CD Reviews

NEVER RETIRE
Davdi Sutom | San Francisco, CA USA | 09/18/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"5 stars go out to this latest offering from the Moistboyz who, [...] These guys have a combined musical legacy that spans decades and in general they've always been more out on the edge than their contemporaries at a given time.



IV seems like a departure for them lyrically and musically and they've somehow carved a fresh sound out of musical elements lifted from rock's nastiest moments. As expected there are maniacally funny moments where they shovel over the stinky piles of moldy American trash they always have (Roy, Everybody's fucked her). However, this time there's some dead-serious material -"I dont give a fuck where the eagle flies" and "The year of the maggot"- (both of which absolutely NAIL the current political/social situation in the USA with brutal honesty and clear vision) that takes the music to a level not previously reached.



It is rare these days to hear anyone speak truthfully about where we are as a society, let alone scream it at the top of their lungs in front of a band, but the Moistboyz do so and have not only the balls, but the musical/lyrical intelligence and sincere emotion necessary to make it ring true.



Aside from the above the record never lets down the energy and sonically is their best to date. Hope this doesn't sound cliche, but they seem to have really found their sound as a band and I look forward to seeing them live as they tear through this material. Cheers gentlemen, I look forward to many years of great music from all of you."
Kick-ass rock & roll, plain and simple

"the Moistboyz got alot of attention back in the day because Mickie Moist (aka Dean Ween) was also the guitarist in Ween. but the M.B.'s are an entirely seperate entity of their own. the must isn't complicated, its not artistic, its not thinking man's music. its just basic, pissed off, rough, don't give a f*ck rock & roll. period. if you like old Black Flag, The Stooges, and Verbal Abuse, you might dig this CD."
