You know what can *actually* get fucked? These guys and their whole vibe. Talk about a pack of tryhards. You aren't doing anything that hasn't been done a million times already, by people who did it a million times better. ha ha, servo pies and backyard cricket!! ha ha, what comedy! So, yeah... get fucked, I guess. 1/5.

This was nearly an instant 5 stars just from the album cover and the album name.
But then I listened to it.
And it was still a 5 star album.
If you name a song "I've Been Drunk in Every Pub in Brisbane" then you have my heart forever

Punk is not dead. These fuckers did definitely prove that.

Pretty standard normal punk. I don't think this is anywhere near as edgy as they think it is.

I'm surprised I haven't heard more Australian punk. Australian culture sort of seems like it is made for punk. In any case, this is awesome. Good, straight ahead punk. 4 stars.

Its the song topics that make this charming punk. The music and delivery it pretty standard issue energetic rock, but then topics like 6L GTR, The Price of Smokes, I've Been Drunk in Every Pub in Brisbane and Emperor of the Beach give it punk humanity. Fun listen!

Yeah, that's punk. I tend to feel like this genre said pretty much what it had to say forty-plus years ago. Still this had plenty of good-naturedly aggressive goofball energy and as usually with punk it keeps everything brief and to the point.

I guess I shouldn't judge an album by when it was released. Good punk is good punk. But maybe I'm removing a star because they've had so much inspiration to draw up, and ultimately, there's nothing new here.

Aussie punk from 2022?? You must be kidding right?
Hang on, this is right up there with the 1997 Aussie movie masterpiece 'The Castle'. It's a ripper!!!
The music is a vehicle for the lyrics- "The price of smokes have gone up again/A dollar 95 a cigarette", "Run, run I'm still gonna getcha/You can't hide from me, I'm a ticket inspector!" Every line is a gem.
Priceless. Thanks for sharing this......
STOP PRESS: Just listened to this again and did their musical ability a disservice. They're pretty tight.
Solid 5*****

REALLY wanted to give this a 5, just because I loved it so much, but man, I give out 5s only to all-time-greats and while this is awesome, it's no ATG. 4.5/5, but rounding to 4. Cool as hell.

Well this is curious: it sounds like 1980 but was released in 2022.
(An album from 1980 copying the radical sound of 42 years before would have been early big band).
So is it deliberately retro ? Pastiche ?
It’s good, it’s great fun and full of energy. But….maybe derivative?

This was a refreshingly pure punk rock album. Just half an hour of energetically complaining about whatever mundane shit annoys these guys in their daily lives.

A proper punk LP that shows up, says its piece, and then leaves before you've had a chance to blink. Not sure what they're smoking down in Australia nowadays, but it's led to some of the best and most innovative music in the indie scene this past decade.

HL: "6L GTR", "Panic Attack", "Ticket Inspector", "The Price of Smokes", "Emperor of the Beach", "Getting Better"
5th Australian act so far on the user list, and 5th that I had no idea about beforehand (after Gang of Youths, the Sports, Gurrumul and Foetus)
I don't care for punk...
...but I like this

Pretty cool Aussie vintage garage punk. Of course, The Chats are not trying to reinvent the wheel here, and you may wonder: why this particular album and not dozens of other excellent LPs in that overall genre also forgotten in Dimery's list, going from The Saints to Amyl And The Sniffers if you only stick to famous Australian examples? Right after *Get Fucked* was over, Spotify indeed sent me into a rabbit hole filled with other excellent punk or punk-adjacent acts from Down Under (Civic, Stiff Richards, RMFC, Private Function, Alien Nosejob...). And honestly, it feels most of those acts deserve a place in this users' list as much as The Chats do.
That said, the guitar work on "Get Fucked" is solid and more versatile than what it first appears to be, and it's easy to perceive how endearing most of those songs would be for fans of that genre. The opener is awesome and has catchy vocal parts, "The Price Of Smokes" offers hilarious working class "wisdom" in the shape of repeated aggro one-liners set to an infectious "groove", and the last four cuts are quite memorable as well. Nice build-up here, it's quite important to not quickly wear your welcome out in that genre.
If I had an unlimited amount of time on my hand, I would probably return to this LP. Likewise, if I found a cheap copy of it in a record shop in my European town -- chances that this happens are close to zero -- I would buy it right away. But I do buy a lot of records now, and when it comes to the purposes of this generator, 1001 is obviously too low a number to include a 100% derivative-albeit-well-crafted album such as this one.
Yet the least I can do is to symbolically leave my door open to The Chats. Plus it's usually harder for Australian indie acts to get noticed outside of their borders. So I guess a good deed is in order here. Being apparently very polite and well-mannered lads, I expect the members of this Aussie outfit to flip the bird at me in return, just as they do on *Get Fucked*'s cover. You're welcome, c*nts!
3.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums, rounded up to 4
8.5/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3.5)
Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465
Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288
Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336
----
Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 14
Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 23 (including this one)

Émile !!!! Ça marche notre affaire !!! Ça me fait trop marrer d'utiliser le générateur de cette manière, et ça me fait trop plaisir que tu aies répondu.
Donc salut, comment ça va aujourd'hui ?J'aime beaucoup la liste de tes favorites, c'est à la fois très varié et parfois original. Déjà je possède tous les albums que tu as cité, ce qui est bon signe. J'adore particulièrement *Fear Of Music*, en particulier ses "deep cuts", que je trouve en fait encore plus marquants que ses hits. Et aussi The Man Machine, qui est probablement mon Kraftwerk préféré à égalité avec Radioactivity. Je suis pas encore complètement rentré dans Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, qui est un peu zinzin, mais je l'ai aussi, et je sais que c'est un disque cool. C'est moi ou comme avec Harmonium, tu as un faible pour les disques un peu "narratifs" parfois ?
Je vais te mettre ci-dessous ma liste de mes 10 favoris actuels (ils changent souvent). Désolé, j'ai pas trop le temps de développer pourquoi ces disques dans mon top 10, mais là je suis en sortie scolaire d'une semaine en Espagne avec mes élèves de 3e, et je suis grave occupé. Donc m'en veux pas si je réponds pas certains jours à tes messages. Oui, je suis prof. Personne n'est parfait, hein ! 😅
A part ça, je viens d'avoir 48 ans, et je vis tout près du Mans, dans la Sarthe. Je faisais de la musique autrefois, mais ça fait très longtemps que j'ai pas sérieusement touché ma guitare. Et sinon, en ce moment, j'écris plus ou moins bénévolement pour un webzine musical français qui s'appelle Mowno (google ça et "Cyril Servain", et tu trouveras mes chroniques).
Et toi ? T'habites où au Canada ? Tu fais quoi de ta vie ?
Voilà, en attendant ta réponse, voici mon top 10 actuel.
1.Radiohead - Kid A
2. Pixies - Doolittle
3. Sonic Youth - Sister
4. Nirvana - In Utero
5. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven -
7. Radiohead - OK Computer
8. Low - Double Negative -
9.Big Thief - Capacity -
10. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump -
See you soon?

A little bit of speed and excitement in the songs but with great energy. Perhaps what is a bit disappointing is that the whole album could be just one song because they practically sound the same. However, it is appreciated that it does not take up much time and thus avoids being annoying... oh, and they have a chorus dedicated to Superman.

I love a short and (not at all) sweet punk album, all muscle and no fat. This one delivers in that regard, full tilt. My one personal thing is that I find Eamon Sandwith's voice to be a bit grating, but that's a minor complaint. And this doesn't particularly tread new ground, but eh who cares? Great to see some legit punks keeping the faith in the 2020s.
Fave Songs: The Price of Smokes, Boggo Breakout, Getting Better, Struck by Lightning, 6L GTR, Out on the Street

Awfully rude of them to insult me before even listening. This modern punk rock band makes music that thrashes and is a force of music. Overall it’s nothing I really care to listen to but their punk sound is pretty decent. 4.4/10
