Killdozer was one of the best and most underated bands of the last 15 years. All their stuff is killer. I see one reviewer doesn't get it. Their loss: not for fans of overly-produced kiddie punk. If you've ever crossed state lines on a dark winter night just for a 40oz of Schlitz Red Bull, Killdozer is the band for you.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling low, I'll slap this on and begin to feel my frown turn upside down. "Going To The Beach" makes me think of simpler times. Thank you Killdozer, thank you Madison.

You have to get this album. You can dance to it, rock to it, or crash the party with it. You will impress your friends with your stunnng taste in music. Their entire catalog is great. In case you are doubtful of their pop sensibilities, that "Garbage" guy (Vig) produced it or something. That "Nirvana" guy (Albini) did one of their other albums, so they know what is up!!

First off, Killdozers eat bulldozers for breakfast, semis for lunch and airliners at suppertime. They can take your song and stretch it out for a whole album, and make you feel so jealous and inferior, you will literally drown in your tears. A few words of warning to the ultra tender-hearted: this kind of kerfuffle is so intense, it will spin your bowels around like a potato sack of kittens dropped into a raging sea among the craggy rocks. You'll be a hell-on-wheels grandma sitting in the cab of a three-story-high monster truck, armflab a flag of rusting flesh waving in the wind as you adjust the outside mirror to better view highway patrol vehicles flipping as you dump exacto knives onto the roadway. Bam! Fwipp! You can wake up from your nap now.

some of the other reviews almost scared me off, but boy am i glad i checked this out. great music and awful vocals that somehow hit home. ween fans should enjoy this.

While I am not that familiar with the album as a whole, I have a copy of "River". Even if I hated every other song...I would still shell-out $ for a copy of "River". The discorded violin gives the listener a brief window into raw emotions related to insanity. Years later, listening to it still gives me chills. This is one of those rare gems that manages to mix a non-classical violin style and hardcore without sounding like a freshman year art project. Inversely, this is not your typical rock-ballad-violin garbage either. The only debate is whether or not you can live with paying $ for a single song. I think it is worth every penny.

Echoes of The Birthday party everywhere, but in a more raw manner, the guitar is also different, less free-form-psycho-billy in Rowland manner, instead more punk, with much more noise. About the voice? Raw, the rawest possible, coz this is a pure and original art form without any producers or mainstream filters. It's a tough listen but the reward is awesome. In my honest opinion, the bonus EP is even better than the album itself. Check out please. Have fun, i'm having

Anyone who doesn't like Killdozer is lame. If you're new to the band get 12 Point Buck first, then check out the others. You'll need all of them. Like fine wine, Killdozer tapes get better with age.

Check out Mighty High...In Drug City

Is there a worse vocalist in the history of recorded medium than Killdozer's vocalist? How can anyone praise this stuff with a straight face? Defines the word "unlistenable".

Imagine, Mojo Nixons unfunny, mentaly challenged, red headed stepchild. You almost have Killdozeer. Now imagine that he dosen't sing as good as Mojo.
Now imagine a musically impared Tom Waits; but he quit smoking about six months before his voice really turned into anything besides a low growl.
That's Killdozer.
Kind of my fat, beer drinking uncle; without the talent!
