Average

This album I would say is average maybe a little above. I'd say it has two down falls lyrics and variety. All the songs kinda sound the same and are about the same thing. Basically the singer tries to hard to be "Metal". I'd say that if your looking for something very simular go for Skid Row or Motley Crue who do sound much like this band. The worst idea of all was however to cover the song "Cats In The Cradle". Heres why, the song is basically about a son and father who don't have enough time for each other. When the son is young he wants to spend time with his dad but he is too busy and when the dad gets older he wants to spend time with his son but he's too busy. Than to the to singing "And the cats in the cradle and the sliver spoon little jimmy... and the man on the moon" what is that supposed to mean. On the postive even though the songs sound a lot alike the instrumentals and singing got a different sound from typical metal. Plus with a name like that you'd think they would just be extremely terrible which they are not. In the end if you want a real metal cd stay away but if you like poppy music you may like this.

I guess some things just can't compete with Blizzard Beasts

Before you decide whether to call someone's opinion helpful, read their other reviews. This CD was not overlooked in its time and yes, millions of people did in fact buy it. It is incredibly funny and the band is moderately musically talented. The lyrics are inane but the riffs and solos are top-notch.

As far as posterity goes, people will probably not buy a million more copies of this CD in the future. However, they will remember a few songs on it with a nod and maybe a chuckle. That's more than we can say for anything Overkill or Hollowman has produced or ever will produce.

not for the serous-minded

this patrick dude is obviously jealous that his folk down under don't have any famous bands (except AC/DC and midnight oil, which are beyond anyone's notion of "bad"). i'm writing this review simply because i'm (...)that some (...)writing (...) about someone who's died very young in a tragic bike accident (whitfield's dead,...). this is one of the albums i grew up with so it sort of has a sentimental value for me. anyone who picks this up looking for superb musicianship, creative arrangements and deep, philosophical lyrics and sh*t is either misguided or just a(...). this is simply care-free, humorous biker/surfer/glam rock at its best. anyone who's heard "everything about you" knows what they're in store for. UKJ have later on actually taken a slightly more "serious" turn with "motel califiornia", but this is still a great album. fun to listen to. i listen to a lot of various (...), . but i like this just as same. a simplistic, fun and catchy album. perfect soundtrack for a ride by the beach on a hot summer's day (topped off with a cold beer, of course). they might not have a street named after them and they might not floor you with their mind-boggling musicianship and intricate lyrics and ideas, but in every person's life there are moments when you get sick of that cr*p (especially during the summer, when you feel just too good and light-hearted for anything else). well, "america's least wanted" just might be what you need right then.
