4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, but still great, May 19, 2008

In 1992, the Queers released LOVE SONGS FOR THE RETARDED, their best album and one of the top 5 punk rock albums ever. Next they released BEAT OFF, which was almost as good. Then, in 1995, they release this album, MOVE BACK HOME. Unfortunately, MOVE BACK HOME doesn't come close to approaching the punk goodness of the prior 2 albums. The songs just don't pack the same punch, and aren't as memorable. Joe Queer himself said he thought this album was just mediocre.

But just because this album isn't as good as the prior 2 Queers albums, does that make it not worth buying? HECK NO! Joe Queer is a pop-punk genius, and even his lesser songs are a joy to listen to. I'd take any song on MOVE BACK HOME over any song from many other punk bands. Plus, the album has been remastered, and sounds ten times better than it did before. Finally, it includes the 4-song Surf Goddess EP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great re-issue from The Queers, March 18, 2007

This album is up there with "Love Songs" and "Don't Back Down". Asian Man Records did a good job remastering the cd. I like this cd more than some of the others because it has a really good mix of lighter and fast punk tunes. Standouts include She's a Cretin, If You Only Had A Brain, Hawaii, Definetly, I Can't Get Invited To The Prom, and Peppermint Girl. This re-issue also includes the EP Surf Goddess (Amazon doesn't say that). It's a great addition to an already great cd. So all together it's 17 tracks running for about 45 minutes so it's a nice length. Some of the other Queers records are so short but this one is just right. The best songs on the EP is Surf Goddess, and Get Over You. Overall, this is an excellent re-issue complete with new artwork and interesting liner notes by Joe Queer and Larry Livermore. Oh, by the way this is way cheaper at [...]. Thanks for reading!
