5.0 out of 5 stars Best American Punk rock album ever..., January 29, 2005

By 

James Anderson "man in black" (Bear, Delaware) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Young Loud & Snotty (Audio CD)

This album is quite simply the best American punk rock album ever recorded. In the entire punk genre it rates only behind "Never Mind the Bullocks" as the second best punk album of all time. When music buff friends who aren't familiar with the punk genre ask me what it's all about, I invariably point them twords those two albums. Usually it's "Young loud and Snotty" that I tell them to give a listen to first. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Dead Boys in concert back in '76 or '77 and it was the best rock concert of any kind I have ever attended (and I have seen hundreds). Sorry I don't quite remember the date, those years are still kind of a blur, ya know. There was pogo-ing and slam dancing a-plenty as the Boys did the songs from this album. It was a powerful, visceral explosion of punk rage, and this is what comes across when you play this album. I was an angry, alienated teenager when this album came out, and I felt like it was speaking directly to me. Now, as an angry, alienated adult, it's still speaking to me. It sprays a machine-gun blast of angry obscenities at the world so I don't have to. Thanks Dead Boys! You guys are a hell of a lot cheaper than expensive psychotherapy. This album is a must have for anyone interested in punk rock and the influence it has had on later music. Stiv lives!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Ain't Got Enough Stars...A Masterpiece!, January 24, 1999

By 

Doctor Ivan (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Young Loud & Snotty (Audio CD)

From the opening chords of "Sonic Reducer" through it's final seconds of mayhem "Young, Loud and Snotty" truly lives up to it's title.

The Dead Boys possessed the essential tools of a great punk outfit: ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE and especially ATTITUDE! I defy any hard rock fan to resist the charms of one of Punk Rock's definitive documents. This collection of rip roaring odes to nihilism is right up there with "Never Mind The Bollocks,Here's The Sex Pistols" and deserves, as well as earns the same "raise your fist" respect. Nothing cerebral here folks, this potion of noise consists of angst,volume, swagger and snear. You wouldn't want it any other way.

You gotta love it. If you don't ...You're as Dead as Stiv Bators!

5.0 out of 5 stars best of it's kind, November 8, 2003

By 

Carl Slim (the factory) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Young Loud & Snotty (Audio CD)

This is probably the best of late 70's American punk-yes, probably even better than the Ramones. It's cheesy, heavy metal-ish, and it's easy to see why it has gotten so little respect for so long. There are no artistic pretensions here, also no social protest. There's imagination in the lyrics, but mainly aggression, loneliness, horniness. This recalls The Stooges (although these guys aren't so loose). It also puts you in mind of the MC5, Shadows of Knight, Count 5, later Troggs, maybe early Stones. This sounds good on alternative radio, but I've also heard it on metal shows. There's nothing experimental here, but the songs hit you as original within the context of straight ahead Rock. Highly recommended for fans of punk, proto punk, metal, alternative.
