Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Munki Brain" is the 15th release from one of the hardest working bands in punk rock. THE QUEERS have been touring and releasing music for over 20 years, and in that time have garnered a huge following of devout fans. Sarcastic, silly, and offensive, Joe King and THE QUEERS have been called the true succesors to punk kings THE RAMONES. It's not hard to see why, and Joe has often collaberated with such musicians as Ben Weasel and Marky Ramone. "Munki Brain" is sure to become another classic in a long line of hits.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Queers are Back!, February 6, 2007

By	Heath Benson (Stevensville, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, that's right. The Queers have returned and show no signs of old age. It's kind of amazing how a legendary band this old can still put out an album that sounds just as good as their stuff back in the day. This has 13 tracks and all still have the Queers sound that we love. Duke Kahanamoku, and I Can't Stay Mad At You, both have that Beach Boys vibe that The Queers like to throw in. One thing that you will notice though when you listen to this is that you can hear some maturity and also some experimentation. For example, I Think She's Starting To Like Me, is a simple 2 minute song but in the middle it kind of goes in a direction that you probably wouldn't hear from the Queers. Some other highlights are I'm A Fool, and the excellent closer for the album, Brian Wilson. There is also a couple guest musicians on this record including, Ben Weasel with his song Tangerine, and Lisa Marr on the vocals for Brian Wilson. This is a very solid record and other bands this age couldn't put out a record as good as Munki Brain. Congratulations Joe Queer, we hope to see many more albums after this! Buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Queer's Best, April 29, 2008

By	Joseph E. Reboudo "JR" (Cleveland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

'Munki Brain' is easily one of the best Queers albums ever, and it's their best album since 'Punk Rock confidential. I thought 'Pleasant Screams' was going to be the band's last awesome album but 'Munki Brain' is even better than that one.

The Queers always manage to put out albums that blow their competition out of the water. I actually think their newer stuff is better than their older stuff. 'Munki Brain' is proof that things like the Queers only get better with age.

4.0 out of 5 stars The newest album, April 17, 2007

By	D. Francella "GutterPunk" (Suburbia, wash D.C) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pretty much when you buy a queer's album you pretty much know what your getting into. It sound just like their previous album 2002 Pleasant Screams. Basically it has 13 2 1/2 minute ramones sounding pop-punk songs. All 13 songs sound exactlly the same. Which is not a bad thing. That is why I pretty much like all their albums.
The best two songs on this records are "Houston we Have a problem" and "think she's starting to like me".
The greatest thing now is that Asian Man records is reissueing all their lookout record releases. That totally awsome. I just bought "Beat off", "Move Back Home" and "Grow up". Since lookout went out business.
Are the queers my favorite pop punk band ? Probally, I like the first two Greenday records and almost all of the Screaching Weasel records and Squirtgun and The Riverdales.
Lookout I think the best collection of Pop punks bands.
So If you heard any other queers album and liked you'll definately enjoy this CD.
