Some songs need to grow on you... Most of the songs seem like filler the first couple of listens but if you give it a couple of months, the songs will start to grow on you and you'll love them. This album is a good one. In my opinion, the very best song on this whole entire album is "The Sun Always Shines Around You". All of the other songs are great but that one has became one of my favorite songs by The Queers. Compared to "Don't Back Down" and "Love Song For the Retarded" it seems pretty weak but what I keep saying to people is that each Queers album is unique in its own way. If you are new to The Queers I wouldn't get this as your first cd by them. Pick up Love Songs or Don't Back Down first! .
THESE GUYS ROCK!
CHECK IT OUT!. I love these guys, they all grew up and made it from my hometown which kicks ass! They are the epitome of old school, ass kickin punk rock.
Great
Which gives me a very good reason to love the queers. I love The Beach Boys, I love the Ramones, I love catchy hooks, and I love origionality. It's just plain and simply GOOD MUSIC. It's the most fun, laid back, good-to-be-alive music you'll ever find. My favorite songs were "Punk Rock Confidential", "Mrs. Brown, You've Got an ugly daughter", "Today I fell in Love", "Like a Parasite", and "Tamara's a Punk", but all the songs are REALLY-REALLY catchy. It's a good thing their not famous, because I want to be selfish and keep them "my" band, because their so great. Also, they have a good sense of humor, and it looks good in my CD case along with other great bands like Rancid, Propagandhi, Bracket, The Movielife, Green Day, Less Than Jake, and The Bouncing Souls. Buy it, Wonderful.
JQ puts the 'suc' in Success
PRC is just amazing. Punk Rock Confidential is no doubt the unofficial sequel (in terms of songwriting talent) to previous Lookout! breakthrough "Don't Back Down". As with any album, it may take some time to get used to, but sooner or later, fans and non-fans alike will build a love for this 15+ track collection of love, attitude, and carefree songs. This excellent lineup consists of frontman Joe Queer, guitarist Dangerous Dave, bassist Chris Almighty (of John Cougar Concentration Camp fame) and Steve Stress beatin' the skins. Songs that really stick out are "Tamara's a Punk", "Everything's OK", "Like a Parasite", and the title track, but every song is awesome in its own way. A must-buy, especially if you like Don't Back Down.
hmmm
I would admit that there are a few songs on this album that are good. I don't understand how anyone could give this cd 5 stars. I like Tamara is a punk, Today I fell in love, and the sappy the Sun always shines around you. Ok, so that's not the only sappy song here. But most of these songs are throwaways. It used to be the short songs that seemed like Queers throwaways would end up being the songs you listened to years later. That's not the case anymore. But hey, this is loads better than their next album.
