"I picked this one up from Asian Man out of curiousity, and I was blown away. One could say that the Blue Meanies encompass several genres of music, but I daresay they've created an entirely new one. Their music is crazy, violent, and fun as hell. "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" has the sounds of punk, ska, polka, jazz, and metal all mixed in, but it never clings to one of these and always knock's the listener's ears off-guard. Every time I listen to this record, I hear something new within the melody, harmony, timbre, or rhythm that I did not notice before. To put it simply, it's mindblowing. I recommend that everyone who is a fan of punk, metal, ska (especially 3rd wave), jazz, or any type of music to pick up this CD. It is well worth it."
