"Imagine the hoot you get from an unexpected gift and that's what the Q's give you. From the rodent's rocking raucous Rat Bait to the farmer's female fixation Big Fat Tractor, these guys and gal belt out wretched tales of lust, fear, perversity and pure redneck ignorance over a pulverizing off-road beat. The party-picker-upper Stock Car Sin: "monkey number one took the senator's niece, caked her thighs with axel grease, laid her on a prestressed bench and tightened his lugs with a socket wrench" and "the preacher's wife was in stock car sin, they know it's evil, can't help but like it". The peon pounding pulsar Working in the Nut Plant: "and on my skull from the front to the back, they say I'm living with a six inch crack-OUUUUUUUUUWH". Now my head is cracked."
One of the best albums you've never heard

3 & 1/2 Stars: Good But They Got Better

"This is early, energetic, and now somewhat dated Q's. Although lyrics like "Your baby is a big fat tractor" never get old in my book. What needs to be reissued is their excellent, underrated, '86 recording 'Blue Tomorrow.' It's not as much fun, but the songs are better: more serious, a little darker, less B-52's-influenced, at times Springsteenian-with-a-Southern-twist (and I love the cover with the ponies). Their '89 finale, sans Boston, 'World War 2.5' is also very good but misses Boston."
Classic Vintage Punk!

"If you never saw the Q's live, I'm so sorry!
I saw them twice while attending Clemson University during the early 80's.
I'm a musician, and I still enjoy playing some of their stuff!
My seven-year-old daughter (dancer) loves "Big Fat Tractor" just to name one!
The musicianship is excellent, and the lyrics are what they should be - totally unapologetic!
If you like classic punk, buy this. If you don't, hey, why are you reading this?"
