Well, I can say one thing, it's definately Guttermouth. I really don't think this band could be confused with anyone else, they are very original. But you must remember, originality does NOT always equal a good CD.

While the band has developed it's own twisted sense of humor (with their biggest 'joke' being that all rollerbladers are gay), their style hasn't changed at all. I got pretty bored listening to this, to tell you the truth. Basic hardcore-ish punk, with snotty vocals. There are a few nice moments to this CD, like the hidden track (why does every single band feel the need to do one of these now?) where Guttermouth is playing at a school assembly or something to that extent. The layout sucks horribly, though, especially the back cover. Maybe it's just me, but I have no way of telling the order of the songs from reading the back. It actually gave me a mild headache trying to decipher it. Stick to the basics, guys, just use numbers! I wouldn't pay 13 or 14 bucks for this, but if I was in a record store on a rainy day, I might pick this up.

    I don't mind this to be honest. I think it is defnitely their best out of their last 4 (Gusto is horrible). It has a really cool feel to it in parts-really upbeat

    this album is fucking great!! buy it if you like old guttermouth. if you like the past 2 albums, you are hopeless.

    okay first off, know the album before you review it. there is NO secret song, it is a plan to see printed lyrics and all song on the CD. so wherever you got that idea who knows. Second, if you were a dedicated listener to Guttermouth (obviously youre not) you'll notice this CD to be one of their greatest CDs next to Friendly People. The CDs preceeding this were a little to poppy for some people so the real fans of Guttermouth actually love this CD. Basically, if you like Guttermouth buy this CD, if not go buy something else, it's really as basic as that, no half-assed review from some 'webzine' is needed.
