I cannot believe this album is still in my collection. There is one redeeming aspect to this album, an appearance by Vanilla Ice. (He is credited as Rob Van Winkle in the liner notes). While I was in high school Vanilla Ice came to play at my home town. I believe he may be the only act to be able to claim that outside of Beatles tribute bands. Some of us tried to attend the show, but unfortunately the show was 18 and over only. Since none of us had a fake ID, we were banished to the parking lot. We were able to hear some of the show from there, but was not the memorable experience I was hoping for. As for Bloodhound Gang, I did throughly enjoy their album Hooray for Boobies. For the time being that CD remains in the collection and their first album Finger Lickin' Good remains in my cassette collection. The reason I do not enjoy this album is not the juvenile humor, but the lack of rhythm to the lyrics and the forgettable beats.
There are quite a few humorous lines sprinkled throughout the CD, that make me smile reading the lyrics, but hearing them executed was another thing. The only aspect of the album that I can appreciate more now than as a teen are jokes at the expense of New Jersey.
Songs I Liked: Boom, Going Nowhere Slow
Songs that can be forgotten to the sands of time: The other 10 tracks
Decision: Another one bites the dust.
