5.0 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure, July 20, 2001

By	R. T. Shepherd (Chas, South Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tempus Fugit, and so in middle age the wise listen to serious music and abandon television for the novel. But wait! There is always time to monitor punk rock. After all, one might want to write a review. Last night I monitored "Weird World Volume 1" as I painted, and after a time all of the words and melodies came back to me from those glory days of hippie baiting and seeking out dadaesque 45s. How The Weirdos came up with such astonishing music I can't say, and why musicians today to not aspire to such glory is best left for psychoanalyists to explain. You must hear this fourteen song collection, the perfect compliment to both Fear and the Germ's debut albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd rate punkers? Hardly..., April 17, 2001

By A Customer

The Weirdos are one of the greatest of the early punk bands. I love every song on this album, and the more you hear them the better they get. My favorite song is "Fort U.S.A", a both funny and disturbing song about gun control: "Well everybody's got a gun; and you dont have to be 21" This band is awesome and is essential to any punk fan or rock and roll fan. I also want other volumes! Volume 1, what a tease.

4.0 out of 5 stars What went wrong? They should have been huge!, May 13, 1998

By	Kevin Hillskemper([e-mail]) (Mercer Island, WA) - See all my reviews

"We Got the Neutron Bomb" is one of the best songs ever. Too bad it's so dated. My ears recently stopped ringing from their St. Patricks Day '81 show at the Starwood in LA. John Denney dressed like a leprechaun and Dix Denney was Godzilla or something. If the world was just and "Happy People" was the giant blockbuster hit that it deserved to be, the 80's would have been completely different.
