In a world where idiots like Avril Lavigne and Finley (who have the audacity to call themselves Punkrock) are praised, pampered, and adored, there is little room for true Punkers, "now a thing of the past," who had something to say and skills to demonstrate, like Guttermouth. No one knows what I'm talking about, obviously, (too much for you lovers of teen pop, with eyes glued to MTV), who have forgotten what Rock music is and think you are rebels. Well, then screw you and turn the page.

The album reviewed here may not be a masterpiece, but it is such pure, sincere, fast punk that it captivates from the first listen. Success and popularity have been denied to Guttermouth, but never their inspiration and especially their underground notoriety, which they will probably carry with them throughout their career. Musical Monkey mixes the power pop of the "blue album" with the speed of Punk rock bands like Rancid, Nofx, and Millencolin, enough to invent skate punk. Hardcore punk elements are also present, given that skate originated from it. And then the sound is perfect, with fast and cheeky songs like Do the hustle, What's the big deal, and others that are slower, like Lipstick, up to the angry and beautiful Gold and S.D.F.B.
This album comes out just as the predictable and constrained punk revival of Green Day and Blink 182 was entering the scene. It is also filled with sound effects (as the Pink Floyd did with Dark Side Of The Moon), such as the sound of a machine gun at the beginning of the solo in What' s the Big Deal, a screeching tire like Speedy Gonzales, and a burst of fireworks at the end of Do the Hustle and Lucky the Donkey.

One of the propellants of its genre, and if you liked it, move on to Covered with Ants, perhaps the best one.

On a tuesday afternoon
My mom came into my room
and said get the fuck up outta bed
and get a god damned job
so I told her hey hey fuck you mom
and I threw the phone at her head
but I missed and hit her in the SNATCH so I
slammed the door in her face
don't ever barge in my room
or I'll kick your ass and call the cops
And tell them I'm abused
and you'll wind up in jail
while I snowboard in Vail
no one to post your bail
cuz daddy loves me more
he says that your a

Now give me 20 bucks
mommy you're so worthless
you're lazy you're stupid
a little over weight
now give me 20 bucks

Now mom writes me letters
I write return to sender
Let her rot in her cell
I watch the dogs mate on her bed
sorry mom I had to pawn
the china, silver and all your jewelry
I had to eat and rent a bunch of prostitutes
like you
you're worthless you're lazy you're stupid
a little over weight
Now give me 20 bucks
mommy you're so worthless
you're lazy you're stupid
a little overweight
now give me 20 bucks

I hope your having fun rotting in jail

i think i've been infected with the flu
once again bordems got me feeling blue
sometimes in this life you`ve got to cut the crap
sit down for my rights cuz i don't care
to do what everybody else would do. i'm fine right here
i voted once but i didn't win. i'll never vote again
people say i should give a damn
people say that i should respect this land
but i say no way i wont compromise
either way my life remains the same
its great, come join me at the lake it's freshly stocked
no work just play leeching off the state all day
clears my mind
they say this is the land of the free
to me that means i have the liberty to sit for
my rights cuz i don't care
to do what everybody else would d0 i'm fine right
here
i voted once but i didn`t win i'll never vote again
god bless america home of the whopper
god bless america billions billions served
every week from moscow
to madagascar, ronald mcdonald�s smile
warms the hearts of all people regardless of race.
color, creed, sex and social status
by opening 3 new mcdonalds restaurants as
ambasador of my country, america, ronald personally
invites you to join him on his quest to end world hunger
enjoy
