Apocalypse Dudes

Mostly lame songs with embarrassingly bad lyrics. Its one saving grace is that none of the originals are as bad as the horrifically butchered cover of Suffragette City which I am choosing to ignore as its technically a bonus track.

Break out the Natty Lights and turn it up boys! It's time to show mom just how much we don't give a shit about her dumb rules.

A cheesy ass glam rock album. It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s fun at times but other times it’s just corny. I could have died without it.

This is a laughable album. Not a serious work. Swear words thrown in why? Not the worst I’ve heard on this list but barely above a 1.

Like a cross between The Hives and Spinal Tap. I'm not feeling the love for this. It's OK in small bursts but the whole album is boring me .

Reminds me of an Offspring B-sides album, but with lyrics written by a 13 year old.

Music was alright but lyrics were stupid.

Salad and violent to the ears

Never heard of this band or album before, and after a single play I'm not sure whether this album should be on this list! Re-hashed matal/glam/punk tropes with risible lyrics.

Some of the song titles were pretty funny. As for the music, it was way too overproduced for my taste. Everything was sparkly clean even though the guitars were distorted. And the songs were just okay.

Generic and uninspired. Like a fake band from a Disney channel movie.

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.

it was fine at first, but as it neared the end i just wanted it to be over lol

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

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

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

Build up in the age of pamperius was notable & everything else not

Too loud for my taste.

Weird-ish punk-ish album. Some interesting sounds but didnt really hit for me. On the two side of 2.5.

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.

Get it on was a rammer Other than that BORED

Heikohkoa suroittamista mutta natsavaaa musiikkia kitaraa vingutusta ja ovela esiimtyjä nimi...

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…

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.

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.

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

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 ???

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.

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.

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

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.

Just a bit too manic for my middle-aged ass.

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.

25% fun, 100% forgettable

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.

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

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.

Such a strange album. Really not great. 1.5/5

Kinda meh

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.

Not quite the music for me...

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.

Stupid name, stupid lyrics, and each song is way too busy. They need some lessons on restraint.

Not my jam

in one ear and out the other

Didn’t do much to keep my attention, : /

Some more salty language and a bit of confusion.

Hard rock, lidt punket, ikke så appellerende

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

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.

Upbeat glam rock, but with the lyrics of teenagers

The music wasn’t terrible but the lyrics and vocals were.

Aardige rockmuziek. Zitten leuke deuntjes bij. **

Hmm. Sorry but not really for me

Didn’t care for it. 2 stars.

Meh

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.

Malalatèt

norskt tittlingarokk. ef þetta var fyrirboði einhvers hef ég blessunarlega misst að honum. 2

Inte särskilt bra.

Perfect soundtrack for Beavis&Butthead

Shit lyrics and uninspired music.

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

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

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

Nice

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!

Dude can play guitar - as he shows by playing lots of notes, often at the same time at a high pitch. Ho hum.

These guys sound talented enough, but this type of music just isn’t my thing nowadays

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.

Everything about this is cringy. The name, the lyrics, the band's politics and opinions. I feel dumber having learned of these guys. I didn't hate it but I won't be revisiting this album.

Idk if this is supposed to be parody or not but I got a chuckle here and there. That doesn’t mean the lyrics aren’t supremely childish though. Like ‘good head’? Is this middle school? I was going to give it three stars, cause there’s still some fun riffs here, but then I found out they’re flat earthers. That’s stupid.

It was a decent album. Surprisingly I did not hate it. It was more of a punk album. None of the songs really stood out but I didn't skip any. It was a little too long.

Almost bearable punk with almost unbearable vocals. Low 2.

Just not good. Thumbs down for lyrics and vocals.

It was an album composed of multiple songs where music was involved as well as lyrics

(ntm.)

This just is uninteresting for me. It's like AC/DC with punk, but not in any way that is good. It's also corny. 1.5/5

Sounds like the public domain version of the THPS4 soundtrack.

Punk??

I've never heard of this album or artist before, so I had no idea what I was in for with this album. As the first track started, I thought there was a good chance that I was going to love this album. I loved the piano intro and how the heavy guitar riff was slowly worked in over it. Unfortunately, that was about as much of the album as I enjoyed. I'll admit that I enjoyed a lot of the guitar playing throughout the album, but there still really isn't that much of a unique sound from song to song, and there's really nothing interesting happening with the other instruments. The lyrics are... well, odd to say the least. At their best, they're nonsensical, and at their worst, they're nonsense with the occasional swear word tossed in to no effect. I think the only other nice thing that I can say about this album is that it probably wouldn't be terrible to work out to, but then again, there's about 1000 other things I'd rather listen to while working out. Overall, there's just nothing of note happening on this album, and I have no idea how the author of the 1001 Albums book came across this and decided to include it. Fun fact: I said "Turbonegro" out loud five times, and now I'm a GOP Senator.

This album is absolutely what I hoped it would not be after the first 2 tracks – a kind of PS2 butt rock soundtrack. If you were to just listen to a random song off this album, it’s probably a great burst of energy. Like, if you threw this album into a workout playlist and had a song occasionally come up on shuffle, I’m sure it would be a great boost. Yet, as a listening experience for a whole album, due to the lack of variance, it’s absolutely the least enjoyable of what we’ve done so far, at least to my ears, and I’m rating it a 2.

Didn't need to hear this weirdly unironic album. Did they listen to Kiss and Spinal Tap and want to mock it or honor it? No idea but wasn't a fan

Previous Familiarity: None This is the first album of this project that I had never heard of. After hearing it, it could have stayed that way. This is the generic quasi-punk meets hard-rock sound that the Ramones coasted on in the 80's. This was the sound of the Ramones in their least interesting phase, and apparently where Turbonegro live . Sounds like they're having fun, but unfortunately I wasn't.

Good guitar work, really well produced, but this album felt good for about 2 minutes and then It turns into weird mix of Glam metal and Ramones with some bad vocals and strange lyrics. For me It is kind weird for this album to be on this list, It does not feels memorable at all (I listened to worst stuff so far, but they were important somehow), so I went to look at the book and found this explanation below: " When other European rockers of the '90s were being influenced by Pearl Jam, Sevendust, or Radiohead, Oslo, Norway's Turbonegro decided to provide a throwback to the decadent, hedonistic glam metal, heavy metal, and hard rock of the '70s and '80s. Combine the influence of punk rock with traces of Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest, or Quiet Riot, and you've got Apocalypse Dudes, an in-your-face album that thrives on wild, rowdy, bratty fun. The whole thing is decidedly over-the-top, and titles like "Good Head," "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker," "Rock Against Anus," and "Zillion Dollar Sadist" end up turning this CD into a very entertaining and humorous caricature of pop-metal, hard rock, and punk. In fact, it's hard to miss the parallels between Apocalypse Dudes and Spinal Tap. But outrageousness alone wouldn't make this CD worthwhile — thankfully, Turbonegro has a lot of catchy, infectious hooks to back itself up. Alex Henderson" Personally, I feel that Spinal Tap is way better. 2/5

Not my jam

Bored me immensely

"I aint no architech Aint got the intellect" "Fornicator of the lasso Sperminator of the asshole" "Cheap thrills done and the dirt cheap ants 'Cause I got a headache in my pants" I was considering just leaving these actual lyrics from actual songs in here just by themselves, as they say a lot about the quality, but it wouldnt be fair to the music. The instrumental are quite nice, they sound punky, ramonesey, there is energy behind them. Some song progressions are nice, some solos are cool. The lyrics and vocals tho? Shiiiet, why bother? If its your fourth album, and these are the lyrics you are coming up with, just give up man. Most importantly, its most definitely not an important you really have to check before you croak. If you dont like punk like this, you arent going to get anything out of it, and if you, there are hundreds of bands that did it better, before and after this record. Significant 24/68 Liked 10/68 Added 3/68

English is clearly not their first language because the lyrics are cringe.

yeah this album didn't really move me. it's fine enough. not my preferred type of music but listenable. but uhh,,, the band name??? i had never heard of them, it seems like it's supposed to be ironic, at least according to wikipedia (based on what their other choice was) but then they made up some dumb story about no it's fast and dark! like our music! and i think that makes it worse somehow. antiracist or not, it feels like maybe not something we should go to the norse for.

Decent rock-style instrumentals mixed with mediocre pop punk-style vocals. 2.5 stars.

Dumb. The whole "punk rock party" thing was done better by Andrew WK and it wasn't even punk. Songs come and go and are barely interesting, just power chord after boring power chord. Lyrics are impressively bad and maybe you can argue "well that's the point!" Well that doesn't change the fact that I don't enjoy listening to it. This reminds me of what the Darkness went on to do except Turbonegro has more of a punk edge to it. Still, I think it's bad.

This does not qualify as metal. At best it’s pop punk.

I enjoyed the guitar work on this, and there's a glimmer of what could be some fun, hard party rock songs here. However the lyrical content is trying to hard to be edgy, it comes across as cringey and immature, unfortunately that spoils the whole record.

Mostly boring?

Tony Hawk music. I keep having to look at the song title to figure out if what I’m hearing is what they are actually singing about. Sure enough, ass… motherfucking… anus… “I got a headache in my pants” this is just one of those bands that can sing about anything and just brush over it. “Do you want to be a dirty boy?” “do you want to suck the cock tonight?” “You claimed the monkey shaved your balls” “sperminator of the asshole” The fuck am I listening to? Teenage boys going through puberty? I’m not a lyrics person but when the lyrics are so blatantly obnoxious it breaks me out of the song I have to dock points. I’m sure if I was 13 years old I would find this album great but those numbers are reversed and my taste has expanded beyond chicken nuggets and cheese pizza. Other than the lyrics being trash, the music felt like generic rock, punk. All I can say is “fuck you. I’d rather have some good head.” 4/10

You ever wanted to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater but have the music just be a little heavier and a lot worse? Then boy do I have the album for you! As a fan of the punk genre this hurts me but boy is this a let down. The album starts strong with the first 2 tracks but progressively gets worse the further you go and listen. After the first 2 tracks the music becomes average at best and in some songs downright butt rock. The lyrics are some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life and if you like Beavis and Butthead then I guess you'll like this stuff. 4/10

Music was decent but the lyrics and song titles are beyond stupid. Maybe this was a joke or some other comedic stunt but it didn't work for me. In a way a shame because I do hear talent amongst the musicians.

Not really my taste

Kinda boring

Nothing special

The lyrics were very silly on this album. The music itself was fine but not something I’d come back to again. The lyrics unfortunately take away from this album for me

is it weird to say that this album bored me?

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

Glam punk, glam metal. Rollo.

So many better bands in this genre than Turbonegro. High school band wanting to be a bit punk and a bit harder rock. Lots of noise

What in Halo: Combat Evolved skateboard dorito chip is this shit and why is it on the list. Listening to the whole album on Spotify seems like the wrong way to consume this. I should be listening to crusty MIDIs of these songs while looking at a GIF of a flaming skull on an old GeoCities site. I love dumb music, but this is sadly kind of boring. Wasting such perfect song names like "Rendezvous with Anus" on a bootleg The Hives track.

Only slightly better than metal, slightly.

say it with me. fourth studio album. So much energy in this album. Not sure how you manage this night after night without some drugs involved. or ADHD. Some people walk against cancer. they rock against ass. Some people have booty calls. They have rendevouz with anus.

While there are standouts in Age of Pamparius, Zillion Dollar Sadist, and their cover of Bowie's Suffragette City for great guitar work, unfortunately the crass lyrics hold this group back.

An interesting snapshot of just how amateur rock had gotten before it really started to die out. There is an interesting DIY feel to the album, but due to the lyricism and boring instrumentation, I wanted others to do it for them by the end.

Kinda sounds like The Ramones had a baby with some poppy hard rock band like KISS. Some of it isn't TOO bad, but it all eventually blurs together into a mash of chugging guitar, wanky solos, and juvenile humor. Not for me.

*snore*

It sounds ok, I guess. It's energetic and loud, and the guitar player is pretty hot stuff, but the singer is rubbish and the adolescent sniggering lyrics and rock and roll posturing wear a bit. I mean, I can see the appeal, but it really wears its influences on its sleeve, so why wouldn't you just listen to Ziggy Stardust or any Motorhead record or something instead?

Really? I thought I had gotten through all of the lame ass, okay-guitars-shitty-voice, obnoxious punk albums earlier on this list. I'm completely over albums like this at this point so I'm just going to discuss my thoughts on the director's cut woodstock documentary I watched today: It's the best concert doc I've ever seen. It gives a perfect feel of what it would've been like to be there for the full three days and also does a great job of contextualizing how the event became what it was. My favorite parts were just the slice of life looks at how people acted and what they did in between sets as well as how the event functioned logistically. The sets were almost all great but I was surprised that they mostly avoided the most popular songs from each featured artist (i want to take you higher and purple haze being the most notable exceptions) and didn't show ccr or the band which were personal bummers. Joe Cocker was probably my favorite raw performance due to the sheer energy (it looks like he's having a full-body seizure at all times) and I can't recall one that I actively disliked. Overall, it was not only a great documentary but a piece of history in and of itself that functions as an archive of the greatest musical event ever. Also, I don't think I would've appreciated the doc as much had I not been doing this list because people like Joan Baez would've gone completely over my head while the doc simultaneously added context to some of the albums on the list I've gotten like Country Joe and the Fish and Joan Baez. This dumb punk album gets a 2 but this documentary gets a 5.

Very little to recommend here

Anthems for a mid-life crisis.

Sounded like garage band punk. Less singing more yelling lyrics. Lots of swearing. Overall loud, not the worst thing I've ever heard but I'm notbsure I'd recommend it to anyone

I was hoping for some Metalocolypse style fun. The cover has it, but the album really doesn't. The opening track is maybe something but the lyrics are too absurd, Get It On is almost enjoyable but the the lyrics are, well, nothing. And those are the high points. Whatever these guys are aiming for they've missed.

I really don't know what to make of this. I don't hate the music; punky with a little more metal than I'd normally like. The lyrics, though, are something else, and not in a good way. The album gets really samey too.

This got old fast. I get the whole retro glam metal shtick, and Turbonegro is perfectly adept at what they're doing, but what's missing is any sense of charisma. The lyrics are purposefully dumb, which isn't necessarily a problem, but without being entertaining at all. I imagine this band is fun live, but I could have lived without hearing this album. Fave Songs: Humiliation Street,Prince of the Rodeo, Zillion Dollar Sadist, Back to Dungaree High

the beats are cool but the lyrics are a bit silly, very mid

Whatevs

hmm. Not great dudes, not great.

Instantly forgettable punk rock.

Very mid

Like I said it’s basically Tim’s review but if you weren’t in the mood for this type of album. Shit is fucking dumb as hell and I hate that the instrumentals are often good cuz I want to give it a 1. The singing and lyrics are so god damn bad but I respect the dedication to the theme.

Not my thing.

вообще не мой жанр

sounds like untalented teenagers playing The Hives (if that's not tautologous). If you love sub-South Park childish swearing and rudimentary rock tunes this is the album for you

4/10 perfectly fine punk music with lyrics that make it very difficult to listen to

Just find this type of music boring, sorry.

Overall the album had a lot of promise. Besides the odd name, The instrumentals are unique and some sound like classic rock and some are more alternative and punk. They are taken down a notch with their cheap false edgy lyricism. Overall there are songs similar to the who and good bands but given that they made this album twenty something years after those sounds were popular they ruined the tone with the mid 2000s tone of saying a bunch of things that don’t have substance. 4.7/10

Forgettable punk rock, not sure it deserves its place on the list.

At first, I thought it was aight but just really cringe lyrics—but it just seemed to get worse the longer I listened to it

The very introduction fooled me - I thought it was going to be folky rock, but nope.

Not into punk

Not really a fan of punk music but at least there is some decent guitar playing on this one. I think it’s way too derivative to be included in this list. It’s a bummer when you hear 5 seconds of a record and immediately know what the rest of it is going to sound like, but that’s most punk records I guess.

Highlights: "Zillion Dollar Sadist" Here's a narrative: rock music has a boomerang in the 90s where it gets grunge, basically sorts out these fresh timbres and higher fidelity, and then reapplies them to the preexisting genres in a regression until we get all the way to the blues under curatorial pretensions with Beck, Black Keys, and White Stripes, guys Seeking to Imbue Simple Structures with Deeper Meaning. Turbonegro is at the inflection point of regression to hair metal, where people are thinking "hey, what if we took 90s rock and instead of it being about being a loser we made it about being perverts again." The performance of Westminster quarters in distorted harmonics can only be a reference to Cheap Trick as far as I know, and all that that implies. It does manage to sound like the climax of a song for the entire album. The solos are pretty rote but in "Zillion Dollar Sadist" and "Good Head" he does have these inspired intervals in the middle of some ascending lines. In the end, I don't know what I'm trying to appreciate. It's ultimately a Scandinavian response to pop punk of the earlier '90s, and then what? It's the Hives except the band's original name is Nazipenis and they're singing about sodomizing teenagers. Why did I need to listen to this?

ALMOST nothing interesting about this whatsoever. At least they are playing well?

Questionable. Dumb. Sort of fun at points. But felt like a very long album of similar stuff.

i'd play THPS to this for sure.

This was okay I guess. Nothing really that special. Maybe it was in Norway which is why it landed on this list. But by 1998, there was better sounding, better implemented, better written punk and rock out there. And the name of the band, while probably not negatively intentioned, is not going to help them. I had not heard of them before today. And it's likely I will never hear them again.

Not so good.

A generous 2. Tiresome.

Why would you ever want to try to resurrect glam metal in the late 90s

sounds like untalented teenagers playing The Hives (if that's not tautologous). If you love sub-South Park childish swearing and rudimentary rock tunes this is the album for you

Glam punk, glam metal. Rollo

High energy, hectic sound, you really need to be in the right mood. I wasn't.

Hard repetitive rock

A bit of an awkward band name (not to worry, it means fast and dark), but an alright album. I did expect something more different, maybe a twist on rock music or some unusual touches by way of sound effects or unique instruments. Instead, it just sounded like generic, radio-friendly rock music with some not-radio-friendly lyrics. There WERE good songs, like Prince of the Rodeo, Humiliation Street, and their Suffragette City cover. The rest though, sadly pretty forgettable!

Silly, irreverent, memey. I don’t really enjoy the songs too much but I respect the sense of humor and energy in them. 4/10

I'm going to give this album an extra point for having songs called "Rock Against Ass" and "Rendezvous with Anus." I played those two songs several times and they rank higher for making me laugh out loud. In fact, the best part of this album were the ever-so-slightly ungrammatical or curiously pronounced gratuitous obscenities that made me think of naughty 13-year-old Norwegian boys. However, upon listening to the whole album again, I came to the same conclusion as I did the first time: that this was for the most part both unpleasant and boring to listen to. Except of course when they ended that one song by shouting "Anus! Anus!" Pure gold.

No, thank you. Not the worst thing I ever heard, but also not at all something I need in my life. The opening bars of the first track had my ears perk up, but then it just turned to nothing special to me…maybe even a little irritating at times.

Not what I was hoping for.

Edgy to be edgy, and boring because of it

Pretty raw rock n roll which I an appreciate it, but really not that interesting to me. 2/5

Nothing special. Would not listen again.

punk rock no stand outs 2.5

Not bad, but a longer album perhaps than they should have done.

tá de sacanagem

Good start but the end got a bit redundant

first song was solid, the rest of it was ehh to bad.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro (1998) This is Norwegian ‘deathpunk’, according to the band. But it’s curiously light on actual death, and is virtually non-apocalyptic. One could even argue that it is anti-apocalyptic, but that would be taking it too seriously. Sometimes we should simply acknowledge that the artists are being lucratively provocative. The best explanation of the album title is the opening track “The Age of Pamparius”, which is actually a commercial for an Oslo pizzeria. So don’t get all excited. These Norwegian rockers were called “Turboneger” in the home country, but apparently someone suggested being less racially offensive for Anglo and American audiences. I’m not sure it made any difference. Let’s just say the lyrics are naughty and unrefined, with a penchant for a shallow but ‘shocking’ fixation on the profane, the pornographic, the scatological and the nether parts. Lightly camouflaged references to rock standards from the English-speaking world indicate a profound lack of lyrical imagination. Musically, however, if the listener can dispense with the need for melody, he/she can experience well produced and splashy rock, with fast paced, driving rhythms, power chords, fine guitar riffs, and heavy percussion—nice for when one’s head could use some banging. Knut “Euroboy” Schreiner is an excellent lead guitarist. The more cultivated fans of punk (I’m speaking to Mark, Jessy, and Nick here) will appreciate the advance from the lo-fi garage band sound. The musical and technological craft on this album is very good indeed. I didn’t know the Norwegians had it in them. 2/5

I couldn’t enjoy it. It felt like a Norwegian band trying to be an American punk band. The lyrics felt like either a thirteen year old wrote them or someone used Google Translate after watching SLC Punk. There are elements that show they are solid at punk/glam rock guitar but where are the hooks? And this is 1998, when punk is already grown up. So many great albums before this. Not sure why this was on the list. It wasn’t new. It wasn’t poignant. It didn’t even feel offensive in the way that punk is meant to be. If you ignore the lyrics, most of it was maybe good enough to be on a punk mix tape.

Hm I can see why a lot of people would be into this but it's v niche isn't it with the juvenile vocals and lyrics, Nordic metal/rock vibes etc. It is a little bit Eurovision... but not in a good way for me. I don't love it but can see how it could be entertaining. Not for me.

Eugh god just non-descript boring rock. it wasn't AWFUL but I certainly didn't enjoty it

This occasionally had elements I really liked, some good punk bits and actually good rock bits but the overall sound was very forgettable and soulless. Not terrible but nothing special.

Nonsense

In dit genre zijn wel betere dingen te vinden.

Ergens vind ik dit nog best geinig. Lekker non-nonsense recht door het midden rock. Maar het mist juist ook enige diepgang of echte drive. Niet echt iets voor herhalling.

Unremarkable

Good fun a for a while, but overall pretty bland. It just got very samey, slipped down to a 2 by the end.

This was fine but I didn’t really pay attention and don’t feel like I missed out.

“A huge, FAT sound.”

2/5 not really.

Eh... at some point, the reputation of over-the-top rock bands like Motley Crue and Kiss usurped the actual music and created this larger-than-life rock-n-roll monstrosity. It made for great comedy fodder in Wayne's World, but since then there have been a number of tongue-firmly-in-cheek bands like Steel Panther and Turbonegro who play some amped up version of the larger-than-life rockstar. Steel Panther lingers in the hair metal genre while Turbonegro is more of a sloppy blend of punk, hard rock, and metal. I suppose if that's your thing... you want something like The Sword or Queens of the Stone Age but more tongue-in-cheek. It's safer than Brainbombs and less charismatic than Queens of the Stone Age side project Eagles of Death Metal. As you can see, there's no lack of bands to compare them to, which is the problem. None of this is original. None of this stands out. It's not funny to see people behaving badly, there is nothing to distinguish the people making fun of the assholes from the actual assholes. There's no such thing as ironically being a dick. So what you're left with is pretty uninteresting music. It's probably fun to the people who like this sort of thing. But I'd rather listen to Grinderman and hear it from a top tier songwriter like Nick Cave.

Genre: Glam Punk 2/5 Turbonegro, a self-dubbed “death punk” group from Norway, was one of the few groups synthesizing glam rock and punk in the 90s, and this album in particular, Apocalypse Dudes, is one of the most heralded that the genre has to offer, apparently. For me, the sheer textural blandness, the formulaic nature of nearly every song here, and the near-parodical amount of profanity, leave this album with much to be desired. While songs like Humiliation Street show that they’re not all bad, cuts like Rendezvous with Anus and Rock Against Ass end up sounding more like Weird Al than Black Flag.

A new album and a new artist for me. In some cases this album sounded like generic rock - not much to notice. There was some punk energy to some of the tracks. Only a few tracks got me to feel the music and take in more of what I was listening to. More noticible than the occasional okay track was the lyrical content which sank this album for me. I would not listen again.

A bit bland really. Nothing new that makes me want to listen to anything more by this band.

bastard child precursor of janes addiction and godspeed with a commercial metallica feel

2.4 - Norwegian kids got psyched about some Warrant and Slaughter music videos and decided to emulate the sound and look. They read every music magazine interview, dutifully practiced their instruments, got rock haircuts, learned to curse like Americans. They almost perfectly emulate the sound of the LA hard rock scene but they’re definitely trying too hard. Too much gratuitous swearing (“Don’t Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker”) and some strange moments where I wonder if lyrics got lost in translation (“Rock Against Ass”). A few screaming guitar solos can’t redeem the endeavor since the record sounds like it was mixed by a chimp. Extra points deducted for terrible band name. Derivative and pointless.

A bit too much pogo for me.

Seems to desperately want to be offensive but doesn't actually go that far, carries the tunes for the majority of the album. Maybe being a bit harsh as it's mostly thrashing guitars and don't enjoy that type of music. Smacks more of US punk than Norwegian rock .2.4

2/5

Apparently this band almost called themselves "Nazipenis". I wish this music was provocative, but this is just pretty lame glam rock

inte min punk, dock variation

While there is some decent music here, the vocals are way sub-par. A couple of the tracks work all right for me - Prince of the Rodeo is a highlight - and the camp factor is high. But all in all, it's a pass.

When I saw this album was published by Scandinavian Leather Recordings and the cover art, I immediately assumed this was going to be a Finnish death metal band. Why? Well, I’ve spent some time in the Finnish southwestern archipelago, riding speed boats, refusing nude sauna hang outs (a prude…I know), and detonating explosives at 10:45 pm in the most beautiful twilight (legal I assure you). And let me tell you, the Finnish people love death metal. In fact, Finland has the highest number of death metal bands per capita of any country. They love death metal so much that they got a bunch of my mates in to it. When the Finns would visit us, my mates got back stage access to some touring death metal bands, including the after parties too. It was a whole scene apparently. Anyway, Turbonegro is Norwegian and not Finnish. This album is a borderline-ish rating for me, but ultimately falls short of 3 stars. At least it wasn’t death metal, which I really don’t care for.

Not bad, nothing stood out though

“Initially, the band had two running ideas for band names: Nazipenis and Turbonegro. They were advised that a band named Nazipenis would never sell records, so they chose Turbonegro as a more consumer-friendly choice.”

Would make for a fun concert or garage band jam session. Sound quality, sophomoric lyrics and repetitive woahs wore on me.

There was a time when I would have been well into this and lapped it up. Maybe I’m being a bit too quick to brush over it as the same old emo-punk that I’ve heard a zillion times before. But that’s what I’m gonna do and if I wanna listen to some emo I’ll sniff around elsewhere. Out the back by the bins...I think there’s an old blink 182 greatest hits out there. I’ll stick that on if I have to.

Let me firstly say that the sound on this album is f@cking huge! It’s in your face balls to the wall rock and it’s coming for you & and your family. All the tracks here could be described as comparable to early Offspring only more refined. So if that’s your thing you’ll love this album. Just try and ignore the nonsensical lyrics, let your hair down and get your mosh on... 2 Stars!

Dont feel like playing Tony hawk right now

Woah. Obviously very sick guitar, but pretty average, off lyrics. Can't really tell if they are taking the piss, but not my thing either way... Suffregate city - band hero 🎸 though

I'm fairly sure this is a joke? Some funny catchy songs but tired of it by the end

Could go my whole life without needing to listen to this. The name Rock against Ass for one of their songs made me wanna give 3 but I just couldn’t

meh.

Decent hardcore but overly repetitive and smilar-sounding throughout the record.

More shouty rock. Not super into it so I stopped listening after a few songs.

false

ugh

Note my thing.

How is this included as a must-listen. It is entirely derivative musically and the lyrics are banal and silly. What is this for? I listened to the whole thing hoping that the Bowie cover might even make it worth it. But that great Bowie song was bland and unspecial.

Why is this on the list? Why was this even recorded? 0.00

Navel gazing bandwagon jumping nonsense. No need for it

Nope

I started listening to this, and just didn't care for it. I had forgotten it the next day.

Please don’t make me listen to this again. I thought the only good part of this project was the cover but a little digging suggests the album artwork borrowed the serpent from the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) flag/banner, alongside the phrase “Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people!”

Didn’t like this at all, mixed up crap

Norwegian sons of Spinal Tap. In crossing the North Sea the cargo of humor was dumped overboard.

Turbonegro’s Apocalypse Dudes is an exhausting mess that mistakes obnoxiousness for personality. The songs feel repetitive, the shock value wears thin almost immediately, and the whole thing comes across as forced rather than genuinely dangerous or funny. It may have its cult following, but for me, this was a miserable listen from start to finish.

Rarely do I find art to be a waste of time. Today was one of those days.

Pretty silly. It’s not not fun but there was a lot of music released in 1998 worth including here instead of this.

Das hat mich musikalisch zwischendurch immer mal abgeholt aber der Anfang hat mir irgendwie mehr versprochen. Bei den Texten hört man am besten weg und allein der Name verdient einen Punkt Abzug. Der Wikipedia Artikel hat mir dann das Gefühl gegeben, dass man hier provozieren will mit stumpfesten Mitteln und auch im gehobeneren Alter nicht davon abrückt. Darüber könnte man hinwegsehen wenn ich nicht eh schon bei ner 2/5 wäre.

Absolute garbage

From the very first song. I thought this sounded like the bastard child of Boston and the Ramones. And I like both of those bands (or at least some of their stuff) - but this not so much. Then it morphed into Ramones + Jet and then just Jet. And it all has pretty stupid lyrics. I'm sorry, I did not need to hear this generic band before I died. I'm not gonna listen to any of this again. It's not necessarily bad, it's just not necessary to have existed. It all just feels like a bad copy of other stuff that is good. Liked songs on Spotify: 0/13 Rating: 1/5 (should be zero)

Rendezvous with anus indeed. "Anus" being this bullshit record.

first songs were just kinda generic. i didn’t listen after not my vibe

This just wasn’t for me at all

Just infantile. The riffs are decent, but can't save the album

2 / 10

Not for me this one.

Dude what the hell kinda albums are they putting on this. I lowkey just don't think I really do need to hear most of these before I die. But to each their own I spose. Fuck off dude what the hell is this. Dude genuinely what am I listening to. Some absolute bullshit. Teenage boy movie music. Diary of a wimpy kid music. 2000s coming of age music. Kill me now. Like genuinely what are we doing here. Of course the band fucking disbanded after this fucking listen to it. You're not cool or edgy or different you're fucking annoying and unoriginal and ass. I genuinely just don't know why it's on this list. This is not a camp gay anthem or whatever they're passing it as this is a bunch of Norwegians making some music that I'd rather die in the arctic than listen to. Favourite: Prince Of The Rodeo Least favourite: Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker

Actually pure fucking shit. The music is as shallow as it gets and the lyrics are written and performed by a twelve year old. The norwegians should stick to black metal.

I was really hoping this would be a stoner rock band, based on the album cover alone. I think it obvious I knew nothing about this particular band going into it. Instead, it's like the Queers found "regular/basic" rock music and made a bunch of butt jokes. Call it 1.5 just for some riffs.

They got the name of the book wrong. It should really be "101 Albums to Hear Before You Die, 800 that are Very Good but not Essential and 100 Where We Ran Out of Anything Else Worth Listening To, So We Bunged in any Old Tosh". I bet you can't guess which category this one falls into.

The first album I’ve listened to that I don’t think should be on this list. Like if Spinal Tap existed and took themselves seriously. Not good.

4chan weezer lyrics on top of faithfully recreated radio rock solos, that might sound right up your alley but I'm good.

This is awful. Or I’m old. Or both.

This album was terribly disappointing, and way softer than I expected and hoped. This sounds like the music that would be made by a fake metal/rock/punk band in a children's movie. Also, very bold move to use the SLA cobra on the album art, especially in an album that doesn't really seem to make any other political statements at all.

This is unhinged (not complimentary, I think)

Another band I only know by name. I like the use of natural harmonics on the first track. So far this is boring though. I know this band was talked about a lot, but I don’t get why. I know a lot of cynical hipster people who think they are smarter than everyone else love this. The type of people who love to tease someone when they don’t get the joke. I’m not feeling it. I don’t get the joke. I feel like every song is copying the Ramones or trying to make fun of the Ramones.

Nope nope nope - a million times nope. I am 350ish albums in and listened to some questionable albums on this list but none as bad as this one. The music is bad the lyrics confusingly childish - like if 3 “bad boy” 5th graders sat down and penned every combination of every bad word they thought they knew in an effort to shock other 5th graders. I can’t accept english as a second language excuse on this one…it’s deliberate through and through. All involved in this one can burn in hell. 1/5

как-как группа называется?

I wish I could go back and not listen to this album

What the hell? Did we run out of complete shit UK bands for the list and now need to import complete shit bands from Norway? Any 4 coke heads from bum fuck small town USA can make better music than this - while sleeping.

This is super cheesy. Punk band wants to be hair metal or hair metal wants to be punk? The good news is if you like one song you'll like the whole thing since it all sounds exactly the same. I believe they achieved what they were going for, it's crisp sounding, band is talented, my ears hate it.

So fuckin lame

Part of the 90s noise wars. For the opening instrumental two minutes I thought I was going to enjoy the echos of Queen and The Who. What followed was the equivalent of the beastie boys and joey Ramone singing over a more talented band. It just sounds like gonzo knobhead rock with titles like ‘rock against ass’ and ‘rendezvous with anus’……..

- no one "needs" this. It's boring. It's not funny enough. Others do this and do it better. I can't even round up to a 2 because it's competent because who gives a fuck? gtfo -

1. age - 0 2. buzt - 0 3. get - 0 4. Ass - 0 5. Mother -0 6. Anus - 0 7. Dollar - 0 8. Rodeo - 0 9. High -0 10. Ready - 0 11. Monkey -0 12. Street - 0 13. Good -0 Piece of shit album !!!!

I almost loved this album, but it's also so very very dumb. The guitars are great but they promise something that just doesn't exist in the rest of the music. By the end of the hour I was weary with the album and ready to listen to something else. Favorite track: "The Age of Pamparius"

Oh brother. I really can’t stand this extremely cheesy edgelord shit. The drums are good but that’s my only concession. The lyrics suck, the guitar is overwrought, and frankly it’s embarrassing to listen to. I try to be generous with inclusions that just don’t appeal to me when I get why they’re on the list, but surely there were better options for representing this point in time in the genre of punk/metal. Also you can’t be saying that white baby

Turbofaggot

Awful

There were quite a few of these glam-metal/punk throwback hybrids back in the early 2000s. This isn't even one of the good ones. Listen to The Donnas "Spend the Night" for the same thing but much better.

Aint listening to ts

Now here’s a band that used to perform in blackface and is eye rollingly cringeworthy on their music and lyrics. That’s their choice. For way more times than it should be, the author of this list has yet again included another album that is absolute dog shit. I came here to find good music. I’m shown way more bad music than good. I’m almost halfway through now and this is feeling like a chore.

OK. Norwegian punk metal for angry tween skaters! This was important to many, I'm sure. Not me then, not me now.

No more metal!!!! Yuck

This feels like it was made by fourteen year old boys who think they're "edgy". Even the name of the band, since I found out Turbonegro were white men from Norway, comes across as pathetic. Musically, I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it. Songs like Rendezvous with Anus and lyrics like "Do you want to suck the cock tonight? And taste the outer space truth!" push it down to a one.

It was awful and fowl and had no talent. Starting to believe AI is generating this list. No way anyone would value this album.

I tried to like this. But it's bang average rock n roll which actually isn't very good.

No thanks

Did not enjoy

While I found some of the song titles such as Rock Against Ass pretty amusing I did not like this. I bet this is a fun band to be in and maybe they are good live, but not so great on the album for me.

A racket

Two words; clap trap.

Cansativo, não consegui ouvir tudo

Listened to the first couple of tracks, and I was bewildered how this uninteresting nonsense got to be on the list - especially given my discovery a couple of days ago that less than 20% of the albums on here are by women. Is there really no album by a woman that deserves a place more than this? I looked up the band to see if I was missing something, and learned that they used to regularly play in blackface because they thought it was 'edgy' or something. So I'm done here. Second album on the list that I haven't bothered finishing.

I don't like revivalism. too close in spirit to how The Darkness sounds like bad Queen with more swearing. the way this millennium has gone is as solid an argument as you need against contrarian edgelords even if they claim their aims are progressive. 1 star.

In the battle of rock against ass, ass won. This album is ass

Pass

it’s good for what it is - not one for me

#242/1001. Music for all those, who have mentally and socially stayed a teenager - including the stupid joke that their fan club is called Turbo Jugend. I admit listening to similar music in the 80s as a teenager: Mötley Crüe, Wasp, Kiss, along with countless other heavy and hard rock bands, but at least I moved on. This is perhaps a bit more punk rocky, but that just makes it worse: think longer Ramones songs with guutar solos and a masculine cis white hetro male rock god attitude, yuck.

Nope. Sounds to me like utterly ordinary & forgettable punk rock. Lyrics are smart & entertaining. Song/album titles great. Band name cool too. Musically tho… let’s try a different direction

pretty cheesy and lame. a lot to take in after aerosmith/slightly more of the same but even less technically skilled.

Utterly dead album. And a horrible band name that stinks of a time when GenXers decided it was funny to be overtly racist

I don’t like

This reminds me of music that's made to be in a TV show, by the band from the local school. Like high school musical and school of rock got their scripts mixed up in the hall. Not awful if it's a room away and you can just hear the bass and the top notes, or if you're doing something else while it's on and can't quite hear it. The second you tune in... Bad. And whatever bad is in Norwegian.

The results are in from the juries all across Europe, and it appears as though Norway has scored nul points... Utter shite. Sounds like a punk band created by AI.

Scum

The lead guitar player was great… go on…. the lead guitar player was great. Gotcha. Track I will listen to again: Goodhead.

Absolute waste of time

Not a fan

Couldn’t stand it.

No, not my cup of tea. 1/5

Like rock for basic bitches
