And its helping absolutely no one, not the band, the fans or even the label thinking they can suck in more money if they cut the most vile track from the album so stores like Sam Goody where Gwar fans don't even shop would sell it. First they ruined We Kill Everything now they ruined this, I suspect America Must Be Destroyed will be next. Gwar needs to pack their bags and leave this wimp metal label. What really hurts bad is that I lost this CD awhile back and bought it expecting the full album in all its uncut glory looking forward to center core song on of the album B.D.F. which has been cut along with a really cool hidden techno hidden track thats in their movie SKULHEDFACE along with CESORED ARTWORK as well. Gwar must not stand for this!

Anyways, this another classic Gwar album, their most different album to date. More thrashy sloppy punk sounding than anything else they've ever done, this is one of their most violent albums (ties close with America Must Be Destroyed). The drums sound like meat cleavers smashing into a skull, everything about this album is ugly. The songs carreen out of control near the end and turn into sloppy pukey songs that sound like they were made up in 3 seconds to fill up the album. Its great! Goes from carefully constructed songs to BLAHRRLARJHRHGGHGHGHG.

Good luck finding the uncut version with the extra track. Don't waste your time on this cut up crap. Next time you're at a Gwar show see if Dave Brockie has any in the bus for sale.

I love this record. It is the bands most diverse album, not as heavy as it's 3 predecessors. It is also their most controversial. If you can find the version with BDF on it don't hesitate to snatch it up. I unfortunatly could not find it.
My favorite song is the opening track "Saddom a go go" with its brilliant use of saxaphone and trumpet. My second favorite is "Krack Down" which just flat out kicks ass! And "Skullheadface" is like something straight out of a musical.
This is GWAR's third best record behind "A.M.B.D, and "Scumdogs"
Buy it!

This album is definitely up there with me in GWAR's discography because it is the most humorous and also the most diverse. I love this album a lot but it can't compete with War Party, my new favorite. This album is right about when, most people say, that GWAR descended into their crappy era, but I still love this. My version is sans BDF, but it's still excellent. It's higher up there than WKE and just barely above VHA, but War Party is the best album I've heard, other than 12 Inches of Snow. This album though has its high points, The Insidious Soliloquoy of Skulhed Face, Sonderkommando, and Eat Steel, but also it has a couple of not so great moments, Filthy Flow and Obliteration of Flab Quarv 7. I'm not saying they're bad songs, only that they don't strike me quite like the other tracks. This album is great, every GWAR fan should have it in their collection. Buy it now!

I have listened to Gwar for many years, and I've never been able to pull myself away from this album. It is without question their most musical album, and it is also their darkest album. Oderus is at his most believable and serious while singing these tracks and his growls, mixed with the (believe it or not) emotional instrumentals of his bandmates, makes for one scary album. I know this is a different opinion than many of the reviewers who find a lot of humor in this album, but whenever I listen to this album I hear a group of guys who aren't just in character, but actually believe they are the scumdogs of the universe who have seen the years without light.

Although this album may be overshadowed by such albums by Gwar as Violence has Arrived and Scumdogs of the Universe, it should definatly not be looked over. The lyrics in this album surpass all the other albums in humor and the musicality, although they are no Dream Theater, they definatly know how to play their instruments. At first listen, there are some catchy songs, but nothing that special, then once you listen again and again it really grows on you. This now is my favorite GWAR album. It's not the heaviest, or the longest, but i believe it is the fullest. It shows a variety of music and the lyrics never let you down. Of course, none of their albums are even close to as good as seeing GWAR live, but if your not fortunate enough to be able to do that, this is the next best thing.

At first listen i wasnt all that impressed, but it grew on me fast. This is near the top on my favorite gwar albums, with america must be destroyed and scumdogs being my favorite, although thier new album beyond hell is creeping its way up the list the more i listen to it. I first got this album about 6-7 years ago and was wondering why it had track 9 listed on the back but no name for a song, until i realized i had a copy without B.D.F. so i went to a local music store that used to order anything u could want if they didnt have it in store, but the original was out of print. Then a guy i worked with said he was going to florida on vacation and was going to some shop that always had rare cd's, so i said look for toilet earth and get it if it has all the songs on it. well he came back and handed it over, and it only cost 6 bucks! best money i ever spent, this toilet earth is a great album and B.D.F is one of my favorite gwar songs.

musically it is a little different than earlier stuff but still just as good and about as heavy, just a little more range in style on the songs. only song i really dont like on it is the issue of tissue, othere than that the rest are all good, with Saddam a go-go, penis i see, krak down, b.d.f. , and slap u around being my favorites. also if u see a copy with b.d.f on it, pick it up, its worth it.

This Toilet Earth is a great album but definatly not my favorite from the metal gods known as GWAR. Standout tracks in which are awesome are "Jack the World", "Sonderkommando", "Krak Down", "Saddam a Go-GO", "Eat Steel", "Penis I See", "Fight", "Bad Bad Men" and pretty much all the tracks. The only tracks that prevent this album from receiving 5 stars are "Pepperoni" and "Pocket Pool" which are kind of annoying. By all means pick this album up but don't make it your first album from them.

That idiot wouldn't know good music if if smashed his face! Go vote hisreview 'not helpful'.
Now onto the album, it's a great one. It isn't as heavy as its predessor, but better than CoC and Hell-O. My fav songs are:
Saddam a Go-Go
P***s I See
Krak down
Sondorcommando

PS, I didn't get the uncensored version.

Many call This Toilet Earth Gwar's "experimental" album, but don't be fooled--it's not too different from the band's other work. Sure, Gwar tries a few different genres here, and the result is a mixed bag...but not because of the variety. Rather, this album never gelled into a complete and seamless Gwar experience for me because the songs are very, *very* hit-and-miss. When they're on, they're great (Saddam A Go-Go, Penis I See, Sonderkommando, Jack the World, Pepperoni, Skullhedface, Krak Down, Slap U Around), but when they're off, it's very disappointing: the only solid songs are the ones above, and due to the album's sequencing, the spotty songs really screw up the pacing and detract in a big way. This Toilet Earth is a decent Gwar album, but it doesn't have the staying power many of the other ones do. Highlights: Saddam A Go Go, Penis I See, Sonderkommando, Krak Down.

Well unfortuantaly metal blade records had to take off BDF from the album cuz it is GWAR's most disgusting song. If you want the song on mp3 or wav format email me at Zefus666@hotmail.com and i will hook you up with BDF.
