"Oh brother. Dickie and Mickey Moist strike again.Mickey (aka Mickey Melchiondo, aka Dean Ween) is one of the founders of Ween, and along with Dickey (no idea), he gets his hard rocks off in a major way on this album. Reminiscent of some of the darker moments on Ween's "The Pod," Turbonegro, and maybe early Metallica, this album kicks ass, if nothing else. Loud guitars with occassional heroics, screaming lyrics that are hilarious when intelligible, and huge reverb drum machines frame the sound, which more or less makes me feel like I'm driving around in a Camaro after taking bad acid.This music is not for the casual Ween fan, or the weak of heart. As the dust jacket warns, "using this product may cause smoking." If you have doubts, stay away.If you are among the chosen, well, you know who you are."
Yum,yum. Delicious.

"Nice, tasty beef of rock with much gravy on top. There's much fresh blood in it. I like it!"

"Moistboyz are the salvation of modern music. If you like rock-your-...-in-the-dirt music, then Moistboyz are for you. Production of the first two albums leaves much to be desired, but the songs are still good. I heard a remake that will combine the two recordings is in the making. III is a must have. Best tracks are: The Reaper, The Tweaker, and The Walker."
Musty stink of sameness even in it's brevity

"2 1/2 stars
There are a few good songs on here- when the duo remain focused and articulated in their hellbilly vibe the sweetly distorted riffs actually compliment the vulgar, drugged out lyrics. Oftentimes though the songs feel gimmicky and cheap when the Moistboyz formula is all too apparent, as opposed to the really good songs on the album, which demonstrates Ween's extraordinary abilities to borrow from different genres. I like the cynical ode to rock they are riding, I just wish they could own up to the concept a little more rather then rock on constant autopilot."
Just As s kicking fun

"Dang, I can't say enough good things. This is similar to the last two albums with the exception that it seems with this album they actually take themselves seriously as a band rather than a novelty. This tends to lean more to some 80's type nonstop rock then the hardcore punk-metal of before. It's all nice and good drinking no bullsh@t rock regardless. Do yourself a favor."
