I really liked this CD mostly because I love Beavis and Butthead but also because it has lots of funny moments. It's almost like watching part of an episode for every song. My two favorite songs are "Come to Butthead" [a song that is based on Buthhead's saying (this song is very funny)], and "I got you babe" where Beavis and Butthead sing the famous song along with Cher. Butthead sings and when I first listened to the CD, my jaw hurt from laughing so much. I hope evrybody who likes Beavis and Butthead even just a little bit, to get this CD. It is great!!!!!!! END

Listening to this album is like watching the MTV animated comedy. The album begins as if it was live. The announcer says,"Ladies and gentlemen,are you ready to rock? Would you please welcome Beavis and Butthead!". Butthead tells the audience(voiced by B&B creator Mike Judge),"Here's one we just wrote,HUH HUH HUH HUH!". It's Nirvana performing I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE. Butthead quotes,"That kicked ass!". Beavis quotes,"It ruled! It ruled! HEH HEH HEH HEH!". Before Anthrax's LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN plays,B&B checks out a tour bus containing Anthrax. After Beavis looks at an album of photos of naked females,he takes the album into the lavatory and pulls out the photos(it is claimed that one of the females was Beavis' shapely mother). Beavis actually went into the lavatory to move his bowels,needless to say. But B&B end up thrown off the bus. Judge,who has a songwriting talent as well,gives us the 70's disco-flavored COME TO BUTTHEAD. Megadeth gives us 99 WAYS TO DIE. Run D.M.C. joins B&B in spoken vocals before BOUNCE. DEUCES ARE WILD,performed by Aerosmith kicks major ass! DAW is an outtake from the band's 1989 album PUMP. It subsequently appeared on the band's 1994 album BIG ONES and on their 2002 ultimate compilation O YEAH! ULTIMATE AEROSMITH HITS. White Zombie's I AM HELL is OK. Primus' POETRY AND PROSE is cool. The lead singer claims he's "a Three Stooges man like Larry,Curly and Moe but once in a while I get a kick out of that Beavis and Butthead show!". Sir Mix-A-Lot's MONSTA MACK is pretty cool. I guess the most famous of all is Cher's re-recording of I GOT YOU BABE by the late Sonny Bono. She and Bono,as Sonny & Cher recorded the song in 1965 and was a Top 10 hit. Butthead asked Cher if she was once married to "that Bono(bah no) dude". Butthead was referring to U2's frontman Bono Vox. Cher replied,"Bono(bo no),Sonny Bono." Butthead thought that post-Sonny & Cher,Sonny was a San Diego cop. Cher said,"No,he's the mayor of Palm Springs(California)." Also there's awesome tracks recorded by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jackyl. Following the conclusion of IGYB is a reprise of CTB. The reprise is in hip-hop form featuring an unknown(at least to me) rap/hip-hop artist. Between IGYB and the CTB reprise is audience applause and the announcer saying,"Ladies and gentlemen,Butthead has left the building."(is if Butthead were the late Elvis Presley). Beavis replies,"No he hasn't. He's in the toilet! HEH HEH HEH HEH!". If you're a B&B fan,this item is for you. New copies of this album are very reasonably priced to own. Of course,they cost several dollars more each when it was a new release in 1993.

I don't know why this is so dirt cheap, it's twice as good as their movie soundtrack. It's pretty much the mix of bands you would expect. The better tracks are from "Nirvana", "Megadeth", "Aerosmith", "Primus" and the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" covering a "Stooges" song. But the best track is Butt-heads "Come To Butt-head". It's him talking over a slow 70's groove, and is really funny. There's also B & B chit-chat between most songs, some of it goes on forever, but most is humerous. At this price it's worth getting. It'll go great with your "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Wayne's World" soundtracks.

I have always thought this CD was underrated, even when it was released back in the mid-90s. You can see the track list above, so I won't list them all here.

Why you should pick up this album: 1) Nostalgia. It will take you back to a time in music history that meant something - rocking out hardcore. It may have been considered crap back then, and considered crap now by some, but I believe this "crap" is better than much of the crap that is put out nowadays 2) For some great tracks 3) It's just good `ol fashion nonsense.

What will annoy you about this album: The skits are tied into the songs, and you cannot separate them. For instance, the opening track one is both a Beavis and Butt-head skit and a Nirvana song put into one track. This is very annoying if you only want to listen to a song and not the skits. The whole album is generally like this.

By far Nirvana's "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" is the best overall song on the album insofar as the most genuine, and in hindsight, painful one, given the nature of the title of the song and what Kurt did to himself. But there are some other great songs, such as Megadeath's "99 Ways To Die." In general I hate rap, but RUN DMCs "Bounce" deserves a listen. Also, I don't know why Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Monsta Mack" isn't played anywhere. It is very catchy and funny at the same time, and it is one of the few, and best, rap songs I have ever heard.

I hope this album is re-released with a bonus "making of" and the skits are separated tracks from the song tracks. We need a re-release all you greedy fat cats, I'd buy it.

I love this for the simple fact that when I discovered it back around when it was released, it introduced me to such music as White Zombie, Megadeth and Anthrax.

I love the tunes on this album. Get the free audacity software to remove the Beavis and Butthead dialogue.

Beavis and Butt-Head changed my life. They taught me that it is o.k. to be completely stupid. I found this at the store for 5 friggin dollars and it is totally worth more than that. The songs are awesome, but the B&B segments are painfully funny. If you come across this, BUY IT!!! STUPIDITY RULES!!!!

Most of the stuff on this album is very mediocre, but the one reason should buy this is the following:

'I Hate Myself And Want To Die' is THE best rare Nirvana track EVER!!!! And the best track on this little compilation. A treat for all the hardcore Nirvana fans.

BUY IT!!!

LONG LIVE NIRVANA!!

R.I.P. KURT!!

Lacking much of an underlying subversive wit which buoyed the show, this collection of metal, rock, alternative, and hip hop tracks amongst the duo's track-by-track commentaries is still a pretty fun homage to the old pair via a sort of soundtrack. As far as the music is concerned, much feels moot by now, including some of the sketch segments where the dated humor feels most apparent, but there are enough highlights to have turned heads upon release and still a few tracks that bear revisiting and enough audio time for B&B to satisfy fans.

THIS IS A ROCK MASTERPEICE! HEh heh heh heh huh huh. SERIOUS! You can't get this new anymore? What gives? A bunch of great songs are only available on this CD.
Plus its got BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD on it! Why they ever left TV is beyond me. I used to love watching videos with them on Mtv. I think pop culture lived a little in the nineties due to these guys, it's dead again. But we shall remember it HERE with this rockpacked collection of ROCK!
NIRVANA hate myself and want to die, very awesome.
ANTHRAX doing Beastie Boys Looking down the barrel of a gun (rips)
CHER and BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD sing I GOT YOU BABE
AEROSMITH does DEUCES ARE WILD, a very cool outake from their PUMP album. Now don't forget MEGADETH, CHILI PEPPERS, WHITE ZOMBIE (before he was just Rob Zombie) and stuff you may not recognize like JACKYL and if you are younger than 17 you may never heard of RUN DMC.
I bought this thing when I was 10 years old and pissed my mom off immensly, you can find this used. DO THE SAME!
