4.0 out of 5 stars How to make punk and entertain people, 28 May 2003
After owning a version of this album on a dusty old crackled tape for many years I was looking forward to hearing it again in all it's glory. It was worth the wait!
This album is a must if you like your punk short, sharp and catchy.
Opening track Planet Of The Apes is a cracking way to start the album and is, excuse the pun, top banana.Personal favourite 99, it's riff and lyrics both with nods to Ramones (Beat on the Brat and Danny Says respectively), is pure pop punk at it's finest.
I Hate Your Guts.. is so snotty it's almost childlike and Jonny R U Weird? is a bizarre love song. The manic Time Bomb and the 'got to get out of my seat and bop' Burnt Out Girl are guaranteed to get you moving and just when you thought it was safe to sit down you're hit with If I Was You and Nobody Likes You. Degenerate growls and snarls it's way in to the wonderfully soppy poppy Surf Goddess (which I believe was a song that Joe King from The Queers started and Ben Weasel finished). The last three songs aren't as good as the rest of the album - Kathy Isn't Right and Kathy's On The Roof sound the same and I Wrote Holden Caulfield (apart from being a cheeky answer to the 'Green Day' song Who Worte Holden Caulfield) isn't that great either. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad songs - but that's why it's got 4 out of 5. Anyway by the time you've got to the end you'll be wanting to start it all over again and you'll forget about the weak ending.
If you like Screeching Weasel and haven't got this get it. If you've never heard them this isn't a bad place to start.
People who like to know stuff may like to know that Mike Dirnt from 'Green Day' played bass on this album. People who don't - won't.
Anyway I'm off to listen it to it again!

4.0 out of 5 stars How to make pop punk and entertain people, 18 April 2003
After having a copy of this album on a chewed up tape for years I couldn't wait to hear it again in all it's glory and it doesn't fail to deliver.
To me this is what Screeching Weasel are all about - blasts of snotty pop-punk that get your fingers popping and your feet tapping.
The album was recorded in 1994 before the band broke up for the second time and has some of my favourite Screeching Weasel songs on it. Opener 'Planet of the Apes' is (excuse the pun) top banana
and is followed by my personal favourite '99'.
The next seven songs, including the manic 'Time Bomb' and the air punching 'Burnout Girl' are faultless. Things slow down a notch or two for 'Surf Goddess', a song that Ben Weasel completed after Joe King from the Queers had sent him a rough demo of it years before, but it's as you were for the remaining three songs. The final three tracks aren't as strong as the others but by the albums finished you won't care as you'll be listening to it all over again.
As a final point this album has Mike Dirnt from Green Day on bass duties and the song 'I Wrote Holden Caulfield' - presumably in answer to the Green Day song 'Who Wrote Holden Caulfield'
