CD Reviews

One of the 5 best punk rock albums... ever
R. Berahovich | Berkeley, CA USA | 09/25/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Love Songs For The Retarded is the best album by the best punk rock band on the planet (after the Ramones, of course). Originally released in 1992 and remastered in 2007, this album is chock full of brilliant pop-punk gems, ranging from fast headbangers ("You're Tripping", "I Can't Stop Farting") to slower (but never slow), more introspective songs ("Granola Head", "Debra Jean"). Singer/songwriter/guitarist Joe Queer has done what few punk songwriters have accomplished: write catchy, memorable songs filled with punk nastiness AND pop hooks. In addition, the songs are even more impressive because they are flavored with the Beach Boys, Beatles and other 50's/60's music influences. And importantly, the songs are presented with a perfect punk sound: distorted buzzsaw guitar, loud & heavy bass and relatively reserved drums (but with primo fills). Really, this album has to be heard to be believed."
