5.0 out of 5 stars C.O.C., September 7, 2005

By	Phlick "Phlick" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I don't care what ANYONE says, this is one of my FAVORITE GWAR CDs. They go out on a different path on this one, and it's a good change. The songs are catchy and cool. It's a very creative album. Some GWAR fans think everything has to be heavy, heavy, heavy. Heavy isn't everything. This album has heavy moments, but for the most part, it's a great rock/punk concept album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Odd......Even For Gwar, February 15, 2005

By	Stanley Runk "Runkdapunk" (Camp North Pines) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is usually looked at as Gwar's worst album, or one of them at least. Sure, they strayed from the metal sound we've gotten used to up to this point and decided to play up the humor angle and experiment with different styles. The metal's still here, but it's not constant and sometimes it's mixed with other music styles. Basically Gwar have done what Helloween did with Pink Bubbles Go Ape and Chameleon. I personally like this experimentation. Not every song is a winner of course. This is probably Gwar's longest cd, running over an hour, so you know not all 18 tracks can be winners. You'll actually be a bit surprised by how good some of the songs here are. In fact, I'd have to say some of Gwar's best songs can be found here. It's worth checking out. Gwar have since gone back to the metal sound that they're known for, but it's interesting to hear this musical detour along with We Kill Everything, which also is a bit different for them as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite GWAR Album, December 6, 2002

By	George Pelosi (North Canton , Ohio) - See all my reviews

I don't care what anyone else says, this is a good GWAR album, Yeah these other guyes say that these songs make no sense, well, Hello its GWAR! I would not really take life advice from any of their albums. The Scallop Boat song, Blame it on the Lightman and Penguin Attack are very good musically and have interesting
chorus changes after each break. The songs are crafty, borderline silly, but loads of fun. The guitar solos are nothing to write home about. I have most other GWAR CD's, but this one is still my favorite because sometimes you just gotta let loose and not take life so seriously!
