[9/10]
On the track ‘Leave A Message..’ you hear the bands general manager leaving a message on the frontman Fronz’s phone saying ‘You said you were going to mellow out on this record and all you’re doing is getting more offensive’. This statement is totally correct for this record; it is not for the easily offended. However this is one of best party rock albums that have been released recently. The band’s 5th album sees them blend hip-hop with heavy metal and electronic influences, it may sound in theory like something that shouldn’t be worth listening to however it sounds great at parts. The opening track, ‘Middle Fingers Up’, is a real call to arms with the opening rap of: “Alright motherf****** listen up, This is for the f***ing homies steady givin no f***s, If you wanna join the party put your middle fingers up, And when the music f***in hits you better JUMP JUMP JUMP”. You are then greeted with a brutal breakdown and some of the most ridiculous lyrics ever written. You can’t help but smile when you listen to it. Another standout track of the album is ‘About That Life’ where the lyrics are so funny and offensive; it would even make Limp Bizkit blush. There are so many great tracks on this album that makes it the perfect party album such as ‘Hellraiser’, ‘Rageaholics’ and ‘Party With The Devil’. Ending with the second single off the album, ‘Shots For The Boys’ simply makes you want to call all of your best friends and throw the most ridiculous party of all time. Overall this is the best soundtrack to your night out since Andrew WK released I Get Wet. Listen to this album and I dare you not to have a smile on your face, it is that good.
