Guttermouth will probably never, ever be regarded as anything more than a 2nd-rate NOFX -- but you know what, they probably really don't mind that. Nor do their fans -- the ones that are still around, at least.

This album is really the point where i don't think guttermouth really care what shit they record.. Opens with three quality tracks, then they thought to themsleves, how many poeple will still buy this record if we fill it with crap!! Then they laughed when suckers like me went and brought it! their worst album to date (i didn't buy gusto, after the slating that received) Eat Your face was a slight return to form, but of dear.. 'Shave the Planet' more like 'Save Our Band' I really like this album, good album to skate to and good to hear a band not take them selves to seriously these days. I really do get alot of enjoyment from Guttermouth...While this is not even close to their best effort (I feel it was "Full LengthLP"), it definately brings back alot of memories. Guttermouth has always been the band that pushes the envelope as far as mainstream punk goes. From their Warped Tour fiasco, I couldn't help but respect them even more. I like that they bring the offensiveness back to punk that it is long lost in the sea of "Fuck Bush", "Save The Animals" bands that convolute the genre. They thrive off being politically incorrect, or incoherant you might say, as they lack a real heavy political stance or affiliation. They make songs that make me want to get up and circle pit. They have that ability...Even tracks off of "Gusto" give me that feeling...As for this album though, it is way too short to be considered a full-length, yet too long to be considered an EP. By the end, I was wanting more, but in all fairness, it delivered...It is a fair follow up to "Eat Your Face"...They did bring tears to my eyes, while simultaneously laughing when they mocked Sucidal Tendencie's classic "Institutionalized". All and all, this album is a good buy for fans and new listeners alike...Even if you absolutely hate this album, I guarantee a fe chuckles. Guttermouth is still making albums?? i really, really, wanted to like this. and when i first leeched it, i listenedt to it like 6x/day... I'd agree to the 2nd rate NOFX comparison, to a point. They try to sound poppier, and dumber, if that's possible. The fart and pill jokes tire quickly, but the political bent is the strength of this up and down album. Did they ever release a completely politically motivated album, without the retarded sophmoric songs? ha you do this for free...and you go to junior college? how do you keep up the hectic schedule? I bet this album was recorded in the same fashion as "fuck the Kids" by nofx. it didn't take any time to record but it is still awesome. You probably won't like this if you are into animal rights, gay people rights, retarded people rights, MCR, rights toward serious matters or have no sense of humor. hey Brian do you get paid to write reviews, cuz if you do it's a waste of money. >>>is the work song a fuck you to dropkick murphys or what? Agreed, Dante is rarely, if at all funny. Give it up. is the work song a fuck you to dropkick murphys or what? hey Brian do you get paid to write reviews, cuz if you do it's a waste of money. Dante...you are a tool, you're not funny...everyone here thinks you should eat a dick, what kind of gay ass name is "Dante" anyway, if that's your real name then your parents are as fucking clueless as you are That cover art is hilarious. I honestly thought this album was better than the last 2 pieces of shit they released. ""And the award for worst cover art EVER goes to...." I love Guttermouth and the first 5 tracks are solid...after that the album is ok. The Steve McQueen song is alright, but sounds like their trying to recapture the glory of High Balls. I'm liking it for what it is--another Guttermouth album. I find them more entertaining than NOFX recently, or at least a lot funnier. Haha! No surprise its gettin low scores. It's not thier best by any means but its fun to blaze through for 20 minutes. This is like Guttermouth's "Group Sex". If you didn't like this band back in the mid nineties, you never will. It's that simple kiddies. Honestly, you have to have something wrong with your brain like me to enjoy "Flacidism". they get shittier and shittier with each album. This band blows Whoah, Chinatown, where've you been? Or is it my imagination telling me I haven't seen a post of yours in a while? I'm just judging my comments on the streamed version Yeah this album is shit. Pretty much of par with eat your face. Whats with all the inbetween song banter? it's not even funny at all. Cut that shit out and maybe the album would have been at little tolerable. I don't know, it sounds like Guttermouth to me. Pretty solid stuff! Shit, wrong thread and wrong tags. The sequencing for this thing is terrible: I've had this for a month or so, and I've barely listened to it. Which is weird, because when I heard it I thought to myself, "This is good"...but for some reason that was the last time I listened to it. I believe you're thinking of "Salute Your Shorts". "and i liked eat your shorts too" "And the award for worst cover art EVER goes to...." i think better than 2-and-a-half stars. but if you don't like 'em this won't sway you, so i can see why this will happen And the award for worst cover art EVER goes to.... Everyone's an asshole! Fuck you asshole! My mum's an asshole! Fuck you asshole! Punk word of the decade: Capitalism Score is for comparing this band to Carlos Mencia. What an overrated hack. Guttermouth made me laugh back in High School.....I won't get this, but if they ever come back to the east coast, I would consider going for old times sake. i can definitley see most people not liking this. it takes a certain understated immaturity. Someone should give Mark Adkins a tv show, or a podcast, something this guy is hilarious. He made me laugh ten years ago, and calling Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance a "Fat Raccoon" mad me le laugh again. This band rules... Not their best, but an improvement from Eat Your Face, which was an improvement from Gusto. No mention of the brilliant "23 Things That Rhyme With Darby Crash?" That's their funniest song in years! i thought this album was great.. probably in my top 5 of 2006.. flacidism is hilarious as well.. they just fucked around for this cd.. no gimmicks, just straight up guttermouth you mean "face" right? you mean "face" right? i liked gusto, alot harsh harsh harsh, i'd say this is at least as good as against me!'s latest. Yeah, this album was just annoying. Nor do their fans -- the ones that are still around, at least |
