Editorial Reviews

It's hard to take Apocalypse Dudes seriously, so it's best not to try. Turbonegro's greatest album mixes the best excesses of '70s and '80s hard rock and metal and delivers them with punk rock attitude. The result out-Spinal-Taps Spinal Tap, from the fake prog intro to "The Age of Pamparius" (which takes a swipe at Rush) to the call-to-arms "Rock Against Ass." They have enough catchy hooks to appeal to fans of fellow Scandinavian rockers the Hives, with lowbrow, so-dumb-they're-clever lyrics that should win over fans of the Farrelly brothers. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Really more about (...)-kicking rock & roll, May 3, 2005

OK, I am going to try this again. I think the content of my last attempt at a review did not go over well with the censors.

My basic thesis is that this is a great (and archetypal) showing from a band that does not appear to have been ready-hatched for your 14-year-old nephew by the great music industry Engine of Mediocrity.

TN comes at you nice and hard with a surprising melodic undertone in there that keeps the music mentally interesting. It's definitely not your emo-wuss bilge that makes you beg the band to please grow up, nor is it the trite distorto-crunch mess with some dude trying to growl like he's actually a tough guy.

This is for those of you who would like to get your (...) kicked but would rather not feel like you are a) still working through your teen angst; b) trying to annoy and/or scare your parents (although this will do plenty of that); or c) trying to escape the taint of your middle-class, hyper-feminized, neo-suburban, gotta-go-to-model-UN-so-I-can-get-into-Harvard, the-losers-at-the-soccer-tournament-should-get-trophies-too, upbringing by listening to "hardcore" music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death punk? nah....this is full of life., February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Apocalypse Dudes (Audio CD)

The death punk genre tag does this band no service. The rock n roll the Turbonegro machine pumps out is full of life and everyone that listens to this masterpiece should be thankful. Of course this band is not serious, but neither were the Ramones and Damned for the most part. That's what makes this genius.. it's fun and it's by no means dumb. While the rest of the rock world is truely obsessed by the dark side of life...this is a celebration of everything that made the early punk rock bands so cool.

Turbonegro is the best. Every song on Apocalypse Dudes is cool.
My favourite songs on this outstanding CD are: Selfdestructo Bust, Get it on, Prince of the Rodeo and the Age of Pamparius.
But actually all songs are great. This CD is really worth buying it. SO DON'T WAIT AND BUY IT!!!
