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.
childish

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
Hello, I’d like ‘a band’ please. Certainly, here’s ’a band’. Yes. They are ‘a band’.
Neither Turbo nor Negroes. Stopped listening when "Rendezvous with Anus" came on
Was a punish, not overly interesting or fresh for me
The album appears to be flat out vulgar and foolishly immature. I'm skipping this album.
Pretty awful. At first I thought it was generic rock of the sort you might expect from a teenage band, ie nothing to write home about but ultimately inoffensive. But every time I tuned into the lyrics they were inane edgy nonsense, and all the songs sounded identical, and the vocals are horrible, and it goes on for ages... Definitely gets worse the more you hear
As awful as the name would suggest.
Merci pour le mal de tête. A la même valeur historique que l'invention du coupe-bagel.
As much as I wanted to like Rock Against Ass and its companion piece Rendezvous with Anus, I couldn’t get into… checks band’s name…. Turbonegro. Maybe not a great name for a band from Norway.
I have never heard of Turbonegro, and when it started I thought it must be a spinal tap style comedy record, but weird to be on here. Then it became more like if Wyld Stallyns were real. Or more generously, if Generation Terrorists era Manics were really stupid. I guess it's glam punk metal. It's an album that makes me wonder whether to continue with this list at all. Charitably, maybe if you were a 15 year old boy when this came out and it was your first exposure to rock music, you'd have some affection for the way it made you feel.
It was okay/tolerable for a while, but I couldn't make it all the way through.
the most Reddit album of all time
This was made for middle school boys. 1.5/5
Awful generic rock slop. Please stop shouting.
Dumber and Dumber. Bloody awful.
Not for me.
Didn’t know this group. And didn’t need to. WTF is this doing on this list? Trying to bring the curve down? Just absolute trash, especially lyrics. Maybe worst record I’ve heard on this list so far.
almost didn't make it all the way through this boring, un-original, slop-filled work. felt more like a collection of loud, annoying songs than an actual album. 1.5/10
Metal - Nix für mich
there is a reason why i have never heard of them
Awful album.
Got 1 because 0 still isn’t a choice, this was so bad.
No. Adolescent but not fun youth stuff.
Well. This album sucks. Not really much else to say. An easy 1 star.
The music was okay but, the vocals sucked and the lyrics were dumb. I love it when people from other countries try to swear in English.
Beware the six headed snake. It will bite you six times and leave you to your own Apocalypse. Another load of old shite.
"Apocalypse Dudes", sorti en 1998 est considéré comme la pierre angulaire du "deathpunk" et l'œuvre maîtresse de Turbonegro. On peut donc s'attendre à une révélation, à une décharge d'adrénaline pure, à la quintessence d'un son unique. Pourtant, à la première écoute, lorsque l'on n'est pas déjà un converti, le sentiment qui prédomine n'est pas l'extase, mais une forme de confusion, voire de frustration. Car "Apocalypse Dudes", malgré son énergie indéniable, ne sait jamais vraiment sur quel pied danser, tiraillé sans cesse entre ses deux parents terribles : le punk et le metal. Dès les premières notes de "The Age of Pamparius", le ton est donné. L'introduction grandiloquente, presque cinématographique, promet une épopée rock'n'roll. Puis le riff déboule, rapide, sale, incontestablement punk dans son urgence. On se dit que ça y est, la machine est lancée. Mais voilà que, quelques mesures plus tard, une guitare lead s'envole dans un solo mélodique, presque classic rock, qui semble tout droit sorti d'un album de KISS ou d'Alice Cooper. Le premier choc est là. Cette dualité, qui sera le fil rouge (ou plutôt la cicatrice) de tout l'album, s'installe d'emblée. L'énergie brute du punk est systématiquement sapée, ou du moins tempérée, par une grandiloquence metal qui lui est presque antinomique. Ce conflit interne ronge l'album de l'intérieur. Prenez un titre comme "Selfdestructo Bust". Le tempo est frénétique, la voix de Hank von Helvete est à la limite de la rupture, la section rythmique martèle sans pitié. On est en plein territoire punk hardcore. C'est viscéral, direct. Mais l'embellie est de courte durée et la structure se complexifie, les riffs s'alourdissent, flirtant avec le hard rock des années 70, et les solos prolixtes et techniques viennent briser cette belle unité. On a l'impression d'écouter deux groupes différents qui se disputeraient la même bande magnétique. L'un veut tout détruire dans un élan de fureur nihiliste, l'autre veut construire des hymnes de stade avec des chœurs et des ponts harmoniques. Cette schizophrénie musicale est le péché originel de l'œuvre. Quand l'album se veut punk, il sonne parfois comme une caricature, une version édulcorée et trop produite de ce que des groupes comme les Dead Kennedys ou Black Flag faisaient avec une authenticité plus crasseuse des années plus tôt. L'urgence est là, mais elle semble calculée, mise en scène. Et lorsque l'album bascule dans le metal, il tombe dans les clichés "guitar hero" qui peuvent paraître datés, voire ridicules. Des morceaux comme "Rock Against Ass" ou "Prince of the Rodeo" illustrent parfaitement ce propos. Ils possèdent des riffs accrocheurs et une énergie communicative, c'est indéniable. Mais ils sont constamment entrecoupés de breaks, de changements de rythme et de solo qui cassent la dynamique. On sent l'ambition de créer quelque chose de plus grand, de plus théâtral que le punk traditionnel. On perçoit l'influence du glam rock, du rock de stade, dans cette volonté de spectacle. Mais cette ambition se fait au détriment de l'efficacité. Le punk tire sa force de sa simplicité et de sa radicalité. En voulant lui greffer la complexité et la suffisance du hard rock, Turbonegro crée un hybride instable qui perd sur les deux tableaux. Il n'a ni la pureté sauvage du premier, ni la maîtrise épique du second. Certes, il serait malhonnête de ne pas reconnaître les qualités de l'album. La production est puissante, chaque instrument est à sa place, et Hank von Helvete est un frontman charismatique à la voix unique, capable de passer du cri écorché au chant théâtral. L'énergie qui se dégage de l'ensemble est réelle, et on imagine sans peine l'impact que ces titres peuvent avoir en concert. Il y a une volonté de ne pas se laisser enfermer dans une case, un désir de dynamiter les codes qui est, en soi, une démarche punk. Mais l'intention ne fait pas tout. Pour un auditeur qui découvre Turbonegro avec ce disque, l'expérience est déroutante. On nous promet l'apocalypse, on obtient une querelle de famille. On nous vend le "deathpunk", on entend un groupe qui hésite. Loin d'être la révélation annoncée, "Apocalypse Dudes" apparaît comme un album de transition, l'œuvre d'un groupe qui a trouvé son image (le denim, le maquillage, la mythologie) avant d'avoir totalement solidifié son son. Pour ses fans, il est sans doute le son de la perfection. Pour un regard neuf, il est le son d'un compromis permanent, un album profondément bancal, qui, en voulant être tout à la fois, ne réussit pleinement à n'être ni complètement punk, ni complètement metal. Il est simplement, et c'est peut-être là sa seule véritable identité, complètement Turbonegro. Une proposition qui, manifestement, ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde. Une note de 1 sur 5
Never heard of these guys, and after hearing how hilariously bad this album was, I thought maybe they were Norway's version of Spinal Tap. Apparently they're sincere, which makes it even funnier.
An oxymoron - boring punk rock.
Boooo so boring! The Age of Pamparius started off so strong and I was into it and then the rest of the album was jsut quarter note cymbal crashes and soulless power chord chugging with a dude yelling penis breathe over and over. Some of the other songs intros were pretty good and got me to think maybe this next one would be good but nope just more relentless crashes and drowning power chords. I literally had to take a break at Monkey On My Back cause I couldn’t bear anymore in one sitting. Then to be fair the main saving grace for me was the only two songs that are technically bonus tracks. I enjoyed the riffs on them but for the album to only be good at the first and last two songs is rough to sit through. 0/10
- Me gusta el arte de la tapa THE AGE OF PAMPARIUS - El opening me gusta - Épic - Rock - Susurro que me hace acordar a Michael Jackson - No me gusta cuando entran los cantantes y se pone tan rockero - Canción rockera sobre una pizza? Me divierte - Me gusta la guitarra que hace pam pam pam pam pam pam pam pam con esa melodía que alguna vez escuché en algún timbre Selfdestructo Bust - Mucho rock, no me gusta - La guitarra está muy distorsionada - Me parece interesante escuchar cómo cantan el rock. Es una especie de grito cantado. Un grito levemente melódico Get It On - Me gusta el sonido del principio. Me suena a acope. Me da misterio - Me aburrooooo Rock Against Ass - No me gusta nada y me aburro - Muy adolescenton Back To Dungaree High "It's just a way to stay alive, boy It's such a trip just to survive" HASTA ACÁ ANOTÉ COSAS SOBRE LOS TEMAS, PORQUE ESTOY MÁS QUE EMBOLADA. MUY ABURRIDO TODO MUY MONÓTONO. CONCLUSIONES - Cómo me costó escuchar todo el disco!!!!!!!! - No me gusta - Entiendo igual que el disco es de 1998, entonces hay todo un contexto en el que surge - Así todo, a mí nunca me gustó este tipo de música - Lo que sí aprecio, es que estoy conociendo una nueva banda y que estoy enfocándome en escuchar con más atención - Es cultura general al fin y al cabo - Desde el punto de vista musical más tecnico, banco este album. Se escucha bien y la producción está bien. Tampoco me voló la cabeza igual - Fue medio un parto escuchar esto, pero lo terminé, que es lo que me pone contenta
Отвратительно
"Yea my mom said I'm old enough to swear now motherfucker, motherfucker 😎😏😤💪🐺💊💉🧃" Instrumental was actually pretty crazy at times, but nothing could save this album from the vocals.
Texte? Furchtbar!
this might be the worst thing i've ever listened to in my life
Did not like it at all
Norwegians singing rock songs in English . It’s a no
im sorry norway yall probably have good music over there but i absolutely hate this. fuck.
No.
ugh wtf was this, not my genre at all I was just waiting desperately for it to be over
Gave it a shot, but there’s nothing for me in this album.
Worst one yet.
No thanks. A bit try-hard and sounds like a bunch of 16-year-old kids practising in a garage. Lyrics were a bit embarrassing!
Nice rock with a bit of punk sprinkled in. As a lot of punk is though the music often rely heavily on the time and place where it was created. As someone not from that time and place this doesn't appeal to me very much.
Terrible! Lately not getting any albums I like. Not a fan of punk rock and rap.
The opening song reminded me of Stonehenge by Spinal Tap. It was hard for me to take them seriously after that.
the only couple minutes i managed to force myself to endure sounded like self indulgent, pretentious, spandex-clad bullshit. maybe there's some shit encrusted gem if you have the human will to dig through all the layers of filth but i simply do not.
Offensively dumb.
Too hard for me. Pass
This is gonna be a big "yikes" from me dawg
It’s crazy how over the top this albulm is, while still being boring. The lyrics are also terrible. It’s extremely formulatic (and there are only a few songs where the formula works). Favorite song: Prince of the Rodeo Least favorite song: Don’t Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker
Really? If this is your thing then good for you. But personally, Is this a post modern take on what happened in the 1970’s and 1980’s with English as second language, so lyrics are just **** ( sorry they are supposedly challenging political correctness), so it makes the list? There must be, are other records that should be on the must hear 1001 albums! rather than this.
not into it
Started with some potential and then ended up being basically what I expected it to be
Kind of like 80's Hair Metal meets the Ramones and not in a good way. Lost interest after a few songs
Found this kind of boring. More tell than show, the songs sound like they’re trying to be so edgy and aggressive but it comes off pretty mediocre. The production is decent though.
sucked didnt finish
Awful! The streak of bad albums continues with incoherent screaming & a great deal of anger. Good grief.
Didn’t finish, i did not like it.
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
Terrible, every song sounds the same.
Yick. These dudes are bad, not in a good bad way, but as in actually bad. I will forget I ever heard this.
lame
Not good!
Is all popular music just a way to trick dumb kids out of their pocket money?
Pretty awful, plus how dare they butcher Suffragette City
Ass against rock
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.
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
What is it with Norwegians loving thrash metal? Sounds like the soundtrack at a white supremacist rally.
Nope.
Good guitar useless lyrics
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.
Not good.
Some of the worst lyrics ever written.
What a stupid name for a band
Meritless mediocrity.
Life is short.
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.
Painful to listen to & couldn't finish
Shite, boring immature angry teenage garage rock
Fraquinho, queria saber o que se passa na cabeça de quem escolheu isso
Braucht niemand. Nicht direkt Lärm, aber unnötig.
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.
Not interested
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.
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
The fuck is this bs
This is not for me. Didn’t finish. Ick.
No
Not my thing
The hell?
I'm afraid this one is a hard no for me. I'm sure others will like it, but for me it is really bad pop punk with nothing to it. I've listed to all albums so far from start to finish, but couldn't do it with this one and stopped half way through! Even tried listening another time, and still didn't like it at all.
I went into Apocalypse Dudes expecting loud, outrageous, over the top rock and roll. I do not mind swagger or silliness if the songs back it up. Unfortunately, this one just did not land for me at all. It leans heavily into parody and glam infused sleaze, but instead of feeling sharp or knowing, it felt cartoonish. The whole thing came across like a poor man’s Spinal Tap, all attitude and excess without enough genuinely strong songs underneath. The riffs are big and brash, but after a while it all starts to blur into one long exaggerated joke. I can see how the tongue in cheek style and camp bravado would appeal to some. There is clearly a cult energy to it, and I imagine it would be chaotic fun live. On record though, it felt more irritating than entertaining. It is not one I will be revisiting.
No me ha gustado. Muy típicas las canciones y además insoportables
Not a fan. Dig the punkish music, but the mixing and lyrics I can hear are not my bag.
2/10 Dumb AF punky metal, but at least it is self-knowingly stupid and not self-serious. Kind of shocking this is considered top 1000 of all time Really not my thing, 2-3 songs in a row is ok, the whole album caused me a headache… Chugging riffs and driving drums, sounds metal, but the vocals are more representative of pop punk and emo bands, think Offspring or Green Day. Bit of a clash. Best: Don’t say Motherfucker, Motherfucker (but just because of the name, didn’t like any of the music)
Based on the guitars in the opening few seconds, I thought “why have I not heard of this band or album?” Well, now I know. Because it’s trash. Absolutely awful.
I would love to read why this is included on the list. I find it hard to believe anyone says let’s put on the wonderful Apocalypse Dudes album. First riff I thought ok this sounds pretty good, then the rest of the album happened.
No, no, no, no, and no. The most meaningless lyrics, with random obscenities thrown in for flavor. Their hit song, Age of Pamparius, and I kid you not, is about making a pizza and refers to pepperoni and calzones. This one feels like it was included as a joke. Another “hit,” per Spotify, Get it On, just repeats the same line over and over.
I feel dumber having listened to this
Not for me. 2/10
Nope nope nope

Did not care to listen
Is this a joke? Sorry.. I just don’t get it. The lyrics are awful and the production makes it hard to listen to.. overcompressed, way too much treble. Awful.
Extremely generic, extremely unoriginal, boring and bad. It’s got that problem where Europeans try to write in English, but their understanding of the connotations of certain words or phrases is off, so it really comes out sounding very amateurish, like a toddler trying to write a song. Add to that a teenaged sense of edge and danger, and we get some of the most gutless sounding punk rock I’ve ever heard. Not only are the lyrics extremely poorly written, the music is so deeply bland. It is by the book punk rock. Just total cookie cutter. No attempt to experiment or create anything, just repetition of well trod ground. The worst part of it is I know there’s a huge market for it. Dudes who think skeletons and the word ‘fuck’ are as cool as it gets, and there’s no need to examine anything further. There’s nothing actually ‘punk’ about this record, just a facade of it. It’s kind of like if the Disney channel made a DCOM called Punk Rock Musical. It’s just so bad and cringe and I understand why Bam Margera likes them so much.
Reminds me of like stuff they would play on Viva La Bam. Skater punk with lots of bad words to be cool. Certainly elements of things I like but not put together in a way I can get down with. Plus that band name is rough, very teenage-boy-pushing-boundaries. I know they’re like Norwegian but still. Honestly, was leaning 2 stars, but learning more about them and re-listening to Rendezvous With Anus, I talked myself down a bit.
norjalaiset ei musiikkia osaa tehdä...siinä asiassa ruohti vie...aivan vitun paskaa ja vuonna 1998 ei voi millään, ei yhtään vittu millään tavalla voinut olla mitenkään influentiaalinen missään muussa kuin norjan itsemurhatilastoissa (1001 review yksilausahdusmainen kommentti siinä heh) näin tehdään nopeasta ja äänekkäästä rokista saatanan tylsää. Turbonegro's lyrics often attack political correctness, holy fck...brave... meikä antaa yhden tähden...snowflaikki heh... kun ei tykkää.... pricne of the rodeo (homoanalsex reference)
This might make sense on a cassette. But in a different place time and music system than mine. As the song by this band says "all my friends are dead" and "FTW" and "don't say motherfucker motherfucker" sum up their developmental advancement and contribution to the art.
This is all the usual cliches played out, I'm grateful there wasn't a song about snot. Completely unimaginative and straight out boring, there is nothing to do with greatness on this thing and I'm tired of these ridiculous entries to this process. There is a great Sopranos episode where Adriana talks Chris into managing and recording an awful band called Visiting Day. They have a song called Defiler, with lyrics such as "get out of our way, and dont be so gay, we're coming to defile, defile you". Listen Elizabeth Strout fans, if I was given a choice on the purgatory loop jukebox between that and whatever this utter rubbish is supposed to be, I'm going for "we're coming to defile, defile you"..
What the fuck is this doing on the list?
Not great as a rock/glam/punk album, and lost me with the “muther***£r” over and over again with “Rock Against Ass” track. Good artists don’t have to cuss their way to respect. Dylan, Beatles, Stones etc didn’t have to cuss to be great.
Played two songs and then turned it off. Wasn’t into it
This was embarrassing
Hahahahahahahahahaha this is fucking dreadful.
It is very one note and doesn't sustain its 47 minute runtime. It's generic at its best, but often it's just plain annoying for my ears. Were it up to me, it probably gets thrown in the recycle bin.
This was insufferable. They even tarnished David Bowie 😢
Why is this on here?
Amateur hour
Yikes!!! Hard to finish
Once again I have to wonder what the authors of 1001 were smoking when they compiled this list. Although they're Norwegian they sound like your average American metal group from the 90s. Inane lyrics and cliched guitar riffs. I think I would prefer Norwegian Death Metal to this.
nope
Norwegian glam. I’ve heard it all. As empty as a North Sea facing fjord?
This album is garbage. Why is it on this list?
This is a joke, right? A very bad joke...
Haha, wat een rommel! Sorry voor mogelijke liefhebbers 🙂.
This was a perfectly fine and fun record but I definitely wouldn't consider it as one of the greatest of all time. Some of the songs would be alright on a lesser Tony Hawk game (one of the ones after Pro Skater)
bruh
I... didn't hate the music? As long as you don't listen to close. Because the closer you listen the worse it gets. I'm lookin' at you, "Rock Against Ass," "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker," and "Good Head." A lot of it is cringe-i-ly juvenile upon closer inspection. I don't get these dudes. The album cover looks like something from a metal band. They describe themselves as "deathpunk." They are neither of these things. Maybe on other albums? Then I looked up pictures. Hahahahahahaahahahahahaha... whew let me catch my breath... hahahahahahaaha. Happy-Tom's (cause that's his name) sailor schtick! But it's unfair to just target Happy-Tom, because the whole band's look is... somethin'. And the denim phase! I was feeling like giving them a generous 2 before finding out more about them and their aesthetic.
Lyrics are trash. 1 to 1.25
This album started out sounding like a bunch of college dudes who used their student loan money to buy ESP guitars, Marshall stacks, and an array of pedals. Then it just went down from there. They lost me with Rendezvous with Anus, if not even before. Beginning to question Dimery’s album selection.
This whole album confused me, I listened to a few songs but they all blended into one and my ears started to protest so I gave up.
not for me
Listened to one song. Just metal. Trash.
"They were advised that a band named Nazipenis would never sell records, so they chose Turbonegro as a more consumer-friendly choice." So it's like cheesy, punk skewed cock rock from Norway a decade too late? This sucks.
Bunch of power chords and screaming. Not very impressed.
What a tragedy
Awful
Abjectly beige. The passionless delivery of "Do anything you wanna do" seals the deal. The line with the title in it is similarly empty, but at least there's the lampshading inherent to "dude". The single version of the rodeo tune is strictly better, but listening to it twice was not worth the time.
