Head ruined it for me a again shortly thereafter
Pop-punk-rock
starts out alright for what it is, but wears out its welcome quickly. there's a very cheeky unserious masculine energy to this, and it makes a lot of sense how tracks from this ended up on multiple Jackass soundtracks
I don’t know if my rating is an actual rating of this album or just the fact that I’m rocked out. Over 200 albums and it’s been 90% rock lol at some point it all starts sounding the same. This album is cool but it sounds like the last several albums I’ve listened to in the past week.
Terrible, every song sounds the same.
So I know Turbonegro a bit from some of their better-known songs in the few years after this, and I know what I'm getting into before listening to Apocalypse Dudes, and it doesn't disappoint. They are...not good lyrically, which is being polite, but I also don't care? :D The guitars go fucking HARD and it's a proper fun, energetic listen that I can get hyped to in the right moment, a nice mix of glam and metal and driving hard rock, can't go wrong with that. It's a high 3 for sure, maybe a low 4 because it's a riot of a listen right up my street, scoring highly for guitarmanship and low for immaturity. Probably not a 4 really.
A strange combination of absolutely dreadful lyrics and quite fun punk driving rhythms (actually, it's not that unusual, is it?). It's good if you don't really listen to it, but it's basically what a 12 year old me would've thought was edgy and cool. 'Anus'! 3/5.
Build up in the age of pamperius was notable & everything else not
Too loud for my taste.
This album's not bad but nothing really stands out enough for it to ever be memorable to me. I mean, the last track is called Good Head, and I can get that pretty much anywhere...
I really wish the lyrics were better.
Kept 3 tunes
Weird-ish punk-ish album. Some interesting sounds but didnt really hit for me. On the two side of 2.5.
Surprised at this one. Gotta love Norse metal!
Cool!
I’ve heard a couple of their songs (not on this album) and I like the music but not the singer/lyrics as much.
Was not sure what to expect but ended up enjoying it. Might add to workout playlist
Doesn't really stand out in anything in particular and thusly wears out it's welcome pretty fast, just your run of the mill 90's buttrock album.
Better than expected and I kind of dug them. Where they anything revolutionary, not in today's world but I would listen again. One criticism is i didn't feel like they always had a lot of emotion and feeling behind their lyrics. Not bad, just not passion.
Solid rawk'n. Except why are we rocking against ass? I like asses. It would be hard to sit without them. I liked Prince of the Rodeo, and Back to Dungaree High. Good Head was fun while it lasted but sorta petered out. My criticism of this album is that it's not that creative. Kind of repetitive but kudos for keeping up the energy. Yes, they rawk. Yes, they have fun energy but this album is kinda like a one night stand for me. Fun while it lasted but probably not anything I would come back to once I've heard it.
I kinda dug the garage rockin’ vibes of this one. They don’t seem to take themselves too seriously, which makes it more fun. However, they do seem to be confused about their relationship with the derrière. Are we rendezvousing with it or rocking against it? Either way, this was better than I expected!
Get it on was a rammer Other than that BORED
Fast, heavy, dumb - 14 year old me and 27 year old me are head banging together right now - 4.5/5 So many NWOBHM elements in this, what a gem of an album. The lead guitar itself is 5/5 HOWEVER, some of the songs dragged a teeny bit (the ones without guitar solos) Also the band name is so sus it’s giving white people trying to be edgy YAWN Standout tracks: - Selfdestructo bust 5/5 - Prince of the rodeo 5/5
Yick. These dudes are bad, not in a good bad way, but as in actually bad. I will forget I ever heard this.
lame
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
Kind of dumb but not the worst thing to listen to when I was at the gym and doing work in the office. Also I was the number one listener of Turbonegro on Airbuds at some point so that counts for something.
honestly this was pretty good. They r def trying way way too hard to be vulgar and shocking. Im getting kinda freaky Friday vibes, as in if this were a band in a movie id be like wow that was lowkey good. prolly unlikely to revisit this
7/10 - Why does good head sound like thunder from thunderstruck. I thought it was pretty good. It was just decent rock but an interesting choice for a band name.
Not usually into this sort of stuff but this really wasn't that bad
The only actual rock-n-roll bands that've ever existed on Planet Earth are Poison Idea and Turbonegro
gonna make some motherfucking pizza tonight
punk/hair metal album
Ret underholdende men også ret forgettable for mig
Ustandselig energi! Det er pænt dumt, men fede riffs og fede soloer.
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!
Maybe a bit cheesy but it rocks, so I'll allow it.
Heikohkoa suroittamista mutta natsavaaa musiikkia kitaraa vingutusta ja ovela esiimtyjä nimi...
Imagine this is your favourite album and when people ask what your favourite album is you have to say it's by "Turbonegro" and features songs like "Rendezvous with Anus" and "Rock Against Ass"... couldn't be me
I don’t think I needed to listen to this before I die.
fun metal album
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.
A high octane album from Turbonegro for their fourth outing. Moving away from their hardcore punk sound into a slightly more produced hard rock/electronica sound that still wouldn't sound out of place on any Tony Hawk video game. Best: Age of Pamparius Worst: Humiliation Street
Not good!
Is all popular music just a way to trick dumb kids out of their pocket money?
So TBH, I had no idea what to expect from “Turbonegro” – as I had never heard of them before, and frankly – was a bit scared… Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with this Norwegian hard rock band – especially musically – as sonically – they were right in my wheelhouse… I really enjoyed the music on this album, as there were numerous tracks that I thought were really well-done, as the musicianship was nothing short of outstanding – as most of the complex, guitar-driven compositions were excellent “meat and potatoes” hard rock… Favorite tracks – again based mainly for the instrumentation, were – - “Age Of Pamparius” - “Get It On” - “Monkey On Your Back” And the best track IMO was… - “Humiliation Street” That said, the same cannot be said for the lyrics and/or song titles – as lyrically, this sounds like it was written by Beavis & Butthead… I’m not even joking here… Seriously – the lyrical content of this album is THAT awful… And if “Rendezvous With Anus” & “Good Head” don’t paint the picture, and tell you everything that you need to know – then I don’t know what to say… Don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album where the gap between the high-quality musical content, and absolutely dreadful lyrics was ever THIS wide… Absolutely shocking… Someone should re-record these songs with new above-average lyrics and better vocal delivery (i.e. and I get that English is their 2nd language, but they’re barely pedestrian vocally…), and I bet this album would really sell well… Would give this a 3 based on the music, but a 1 based on the lyrical content – so it gets a frustrating 2 from me… Oh what could have been…
Pretty awful, plus how dare they butcher Suffragette City
Ok, what to do with this one... Musically, it's a good album. Ignore the lyrics and keep your expectations on the low side and you'll have a good time. Turbonegro's energy is great and they can clearly make a good album. But the lyrics... guys, really? 'Rock Against Ass'? I'm tempted to think it's an elaborate joke that the fans are all in on but the band's attitude really comes across like a bunch of teenagers who feel like they're making the heaviest and most shocking music that was ever made. I mean, maybe if it had come out in the early 70s, but just throwing around swear words, seemingly aimlessly, is really not as edgy as they might think. The band name is suspicious but they claim it's not racist. I could suspend disbelief until I read about their blackface phase. Nope, sorry guys, I'm done. 1 extra star for some good rock music but it's not good enough to ignore the rest, which is just embarrassing.
I mean, it’s no one’s favorite album, but it’s fun.
Enjoyable enough
Fun and great energy
My initial impression was “Jane’s Addiction doing Judas Priest covers.” That impression lasted, but in a fairly good way. Rounding up because this was a lot better than I expected.
Started well enough, but played themselves down.
It was kinda fun.
I quite enjoyed this. Good in short bursts, probably best for as long as it takes to skateboard down a 32bit airport. I like the European take on things sometimes, they seem to come at things from a different angle and don’t play by the normal UK/US rules. But not what I’d listen to by choice and I don’t think I’ll ever listen to these guys again.
Classic college rock that I keep coming back to annually. Very surprised it ended up on this list
Tää on just sitä Jackass/Tony Hawk -ränttätänttää mitä parikyt vuotta sitten porukalla kuunneltiin. Pitsabiisi oli ihan jees.
Apocalypse Dudes Never heard of Turbonegro or this album. The opening track starts out quite Oasis-like, with the acoustic and some Noel-esque lead, before going a bit Baba O’Riley before then turning into some kind of garage metal? The first two bits are fine, the last a bit boring, whatever you might call the style. And that's where it stays, a kind of hard rock garage punk type thing. Which is fine if you like that kind of thing but it’s pretty dul really, the occasional decent bit of riffing apart. I don’t really like his vocals either, a bit like the Hives singer but without the charm. I guess the lyrics are supposed to be deliberately provocative with tongue in cheek, but they just sound a bit lame and try hard. I guess it’s fine for what it is and trying to do, but to me it doesn’t even really work as a dumb fast rock album, it just feels kind of pointless. It’s not particularly exciting, it doesn't do anything particularly interesting, it just kind of exists as loud guitars and solos, a bit of shouting, some silly lyrics and not much else. The lack of harmonic, musical or instrumental variety starts to drag after about 4 songs and makes it a slog to get through. It’s not the worst album, but there seems to me to be a lot better examples of this kind of thing, so there’s no reason to ever come back to this. 🇳🇴🇳🇴 Playlist submission: The Age of Pamparius, as it’s the only one with anything vaguely different about it.
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.
Production was good but the lyrics must’ve been done as a school project or smn
Lyrics ruin what would have otherwise been an awesome record. Guitar riffs, vocal talent, it’s all there. But the lyrics would’ve been better off written by AI
Do you like *dumb* rock? Do I have an album for you!
Ok musically sometimes. Too long and annoying at the worst times. Why is this on the list? Did anyone get inspired by this, are they influential. I dont know
A surprise like! It was catchy and not too aggressive
Middle school boys named these songs. Middle school boys might have written some of the lyrics. I find myself vibing and then I listen to the lyrics and I'm like ???
Rock efficace au début, mais un peu redondant et qui trahit son âge à la longue. Plus le nom et la posture des musiciens me met mal à l'aise...
I actually liked the sound and hard rock vibe. Their lyrics are awful. Always surprised by the need to sing expletives and smut. Otherwise - great hard rock vibe!
Kinda boring for me. Probably fun live but even the mix was bland
Didn't listen to this all the way through. A lot heavier than I usually listen to.
Very mediocre. Can't see what's special about this at all.
6.5/10
Ok
high energy hard rock/punk with some guitar solos and dark lyrical subject matter. Topically understand the inclusion, but that offsets my score.
The band itself can play, but you listen to the lyrics, and you just can't tell how sarcastic these guys are trying to be. Wikipedia has a description of them as: "Radio Birdman meets Venom in an institution for sexually abused r****ds." And I mean... I guess that's a good description. Punk isn't always super-serious, there's a lot of tongue-in-cheek. But when you got a song called "Rock Against Ass," you're obviously going for the 12-year olds (fortunately I've been called that by my wife on a perpetual basis. But I digress...). Still, they do a damn good cover of "Suffragette City." And I am pretty sure they're in on the joke of it all. Top tracks: "Monkey On Your Back," "The Age Of Pomparius," "Prince Of The Rodeo"
Whoa. I don't know what I was expecting but it was not this. So-called deathpunk but I also hear that hard rocking, heavy guitar sound that Volbeat (another Scandinavian rock band) brings - maybe just not quite as much rockabilly as Volbeat later brought. Just listen to the start of The Age of Pamparius - soaring, glammy, and then with a bit of AC/DC plucking. Once they get into singing full-swing, yeah I hear the punk. But what a cool f'n opening song. Other songs I enjoyed for their uptempo, pulsing, rocking beats were Selfdestructo Bust, Get it On, Don't Say MotherF*, MotherF*, and Prince of the Rodeo. Almost like listening to Motorhead, reimagined for punk. Their lyrics are seriously demented, which also seems like a punk motif, but often they're witty. Admittedly at times they go overboard and are pure crass (Are Your Ready for Some Darkness) as you can likely tell from some of the song titles (Rendezvous with Anus, Good Head). But it's not all depravity all the time; there is a genre of rock/metal for that (wasn't sure if that was part of why these guys are on the 1,001 list). These guys are better musicians and songwriters than what is in that genre. All in all, this album was a pleasant surprise.
This album definitely RAWKS. Not super original, music-wise, but it's fun. Definitely some cringey lyrics ("Sperminator of the asshole"???) but I'd listen again. Favorite Tracks: The Age of Pamparius (I love that this rocker is about a pizzeria: "Gonna bake a motherfucking pizza tonight"), Get It On, Zillion Dollar Sadist, Prince of the Rodeo. Award for best song title of the 1001 albums so far: Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker, closely followed by Rendezvous with Anus.
Had no idea what to expect by the name, but great 80's rock revival.
Constant energy, which I appreciate. Started to feel a bit monotonous though.
Surprisingly, I really liked this. Fast and furious, butmelodic and engaging. Not keen on thecover of Suffragette City, I preferred their own material
Loved this album! It's a fun rock album, very upbeat. Not the biggest fan of all the lyrics, but otherwise I think it was solid.
The last song that was a cover was the best song. Was fun at first but got old quick
I mean this was kind of fun. I didn't dislike it but it was kind of bland and samey.
Ass against rock
3.9. liked it
This album was released 10 years too late for it to be worth anything. Also these lyrics are very juvenile. There are much better albums in this genre.
Halfway between Black Flag and the Spiders from Mars, this is loud and fast and dumb as hell. Its got the high energy and directness of a punk band paired with the hooky bombast of a classic rock arena band. The thing is, Guns N Roses already perfected this formula. They're an early entry in the turn of the millennium back to basics 1234! Rock and Roll! sound alongside the Hives and White Stripes - just ok backwards looking revival party music harkening back to the garage. They're good at it and I see how'd they could be band to see live (for 25 minutes opening for a better act) but it's all incredibly familiar sounding and so unoriginal and the album goes on forever and ever and it's all the same. Pretty much the definition of disposable rock and as far from essential listening as you can get.
fast paced and high energy power rock. it has a very pop-esque sound, but with vulgar lyrics like these i'm not too sure i would call THOSE pop. i feel like this is the hard kind of rock that your older brother would listen to growing up, if you had an older brother. they don't fucking give a fuck motherfucker!! shit!! the energy and the instrumentals i like, but most of the lyrical content is... yeah it's not my forte. it's like middle schoolers wrote the lyrics. one song they literally go "anus! anus!!"
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
An album called "Apocalypse Dudes" ooh I don't know about this. Not great. Doesn't come from a sincere place, all style and no substance. It's like they are consciously trying to make a mash-up of every heavy rock genre from glam to proto-punk (a term I violently disagree with, but that's for another time) to hair-metal. Well executed but puerile, with some very professional (too professional) playing. Anything resembling the sonic character of heavier genres like punk - the DIY aesthetic, a garage sound, etc. - are not present on this. Maybe that's the point. The best thing here is the instrumental break on "Prince of the Rodeo" which is otherwise almost unlistenable.
I mean for an album tagged with the 'Glam Punk' label - this is exactly what I'd expect it to sound like. It has a punk drive given its speed and vocal style, but it comes with all the flashy guitar solos and soaring phrases of a hair-metal band. While undeniably goofy at times with its themes, it's a pummeling experience that I'm surprised I enjoyed as much as I did - songs like 'Selfdestructo Bust', 'Prince Of The Rodeo', and 'Rock Against Ass' were genuinely such fun punk rock tracks. Its "crudeness" comes off childish, but it's just so damn catchy and dense sounding, I can't help but bob along to a song as stupidly titled as 'Rendevous With Anus'. Good stuff honestly - infectious energy all over this album.
jock rock? Está bien pasarlo bien, pero el mejor rock fiestero no es vacío. Este rock sí delata que detrás de tanto riff no hay absolutamente nada. Ni la resaca de una buena noche de Rock.
This band is garbage. Their songs are beyond the pale. Once again why is this on this list.
I do feel like some of us doing this list have better writing skills
So at first I was like well this album may be getting a 4. I love the sound, it’s so punk and so fun, and the lyrics were kinda stupid but kinda funny. Then tracks 5 and 6 happened and I was like well now they’re down to a 3. I liked track 7. Then 8 and 9 were bleh and 10 was okay. 11 and 12 were pretty solid. And then we end on track 13. Because of that I think I’m going to land on a 2. Honestly if you could just cut out the lyrics for pretty much every song this album would be a 4 as just an instrumental.
WHY, why, WHY was this included on list??? Yes, they can play instruments but the lyrics are just so stupid. Sounds like they were written by some 12 year old kid
очень круто!
начало альбома такое красивое, мелодичное и возвышенное все чтобы тебе сказать в лицо - чел, это будет про пиццу. Пашол к черту шитпост алкоальбом: Прям пиво. Много пива
Enjoyed it
It's butt punk! Attitude and power chords of punk, but with tons of meedlies and squeedlies and silly song titles. It's wild.
What is it with Norwegians loving thrash metal? Sounds like the soundtrack at a white supremacist rally.
Solo me suena el nombre del grupo. Ya sé quienes eran. Prefiero los Hives y me han entrado ganas de escuchar Barracuda. Prescindible para mí, aunque no es malo.
Not good. Lyrics make no sense, and most songs are far too long and repetitive.
Nope.
Just a bit too manic for my middle-aged ass.
Seriously fun hard rock. 3.5/5
A blast of Scandianavian rock. This band were signalling the soon to be explosion of garage rock that was about to happen with the arrival of The Strokes and The White Stripes. They're not doing anything special (though the song titles are great), but you can't knock the fun factor. Grab a pint of snakebite and get moshing. Best Tracks: The Age of Pamparius; Get It On; Prince of the Rodeo
Good guitar useless lyrics
Would you believe that I've heard this album before? I don't remember when or where but as each song played a feeling of familiarity washed over me. Really thats just a testament to how forgettable this album is. I can't wait to forget about it again.
In a word of Steel Panther, they are meh
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.
Felt like I opened up a Tony Hawk game. It was ok, kinda repetitive. There was one part where it was like a school bell, i thought that was hard
Holy fuck that album was so fucking good i loved it. The glam mixed with punk sounds so damn good fucjk man.
Just read the titles of the songs that’s all you need to know about the quality of this “music”
Not sure how this made the list.
25% fun, 100% forgettable
Energetic punk rock from the late 1990s by the Norwegian band Turbonegro, I liked the rawness of this album, musically, but the silly lyrics was really too much. As if it was written by 12-year old teenagers who want to provoke their parents with those swear words. Should be a 2 but I round it up to 3 because some of the songs were really catchy and fun.
Nice find, liked this more than I expected. The punkier stuff was more fun than the glammier stuff, but it was all good
T. Rex + 80s punk = Good
Not really my thing.
I was expecting some real dark Scando Metal but got this odd hardened mix of Oasis, Offspring and old-school punk. A bit puerile but not a bad listen.
3.5. Definitely an enjoyable album. Fast and high energy. Some ripping guitar. Nothing super profound.
This might have been put on here as a joke but I kind of enjoyed it. The main drawbacks were the repetitive instrumentals and childish sense of humor.
Not bad.
All the instruments sound so clear and it’s not even remastered - that’s some great sound engineering. Otherwise, sounds very much like the other rock albums we’ve heard so far.
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
I’m actually a little surprised this band didn’t make it bigger, at least on the radio. It was ok, probably wouldn’t reach for the album again, but it’s a solid album. Listen again: if I stumbled across it Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: first one
Nothing special.
Very forgettable. Why is this here?
# 248 : I don't love it, I don't hate it, it's 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.
Zabavno ali jednolično
Such a strange album. Really not great. 1.5/5
Not good.
Kinda meh
This was a unique album especially given the Norwegian roots. Feels different from other rock albums but still retains that rocker essence.
Some decent rock from this group, fairly heavy stuff but good catchy riffs, pretty accessible. "Good Head" was really funny. I'm a little concerned at the name of this band, considering it's a group of white dudes from Norway. They've stated it's an anti-racist message, and that they're combining terms for "fast" and "black" as a descriptor of their music, but it's odd. Their other idea for band name was Nazipenis - real Sophie's choice between those two, huh? Anyway, the album's alright. Favorite tracks: The Age of Pamparius, Zillion Dollar Sadist, Good Head. Album art: A cool stencil-type drawing of a six-headed cobra. Gives it this old, homegrown sort of feeling, like it's a drawing you'd find in an ancient text or almanac. It's cool, and fairly memorable too, so I'd say it gets the job done. 3/5
Epic songs about pizza! Constant guitar solos! Classic glam/punk rock n roll feel! Hell yeah! This is AWESOME!!!!! For about 15 minutes. Then it gets old really fast. Turbonegro really just put the best songs first
I actually saw Turbonegro live in 2005, supporting Marilyn Manson and Iron Maiden. I don't remember much of it now, but the album is fine. I didn't listen much to the lyrics which seems to be everybody's gripe.
Not so bad
Wow, I was enjoying this until they started to sing . Really strong guitar sounds underlying it all but the lyrics and voices are inane and juvenile. Oh well. 2 stars
All the good will I felt towards the first 30 seconds of this album evaporated very quickly once the dude started singing. And then to end on one of the blandest covers ever recorded. Let's just say it's not to my taste.
Hard rock invloeden klinken heel nice bij punk, punk additude met de scheurende gitaren en strakheid van hardrock vind ik wel leuk
Eens met de reviews, lastig om door de zang heen te komen
Not quite the music for me...
At first I was expecting metal, and for the opening minute I thought I was listening to some Oasis-esque Britpop band, but no; this is catchy, hard-rockin’ punk from the US of Norway. It’s not groundbreaking but it is good fun, and there’s a run of tunes in the first half of the album that had my rating finger hovering over the four-star button. It does start to sound samey though and my enthusiasm had dipped a bit by the end.
Punk glam indie metal?. Seen to say MF a lot. Shock value ? Dont really get it.
I had pretty low hopes for this given the terrible band name. It marginally exceeded them; some of this was ok despite the sophomoric lyrics. Some of it sounded a bit like the Hives.
Some of the worst lyrics ever written.
Fun but forgettable
Stupid name, stupid lyrics, and each song is way too busy. They need some lessons on restraint.
Based on the name of the band and album I had very low expectations. They surpassed them by far. Good 90s punk and a hint of 80s cock rock. The production is great. The album has a big sound. The opening 3 songs are great. The Age of Pamparius and Prince of the Rodeo are highlights. Lyrically they aren’t exactly Bob Dylan. 7.8/10
A good punk band with great marketing.
Not my jam
in one ear and out the other
3.5
Interesting
What a stupid name for a band
Album 398 of 1001 Turbonegro - Apocalypse Dudes Rating : 2.5 / 5 Who doesn't need a little Norwegian punk to start their day? Not a masterpiece but I didn't not enjoy it. The music is better than the lyrics, which one could assume they wrote while in middle school.
Meritless mediocrity.
Life is short.
Didn’t do much to keep my attention, : /
Uff! No thanks. I thought it would be something to revisit but I didn’t like this dumb‘n‘roll in my youth and still think it’s highly overrated.
Stick with me here. This isn’t a negative review. I seemingly outgrew hard rock and hair bands in 4th grade or so. As a child of the 80s, I found these bands to be a joke. And it never seemed like the members of these bands realized how ridiculous they were being. The look. The shallowness of their lyrics, and weak songwriting in general. On the other hand when you take a band like Turbonegro, who is 100% in on the joke of all-out worship of all things rock, and the over-the-top excess of it. Well, in this context, I actually really enjoy it. A lot of these tracks remind of other bands I’m a fan of: King Gizzard, and Ween when in their hard rock/punk persona. I enjoyed a lot of this ridiculous album. That said, I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t be on a list like this.
It was fine.
Really fun and tight album. Jello Biafra approved, so that checks out. Rating 3, but it's more a 3.5 and maybe over time could move to 4.
The best thing about this album was the title of "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker". It would've fit right in with Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson! Most of the rest wasn't that great for me.
I enjoyed. Won't go back.
Never had heard of these norsefolk but I really liked it. I could have probably used just a little more hookiness to get me to 5 stars but I loved the sound and the energy!
Lyrically meh, musically it slaps.
Okay, this was a surprise. I was expecting something way more abrasive based on the track list and album artwork, but what I got was a genuinely fun album somewhere between punk and hard rock. A work of lyrical genius it is not, but I don’t get the impression that’s what they were aiming for.
Some more salty language and a bit of confusion.
Hard rock, lidt punket, ikke så appellerende
very enjoyable
This is so fuckin punk rock düd. HATE the fuckin name though. Can’t believe it was between that and “Nazipenis”. Now, the album has 13 songs, which isn’t necessarily too many, yet the album still ends up becoming repetitive. The vocals are completely lackluster and void of emotion. Instrumentally, it’s gee golly just good. The best thing they have going for them is the shock value of their titles and appearance, but if you strip all that away, you just get a glorified garage rock band. Bad? to some, average for me. 3/5
pretty fun and I'm not always the biggest fan of fun albums
Painful to listen to & couldn't finish
I always thought Turbonegro was an EDM duo for some reason, them being punk rock and around for this long is hilarious to me.
2.5 kinda over the top but it was ok
Ik had aan de naam/cover weinig vertrouwen in dit album, maar het heeft me zeker niet teleurgesteld. Ik wilde graag sporten, maar had niet zo veel zin. Om 21:45 mijzelf toch naar buiten gesleept om naar de sportschool te fietsen en dacht nou dan luister ik dit album maar, en ik kan vertellen dat dit mij er echt doorheen heeft getrokken. PR's gecrusht, machines gemaxed, bedankt! Top album dus voor in de gym, vond het erg relaxt.
Pretty good speedy punkish rock. Interesting stuff I might have liked if I heard it in the late 90's.
Shite, boring immature angry teenage garage rock
Quintessential rock and roll. This is what happens in my head when I say "Rock Out"!
I have no clue why it clicked as much as it should've for me, it's probably the punk and hair metal influences digging into it, but I loved this album.
Enjoyed the album. Never heard it as an album only one or 2 song. Was surprised a lot of energy and kind of a post punk but organized and well written arrangements. Its like a step on the punk rock movement before pop punk came into the scene. The voice sounds like kids singing with some hatred inside but nothing like old school punk of abandoned or disturbed dudes just screamming and playing instruments they didnt knew how to play. Much more compex music than early punk. One of the better albums from that era. Unfortunately it didnt have a lot of airplay in USA as they were busy with hip-hop and skipped this solid LP. The 80s rock of motley crue and glam rock era mixed with hardcore punk is a great mix. Can totally see me playing tony hawk pro slater playing this album
This was really good!!
just on the line of a little bit too heavy metal for me but a generally good listen
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
I went to into this fully expecting to absolutely hate it. Mixing punk rock with glam rock, really? Is it absolutely necessary to mix the worst kind of rock with the second worst kind of rock? The first track actually surprised me though, by mostly being gritty guitar-driven hard rock, rather than anything else. It was actually nice. Then the second track while still boating solid instrumentation was unlistenable to me due to the horrible punk vocal lines. Track three was somewhere in the middle, with somewhat annoying vocals made tolerable by rock solid guitar work. For example, Prince Of The Rodeo is straight up fire without the vocals - just release it as an instrumental track and it would be awesome. The actual instrumental track, Humiliation Street is the best example of this. It's actually great, by far the best track on the album. I'd probably give an entire album like this 5 stars. This is how the album continues. Excellent guitar work on one side, versus hardly bearable vocals on the other. Which of those sides weighs heavier depending on the track. But generally speaking, I'd massively just prefer to listen to a good hard rock album that doesn't come with any of the punk baggage dragging it down. It was really hard to rate this one. But I was forced to skip too much of it to give it more than 2 stars.
Auch nicht so doll.
This is a band that somehow missed me, but this is right up my alley. Very well done glam rock with attitude.
Generally a very good listening experience. Good energy, a heavy sound that isn't too intense as to be off-putting. Bonus points for the David Bowie cover.
Never been the biggest fan of punk, but this isn't bad.
Fraquinho, queria saber o que se passa na cabeça de quem escolheu isso
Upbeat glam rock, but with the lyrics of teenagers
Braucht niemand. Nicht direkt Lärm, aber unnötig.
favourite: prince of the rodeo, zillion dollar sadist least favourite: monkey on your back, humiliation street it's fine mayb 6/10
While this is a pretty fun glam rock record mixed with some punk elements, I did find it a bit repetitive towards the back-half of the tracklist where the songs start to sound a bit samey and also lyrically is pretty weak, especially when you mostly have tracks talking about doing procreation.
I just don't like this kind of music
I liked it! Nothing remarkable just a solid rock/glam/punk album. Never heard of these guys before.
The music wasn’t terrible but the lyrics and vocals were.
Aardige rockmuziek. Zitten leuke deuntjes bij. **
This definitely was rock and I enjoyed it. Good length, nice rocking out, very hard to take seriously. I would definitely listen again, I don’t think it necessarily set itself apart from any specific rock I’ve heard other than it’s very strange song titles but overall it was good.
The first song "The Age of Pamparius" is unquestionably the best and most ass-kicking song about pizza that I've ever heard. This is hilarious - like a punk version of The Darkness with great production and 80s level hard rock guitar sounds. It's not deep or maybe even not that good in the long run but who gives a shit when you're rocking against ass (????). It's fun tongue-in-cheek (OR IS IT) guitar rock to appeal to 70s punk, 80s hair metal, and 90s alt-rock all at once. 7/10 3 stars
Hmm. Sorry but not really for me
Some fine lyricism going on here. "Gimme teen machine, and i like it yes i do So young, firm and clean, and i like it, love it" "don't need no budget boob Don't need no funky lube" "Walk the streets, what do i see Shit on legs approaching me" "Eyeball ass - eyeball stuck!" "I tell you what you need, It's some hanky-action baby I wanna hear you scream in denim ecstasy" "Hi-ridin' daddy-o Spur-hump heyho let's go Fornicator of the lasso Sperminator of the asshole" "'Cause i got a headache in my pants" "Do you wanna suck the goat tonight" ""You claim the monkey shaved your balls" "Classy asses to the left and right Have you ever been laid, she said Fuck you. I'd rather have some good head" Started out thinking this was the dumbest shit I've heard but ended up enjoying it. It's fun.
It's got a nice sound, combining punk and metal, although sometimes not blending together well. Some of the lyrics could easily fit into unfunny comedy rock. I thought this would be a more serious record. It's not bad but could do better. Apocalypse Dudes gets 3 stars.
A pesar de que entiendo que este LP puede tener cierta relevancia contextual con respecto al desarrollo de la escena de rock duro de los 2000s, se siente como una ridícula pieza de época, con un sonido desarmado, sin dirección y con muchas pretensiones que no son validadas por interpretaciones vocales y líricas mediocres y casi irrisibles. De tener que destacar algo, me iría por el trabajo de las guitarras, batería y bajo de Turbonegro y nada más.
Didn’t care for it. 2 stars.
Meh
The music is fun, the lyrics are childish. It's a good time overall, though, as long as you don't take it too seriously. Shame I didn't discover them when I was 12 years old because I'd have been all about it.
If not for the very peurile humour, this Stooges rip off would have had very short shrift, but poo and sex jokes elevate it to mediocrity
What wasted potential. The band is really good and Euroboy plays some excellent guitar, but….. the “vocalist” and lyricist is/are soooo bad. The lyrics are some of the stupidest and most juvenile I have ever heard; and they all sounded out of date, even for the time in which it was written. It sounds like it was written and sung by some pimply-faced fourteen year old kid. Even the album cover and title are adolescent. A song about a pizza? Really? “Right on, get it on” shouted over and over like it was a profound rock anthem. They must have said “denim” and/or “dungaree” in at least four songs. Rock Against Ass? Are you kidding me. Profanity was used just to try and sound tough and shocking or “hip”. So pathetically stupid it made me laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Instrumentalists get four stars - vocalist/lyricist get none. I’ll have to settle on two.
Not interested
- Ich bin mit 0 Erwartungen in das Album gegangen, nach dem ich den recht polarisierenden Wikipediaeintrag gelesen hatte waren Meine Erwartungen eher negativ - Ertaunlicher Weise hat es mir dann doch richtig gut gefallen - Die Mischung aus Hard-Rock und Punk fand ich echt cool! - Hat mich zeitweise ein bisschen an eine moderne Version von Motörhead erinnert - Gute Energie, coole Riffs und Licks - Das Album fängt super an, nimmt aber hintenraus definitv auch ab - Die Band ist mir jetzt nicht sonderlich sympathisch (wobei die durchaus Elemente haben, die ich irgendwie lustig finde), rein musikalisch gefällt mir das aber insgesamt ganz gut! Rating: 3,5/5
- Namen schon sehr häufig gehört. Mucke von denen aber noch gar nicht. - Solides Punk-Album, kann mir gut vorstellen, dass diese Band seine Einflüsse auf Bands wie Turnstile, Squid oder Hot Mulligan hatte - leider ist nicht wirklich viel hängen geblieben, obwohl ich ganze Zeit ziemlich gut unterhalten war. 3/5
- Puuuunk - Get It On finde ich zb sehr gut und ist mal ein Song, der im Kopf geblieben ist - generell ein cooles Album
Shades of both the Ramones and the Hives in this glammy Norwegian band. Crude but a lot of fun.
I really enjoy the intro to their very first song. Instantly hooked. So far, it sounds like something my mom would like /pos. I kind of just feel like I'm in a coming-of-age movie montage while this plays. Also a lot of the more common genres of rock don't appeal to me that much, they sound kind of corny most of the time. These guys especially kind of sound like if Mordecai and Rigby had a real band. Like this is exactly the music they'd make.
It was fun until it was too much
Malalatèt
norskt tittlingarokk. ef þetta var fyrirboði einhvers hef ég blessunarlega misst að honum. 2
Starts off strong and keeps a consistent vibe but I like the voices of other rock bands like this better and the songs don't stand out a lot.
Inte särskilt bra.
There is nothing about this album that sounds unique by 1998 standards. It may have been influential in Norway to the average Sven, but certainly, people who were into music had access to similar sounds long before this. It’s all derivative and I’m annoyed it was included on this list. 1.5
Quick analysis is that it's good. But given more thought, I think I love the lead guitar player and drummer, while I'm not keen on the rest. The open and close of the album sounds so much like Spinal Tap that it can't be a coincidence. It's a rocker for sure. Kinda cool that they're Norwegian. 3.6
Perfect soundtrack for Beavis&Butthead
rad
Solid enjoyable punk rock album. In classic punk fashion they sing about everything and nothing throughout the album. Gave me Beastie Boys vibes at times which lines up with when the album came out. Probably wouldn't be at the top of my list to come back to but not something I wouldn't listen to again.
The fuck is this bs
I really would've liked these guys when I was in middle school. Too bad you grow out of this stuff, unless you're the guys from Jackass. 3/5
Shit lyrics and uninspired music.
Pretty fun album. It was exactly what I thought it'd be based on the description, so - in that regard - it didn't disappoint.
This is just ok. Really don’t like the production, it does not allow the music to shine. It is all really derivative and I genuinely do not get why this on the list. And a called ‘Good Head’ just came on. Is it a parody? How tiresome and juvenile. A star off for that alone Music for 15 year old boys
Very interesting mix of guitar-driven glam rock and punk, both genres that I love - but unfortunately, kind of falls in the weird area between genres. It’s generally enjoyable, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. A little juvenile in general with the lyrics, but music like this isn’t exactly intended to be highbrow to begin with. Will definitely be coming back to some of the songs, because it’s a fun listen. But as a full album, it’s not overly compelling.
The last band I expected to see on this list. Are you ready for the darkness. I am ready and give 3 stars.
It goes on and on with a fat and fast sound, a great pleasure to listen to.
Currently I have listened just the first track and all the other reveiws seems to be corect. What in the hell are those lyrics comoered to the flow of the songs. The music itself is somewhat enjoyable but dumb pizza lyrics take away the whole seriosness. If the song doesnt take itself serious wtf am I supposed to do. Personally it could get 3
Kinda great actually, didnt expect to like it as much as i did! One of the worst band names though.
4-
This isn’t entirely terrible, but I can NOT get past the lyrics
Not really sure what this is trying to do. Is it fun? It is pastiche?
Cover Impressions: not expecting this to be an album id enjoy, but sometimes those are the ones that surprise me. LOL What a surprise. I did not expect to be baking a motherf*cking pizza tonight, but you pretty much have to after that opening track. I'm a big fan of silly songs, but I'll admit they can wear out their welcome pretty quick. "Rock against Ass" sure sounds like a silly song, but I don't quite get it. Then there are many more tracks that are just a bunch of teenage immature nonsense. Yes, I'm aware how old I sound saying that. High school me probably would have loved this, maybe not for the right reasons, but it is what it is. Favorite track "Age of Pamparaius" 2/5
Enjoyable for punk music. I may come back to this in the future.
Was alright
Apparently I like death punk. Who knew?
Nice
There are bands that just, well are - Kraftwerk, Roxy Music, peak Stones - and then there are the 'What if..' bands. Here the proposal is 'Imagine if Tom of Finland dressed a band blending Ramones/Dictators with rock guitar solos.' Well the results are a bit derivative, and it's hard to know how to take their 'Ass Cobra''Scandinavian Leather' gay/trans stylings. Some kick ass tunes, but really nothing distinctive on record. Can agree they are probably awesome live.
This is not for me. Didn’t finish. Ick.
No
Belle découverte d'un groupe norvégien. De bons sons de guitare ça brasse bien. Les paroles sont moyennes.
Childish but good punk
Surprise c'est pas mal
What do you want to say... To me, all of these groups seem the same and I don't know what criteria the critic uses to classify them as better than others. Bored!
Better than I expected. Pretty straight forward rock and roll record. Much different than anything else coming out in 98. I enjoyed it. Got a Hanoi Rocks vibe to it, especially on Humiliation Street. I am giving it a four because it was strong throughout. Not really a dud on the album.
Dude can play guitar - as he shows by playing lots of notes, often at the same time at a high pitch. Ho hum.
Satunnaisia kappaleita kuullut aikaisemmin, mutta en koskaan levyllistä kerralla. Tykkäsin menosta ja herätti poltteen kuunnella enemmän.
Hauska, suoran toiminnan levy
This album features some fascinating lyrical choices, such as: “Merging Zeus and Spartacus In ren-ren-ren-ren-rendezvous with anus” Nonetheless, if you ignore the lyrics you get some pretty cool rock to listen to in the background. Should it be an album to listen to before you die, perhaps not… Did I have a fun time listening to it? Yes. Shockingly….. tempted to give it a 3.5 … it feels wrong to round it up to 4 and yet,,,,,,,,,,,,, I’m going to
Good, straightforward punk rock with a bit of 90s indie/alt feel to it Fun energy, but I don’t feel the need to ever return to this one
Cool, but not immediately attention-grabbing. Any one of these songs would fit in well on pretty much any of my playlists, but I don't think anyone would feel the need to search out who the artist was. Very good, but not great. I will listen to their other stuff when I get a chance though.
Initially I wasn't sure what this album was in the top 1001 albums, especially as I'd never heard of the band before today and assumed that they were only included because they're Norwegian. But the album is solid rock and is actually quite good.
A couple standouts, but lots of kind of standard punk stuff that isn’t really memorable.
These guys sound talented enough, but this type of music just isn’t my thing nowadays
It’s alright. some head rocking required
Typical punk rock
Not my thing
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!
I had never heard this record before. In general punk isn’t my favorite genre, but I love top-tier punk when I listen to it in the right setting. I just so happened to listen to this in the gym and it was awesome. I love the guitar tones and musicianship on this album. The guitars sound great and there’s more solos than expected on a punk record. There are hints of early Weezer in several songs (Rock Against Ass is a good example). Lots of melody for punk. Loved it
First listen: I love these guys. Garage rock / punk. Very fun.
That was fun to listen, although I think the album started out really strong with the first song, then none of the other ones really lived up to it
Tried a couple of time to get into this one but I couldn't. It's not bad but not something that peaks my interest.
Maybe back in 98 when this album came out, the 17 year old me would of liked this, but not really a fan. A few tracks remind me of The Offspring....which I listened to alot in the mid-90s.
Never heard this band before... can't yet make my mind up if I like it or not. Might need to listen again and possibly track down some of their other albums. All in all, glad it was on the list to add something "new" to try.
The hell?
