Full review

This album was one that a lot of people were going to be looking forward to after the surprising success of the first single 'Teenage Dirtbag'. It is not an album that should be taken seriously at all as the lyrics talk of nothing other than comical matters. With song titles such as: 'Hump 'em Dump 'em' and 'Truffles' you can't expect the album to be written about the troubles of corruption and the turmoils of life. No, this is quite refreshing to hear them talk of matters such as what they hide under their kilts (strange I know).

It follows the style of the single and well I couldn't really highlight one track that is anything to extraordinary and this album is ok but not one that will endure the years. It is good fun to listen to every few days and will provide some entertainment but don't expect anything that will last too long.

Right the best tracks are: Hump 'em Dump 'em, Leroy, Teenage Dirtbag and Punk A** B**** in my view. They are not heavy songs and they are quite lighthearted and reasonably fast songs. Leroy starts with an undistorted, quiet beginning to it but it speeds up for the chorus, it is a good song and if you like TD then you will like it. Overall most of the songs are pretty equal the last track Wannabe Gangstar is a bit weak as he tries to rap in it but it isn't too bad still. Hump 'em... is good because it is fast and catchy as is Punk a** b****. The singing in the album is a bit different to TD it is not quite as high pitch and I think that it is a worthwhile buy if you like the single. This is how I rate them in order of how good the song is with the best at 1:
1.Teenage Dirtbag
2.Leroy
3.Hump 'em dump 'em
4.Punk a** b****
5.Truffles
6.Hey, Mr. Brown
7.Sunshine
8.Wannabe Gangstar
9.Love is a mutt from hell
10.A Little Respect

Plus the album is only 32 minutes long so it is a bit short also but I think that it is still good and you will probably enjoy it. There you go that is my added bit to the review for you
