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

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 American Punk rock album ever..., January 29, 2005

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

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dead Boys - 'Young Loud & Snotty' (Warner Brothers), June 17, 2005

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Apparently the Dead Boy's very first album.Prime,no compromising and top of it's genre '70's punk to be experienced.Some of the tunes here that I'm hearing the original lp version of for the first time are "Sonic Reducer","I Need Lunch","Caught With The Meat In Your Mouth" and "Down In Flames".A true keeper.Long live Stiv Bators!Should appeal to most fans of The Germs,The Damned,Sex Pistols,early AC/DC and The Ramones.
