Balls-out punk rock and roll
Less overtly poppy than the albums that followed, everything's louder than everything else and Joe Queer leads us through twelve tracks of gritty punk rock with his trademark snarl (before it became a parody of itself) and surf-inspired leads. This album rocked me from the first time it hit my record player all those years ago.

Beware the remaster on Asian Man records, which competes with the original master of "Love Songs for the Retarded" for the title of "Most Castrated Queers Masterpiece". Like LSFTR, this album was always meant to be loud and raw. Lose that and you might as well just skip it.


Not all "the early stuff" is good
The Queers are much better when Joe is singing. Don't waste your time with this album. Get Don't Back Down, or Love Songs for the Retarded instead. Or if you really want this album, you can have my copy.


thank god for queers!
Hard punk, less pop. This album is a lot like "A Day Late And A Dollar Short" or "Beyond The Valley". Loud, fast and lacking of smooth studio polish. The way punk should be. I can't make out one word in "Junk Freak", but it's one of my favorite Queer's songs ever. And "Boobarella" and "Gay Boy" give this album the strong abbrasive political incorrectness that Joe King is the master of. BUY THIS ALBUM!.


THE BEAT GOES ON!
This CD is the best! It has Great lyrics and is defenitly worth buying! Where else could you find lyrics like " I met her at the rat"? This CD deserves to be bought and played over and over, even if your not a big punk,ska,oi fan this CD will convince you to be one!.


AAGGGHHH!!!
A perfect combination of surfy pop, Ramones-in-your-face punk rock and lyrics about girls, girls and Burger King. Should be a part of every punk rock record collection. This and "Love Songs. . . " are the quintessential Queers albums!.
