The Queers are back on Lookout and back to their golden age sound (Love Songs for the Retarded through Don’t Back Down). They haven’t been this poppy in years, ever since Joe King decided to become a curmudgeon, releasing lackluster, un-fun albums on Hopeless.

The tunes here are catchy, positive, cute, and fun. Even negative songs like “Generation of Swine” and “See You Later Fuckface” are sung more in good humor than in the sourpuss whiny way of their albums in the recent past.

The heavy Ramones influence is back (prevalent in “I Wanna Be Happy”), as is the Beach Boys-ish vocal harmonizing (“I Never Got The Girl”). Glad to have the Queers we know and love back, and I have to say, this album is very much worth the wait.

Bottom Line:
Notable Tracks: Get A Life & Live It, It’s Cold Outside, Danny Vapid, Tic Tic Toc, You Just Gotta Blow My Mind, Debbie Be True
Overall Rating:
