I can't tell if Andrew W.K.'s I Get Wet is the worst recording of all time or the harbinger of an entirely new genre. This very short, 12 track collection sounds like nothing other than Abba fronted by Lemmy from Motorhead. Forget rap-rock - this is disco thrash - catchy as hell, stoopider than the freshest hip-hop joint, brilliant in its relentlessness. Andrew W.K. is a screamer - his monotone matching the steady thumping rhythms (stolen? borrowed?) from techno or Twisted Sister. And, as much as you resist it (I swear I've tried), the thing wears you down, until you're screaming along with every brain dead chorus. "When it's time to party we will always party hard." "Party `til you puke." And the (now) anthemic "I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!!" Big dumb rock has never felt so shameful, or so liberating.

Andrew WK's music is all about having fun. Buy his CDs and see for yourself.

The first song I heard from Andrew W.K. was "We want fun" from the soundtrack of "Jackass The Movie". Great song, especially on occassions where you are in a party-mood. This album contains a dozen of songs that are pretty much alike the "We want fun" song. If you love that song, you'll sure love the complete album. All simple, but cool rock songs. Great listening in the car or with your friends when you've had a beer or 2.

After the splashing of the video for 'Party Hard' on MTV Rock over the weeks and months...I decided to search for it in stores. Glad I did, too...

Some people can say that all the saongs sound the same...I thought that at first. But after listening to it a few times...it's simplicity brings forth originality.

A few sounds were repeated from song to song, but it's a party CD...a far cry from Progressive Metal (thank goodness).

Good time metal is back!

I bought this album based solely on the fact that the video for party hard made me laugh. Not at the video but with it. It is refreshing to see someone making hard rock that isn't based solely on how painful their childhood was. Andrew wants us to party and I for one agree.

It is true that at first listen all the songs do sound a bit samey but hell the first time i listened to psychocandy by jesus and mary chain i could barely tell they were songs. With repeated listens you start to pick up the melodies and pretty soon you can't help but yell "I love New York City" every couple of minutes

So stop being a stuck up indie kid and just buy the party album of the year
