5.0 out of 5 stars may as well be a greatest hits CD, October 5, 2005

By	J.J. Langr (United States) - See all my reviews

Other bands would kill for having a greatest hits collection this good. This is just one album (albeit probably the best) from a diehard act that's still going strong after gobs of albums (and infinite band replacements to back up Joe Queer). Go to a Queers show and you'll hear just about every one of these songs, including the classic "Granola Head."

So just what are the Queers? Think of the Ramones: take a singer with a somewhat nasal voice, songs with simple but powerful hook-based choruses that you can't forget ("f the world I'm hanging out with you tonight!"), and fast 3-chord guitar downstrums.

Buy this and Don't Back Down for the best introduction to the Queers. Give 'em each 3 listens and you'll either still hate 'em or you'll be hooked. I'm hooked, and have picked up everything else since then.

4.0 out of 5 stars the queers-love songs for the retarded, July 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Songs for the Retarded (Audio CD)

The Queers are my favorite pop-punk band and from what i've heard by them, this is their best release. Unbeleivably catchy songs like Ursula finally has tits and teenage bonehead will stick with you for days, whether you like it or not. If you're looking for politics or social commentaries don't look here, this is pure drinkin' an' havin' fun music for those who like to take a break and enjoy themseles every now and then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snotty Punk Rock, January 6, 2000

By	"skapunkbluesjazzrock" (Houston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Songs for the Retarded (Audio CD)

This is an awesome album for fans of snotty punk rock. The music is fast and melodic, with great, silly in your face lyrics. For fans of Beat Off this is a must-buy album, while it doesn't have the surfy songs of Beat-Off, the rest of the album is very similar to the punky songs of Beat Off. I recommend this album for fans of Ramones influenced, snotty, silly punk.
