Published on June 23rd 2006


After begrudgingly listening to the album Bite Your Tongue by New York City’s red-headed stepchildren Sex Slaves, I decided I’d compile a list. A list you ask? I bet you thought this was a review! Trust me when I tell you, you would much rather read this list of things I’d rather do than listen to the album, than read a review on this album. So without any further ado, here’s a list of things I’d rather do, than ever listen to this album again:

  • Count every grain of sand in Daytona Beach.
  • Lick the feet of a hobbit.
  • Be a fan of the Miami Dolphins.
  • Devote my life to the writing of level III Calculus textbooks.
  • Take a Nolan Ryan fastball directly to the face.
  • Be a Good Charlotte groupie.
  • Replace every pair of jeans I own with bondage pants.
  • Live in the Gulag.
  • Save Latin.
  • Attend a Celine Dion concert.
  • Be attacked by a Komodo Dragon.
  • Be French.
  • Take a bath in a tub full of mayonnaise.
  • Watch back-to-back episodes of "Barney" for a minimum of two years.
  • Jump headfirst into an active volcano.
  • Be blind.
  • Watch a Sinbad standup special.
  • Have a bowling ball dropped on my big toe.
  • Eat asparagus.
  • Walk naked through the arctic.
  • Never be able to eat pizza again.
  • Watch curling, live or televised.
  • Jump rope with razor wire.
  • Use sulfuric acid as shampoo.
  • Wrestle a polar bear.
This is cock rock at its very worst. “All Night Long” features some lazily delivered vocals and the especially poignant lyrics "I, I wanna fuck you all night long." The sooner bands like this stop trying to be Mötley Crüe, the better off we all shall be. “Thank God for Jack Daniels” changes things up a bit, by only repeating the chorus 30 times in between the intensely repetitious chord progressions and absolutely staggering depth of their musical arrangements. The drums are barely audible, it’s music entirely dominated by boring riffs and tepid sing-alongs. If ever there was a band that epitomized forsaking musical direction for an image, this my friends, is it.

I could go on, and on, and on, but I’m sure all of you get the gist by now. I don’t know who’s involved in the making, production, marketing, and distribution of this musical abombination, but I wish all the bad things in life would happen to them, and no one else but them.

I’m not even going to waste my time trying to think of a clever way to close this review, just get this trash away from me.

    Great review.

    feeeding5000 (June 25, 2006)

    Can we get a larger picture of the cover art? For some strange reason, I find it intriguing. It could use more B&W photo collages, though.

    What's funny is when a band's street team/fanboys find a bad review and come in to defend it.
    What's funnier is when it's only two posts of defense.

    What's funnier still is when those two posts look like they were typed out by blind people using their feet.

    "does the reviewer like this album or not, he said that nowhere clear"

    what does "just get this trash away from me" mean to you?

    How dare you insult the second most intelligent species on the planet, especially when you're part of the third most intelligent species?!

    Be a fan of the Miami Dolphins.

    Yeah, because having the only undefeated team in the history of the NFL is pretty embarrassing.

    Jesse didn't write this review, Adam."

    Also, he missed the perfect opportunity to say, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

    Dante3000 (June 23, 2006)

    First off, Komodo Dragon reference = Sick.
    A few others (cause I think I’m funny…psst…I’m not)
    have my balls speed bagged by Mike Tyson.
    Have laser eye surgery performed by Michael J. Fox
    Relive every one of Mick Foley’s matches.
    Drive through Texas in a pink hybrid with a rainbow sticker on the back.
    Try to convince other Countries that our State of the Union Address is "supposed to sound like that"
    Watch every movie staring any rapper, ever.

    quick would you rather....

    would you rather a) everytime you sneezed, sneeze out testicles, or b) cry semen

    As I never cry, I'd take "b".

    score is for the review, even though you appear to be taking shots at Canadians with those French, Celine & Curling comments. Oh well I'm not that patriotic.

    You say this like it's a bad thing.

    " Watch a Sinbad standup special. "
    Ouch, man. Just, ouch.

    lawl @ ozzie guillen

    I can't believe he called mariotti a fag.
    that's just ridiculous

    EyesLikeBombs (June 23, 2006)

    Things I would rather do than listen to this album:

    - Look at the cover art.
    - Reevaluate my life if somehow that actually did manage to be Jay Mariotti.

    Anonymous (June 23, 2006)

    I have to take issue with this review. I haven't heard this record, and I fully assume that it's terrible. My issue lies in the comment about not being able to eat pizza again. I am gluten intolerant, meaning I can't eat wheat ever again. I certainly do not appreciate you lumping me in with these douche clowns.

    Ozzie_Guillen (June 23, 2006)

    I see you would not rather listen to this than take a Sean Tracey fastball in the face. Don't worry, I told him to throw a baseball at you, but he pussied out like a coward.

    In my country Nolan Ryan would face the consequences of throwing at people's face. Me and mi amigo Ugey Urbina will finish what Robin Ventura couldn't.

    Ozzie_Guillen (June 23, 2006)

    The homosexual girl on the left is Jay Mariotti. I am not telling you a lie. If you think I am we can settle this like men and I will punch you in the face.

    HeresLookinAtYou (June 23, 2006)

    i liked the picture on the website link
    and on the list my favorite would have to be :

    Take a Nolan Ryan fastball directly to the face.

    ouch.

    theOneTrueBill (June 23, 2006)

    Oh, and anything that mentions a Komodo Dragon gets two thumbs up automatically

    theOneTrueBill (June 23, 2006)

    let me be the first to comment on the awesomeness of the picture in the link. WOW.

    How about be Robin Ventura after his fight with the Ryan Express? How embarassing is it to get put into a headlock, noogied, and beaten up by a man twice your age?

    cdogg (June 23, 2006)

    So wait....did you like the album or not?

    inagreendase (June 23, 2006)

    Looks like we weren't biting our tongue on this one!

    Yeah, this suuuucks. However, the cover pretty much lets you know what you're in for.
