This is actually one of my favorite DMM albums. I think it shows a more "grown-up" side of the Philly quartet. They ponder some of life's more serious aspects, at the same time, prove they haven't lost their sense of humor. They've definitely improved musically and lyrically and the difference is obvious in this recording. Eariler albums contained songs that seemed to be more of a collection of 45 to 90-second rants, whereas this album contains longer more melodic tunes. Joe and Rodney seem to split the vocal duties a great deal on this one so you get a good dose of both guys lyrical stylings. Maybe not great for a new DMM fan, but a definite must-have for a seasoned veteran.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of sad, April 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Stoney's Extra Stout (Pig) (Audio CD)

This album was a disappointment for me and, along with Not RIchard, But Dick, ties for the DM's worst efforts. Even Joe Jack Talcum stated that making this album was a big mistake. It's easy to see that the band ran out of gas on these last two releases. Peter Bazooka, the only song they made a video for, is only average when looking at the complete library of DM songs. It's too bad they had to end this way. I give it 3 stars simply because it IS the Dead Milkmen. I don't knock this album as being bad, but as far DM goes, it's only average at best.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the milkmen's strongest albums!, July 6, 2001

I don't understand the bad publicity surrounding this album; it is funny, well-paced, and musical. In fact, I'd argue that this is their strongest release next to Metaphysical Grafitti & Not Richard But Dick, and their strongest in terms of sheer musicality. If you are a teeny-bopper that likes raw punk, then you won't like this album; if you are someone who can appreciate the evolution and maturation of a band over the years, then this album is for you. "Peter Bazooka" remains one of the cleverest Dead Milkmen tracks ever, and Khrissy, I can't stay awake, and Big Deal are amazing in their own right. Don't let the sour-pusses deter you from a great album; This is one I've listened to at least 50 times all the way through - there is a lot of good stuff here, for those able to realize that the Dead Milkmen are more than a angsty-punk band.
