May be too deep for the average rocker

"I love metal and even I'll admit that metalheads can be a pretty dense lot. We love it loud and fast with minimal intelligence. Green Jelly (still Jello to me) are the masters of lyrics as well as harmonies. The album kicks of with Carnage Rules and doesn't let up at all. This album is heavy, real heavy, it may be too heavy for some (all you Warrant fans). Listen to the song Anthem and you'll know what sex, drugs, and rock n roll are all about. Let 'er rip!



The album is based on a very complicated story. Even more intense than The Elder by KISS. 333 is the half-life of the Beast. It involves carbon dating and complicated symbology. If you begin your trek towards understanding the secrets of 333, beware. There's no looking back once you start. Was Jesus a Martian? Is Wisconsin hell? Does St. Francis of Asissi really hold the secret to tme travel? The answers are yours to discover"

Compaction Of One

"More direct and focused than Cereal Killer Soundtrack but often equally amusing, 333 finds Green Jelly continuing to parody heavy metal, thrash metal and alternative rock with highly entertaining results. The band is still too self-indulgent for its own good at times, but it's less of a problem than before. Though nothing on this CD is in a class with "Three Little Pigs," tracks like "The Bear Song" (which almost sounds like a sequel to "Pigs"), "Jerk," "Carnage Rules" and "Pinata Hed" showed that the rockers still weren't afraid to have a great deal of fun. Consistently irreverent, Jelly doesn't hesitate to parody everyone from Ministry to Guns N' Roses to the Beastie Boys."

Classic Band

"It makes me sad to know that a talented rock band like this had to break up. I'm not for sure why but for whatever reason it must of been real bad.
Green Jelly (originaly named Green Jello) got sued by Jello company because they named there band after the snack. So Jello company got pissed and sued. If you want my opinion that's just plain stupid. It didn't hurt anyone.
"Cereal Killer Soundtrack" was good but nothing beats this album. From "Carnage Rules" to "The Bear Song" you can't help yourself but to just get up and dance around. There is a song on this album that makes me sad. "Anthem" talks about sex, drugs and rock n'roll and the song has a nice slow goofy beat to it. It reminds me so much of the 90's.
Nothing can bring back the earlier 90's unlike this CD. Green Jelly ~ 10 stars out of 10 starsAlso check these out:Larry Pierce: Dirty Old Man
