Not their best, but still great

"In 1992, the Queers released LOVE SONGS FOR THE RETARDED, their best album and one of the top 5 punk rock albums ever. Next they released BEAT OFF, which was almost as good. Then, in 1995, they release this album, MOVE BACK HOME. Unfortunately, MOVE BACK HOME doesn't come close to approaching the punk goodness of the prior 2 albums. The songs just don't pack the same punch, and aren't as memorable. Joe Queer himself said he thought this album was just mediocre.
But just because this album isn't as good as the prior 2 Queers albums, does that make it not worth buying? HECK NO! Joe Queer is a pop-punk genius, and even his lesser songs are a joy to listen to. I'd take any song on MOVE BACK HOME over any song from many other punk bands. Plus, the album has been remastered, and sounds ten times better than it did before. Finally, it includes the 4-song Surf Goddess EP."
