Intro

This band is the Australian Ramones, and they're funny as FUCK. I am so sad that I'm writing this intro, because I have finished this album. I am SO SAD that I'm not listening to this album right this very second, hell I might even listen to it a second time back to back. This album is LITERALLY the Australian Ramones, but they're hilarious. Hilarious, drunk Australian Ramones. These songs are short, sweet, punk rock, and amazing. What do I think of them? Start reading.


Thoughts & Feelings?

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO WRITE THIS ONE, AIDEN. I took fucking forever, I'm sorry. I have just had other things going on and other albums to review. Finally I have some free time, so here ya go I'm writing this one for ya. Thank FUCKING GOD you recommended this album to me, because this is the fucking funniest shit I've ever heard in my life. I fucking LOVE this album.

This album makes me feel like I'm still in kindergarten, but I have the ability to make songs and I'm the one playing and making these songs. These songs are BASIC, STUPID, SIMPLE, LITERALLY FUCKING DUMB ASS SONGS. They are PERFECT. They are absolutely PERFECT. You can tell that this album was FUN to make. I have no idea, I'm just a kindergartner with glue, and somehow we stitched this together, idk don't ask me to elaborate further.


Smash or Pass?

Stinker - SMASH. I immediately smiled when this song came on, it's EXACTLY what I thought it was going to be. I CAN'T FUCKING HELP BUT SMILE LISTENING TO THIS SONG. This is PURE PUNK ROCK, and it's amazing. Like OLD SCHOOL PUNK ROCK. This song is so fucking hilarious and absolutely punk. This reminds me of the story of Welcome to Paradise. Honestly yeah this is exactly what I want out of a punk rock song, it's great, high energy, shit lyrics, fast paced action, let's fucking go baby.

Drunk N Disorderly - SMMAAASSSHHHH. This is the only song I actually knew going into this album, and this song kicks ASS. This dude has THE MOST AUSTRALIAN ACCENT I'VE EVER FUCKING HEARD, this song is SO FUCKING FUN, I absolutely love how fucking fast this song is, the bass is so great. This is so fucking funky catchy thank you punk rock for being the best genre ever.

The Clap - SMASH. I CAN'T FUCKING HELP BUT LAUGH AHAHAHA. This song is fucking hilarious. I honestly just want to start crying at work right now because of how fucking funny this song is. It's great. HAHAHA I CAN'T FOCUS ON THE MUSIC CAUSE I'M LAUGHING TOO FUCKING HARD AT THE LYRICS. This shit is the kind of song that just puts you in a good mood instantly.

Identity Theft - SMASH. Fucking I LOVE the bass. This shit is so fucking FUNNY HAHAHAHA. AHAHAHA I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE. I HAVE ACTUAL TEARS AT WORK RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T HELP BUT CRY, IT'S JUST SO FUCKING FUNNY. I can't take any of this seriously, I can't focus on the actual music and I don't fucking want to. All of it just sounds so fucking fun. I am having a blast with this album, one of the only times I've ever cried writing a review.

The Kids Need Guns - SMASH. LET'S GO POLITICS BABY. These SONGS ARE SO FUCKING SHORT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PROCESS OR THINK, I LEGIT NEEDED TO PAUSE THE NEXT SONG CAUSE I'M NOT FUCKING FINISHED YET. There's a lotta yelling in this review, that's fine. I love this song but I can't remember anything about it because it went by so fucking quick. Still love it though and would listen again.

Dine N Dash - SMAASSHH. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS HERE, IT'S JUST FUCKING HILARIOUS. This song sounds great, it's so fucking fun and I love everything about it. These songs give me SO MUCH INSPIRATION to make music like this. Yeah this is easily one of my favourite songs so far.

Keep the Grubs Out - SMASH. BASS BABY LET'S GO. I love how much bass is in here. HAHAHAHA. IS EVERY FUCKING SONG JUST A GREAT PUNK SONG THAT'S HILARIOUS AS FUCK? YES. I LOVE how this one uses almost no singing, it's just a dude talking LMAO.

Pub Feed - SMAAAASSSHHHH. THIS SONG SOUNDS SICK. I absolutely love the riff. This is probably the least funny song I've heard so far, but it's fucking GREAT regardless. It's so ridiculous and stupid, just absolutely great. I am so sad I didn't listen to this album earlier, because this is one of my new favourite albums. I can't help but just laugh and smile at every song. Pure PUNK ROCK.

Ross River - SMMAAAASSSHHH. Holy FUCK THE GUITAR ON THIS ONE IS AMAZING. Apparently ross river is a type of virus / fever, so I have absolutely NO FUCKING IDEA what this song is saying but whatever it sounds GREAT. The solo is particularily fucking amazing hell yeah.

Heatstroke - SMAMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHH. More fucking bass baby let's go. Honestly I miss the fucking funny ass songs so I hope this one makes me laugh.

AHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK???? LITERALLY IN TEARS BECAUSE THIS IS LITERALLY THE SINGLE STUPIDEST SONG I'VE EVER HEARD. IT'S PERFECT.

Billy Backwash's Day - SMASH. All of these songs have AMAZING bass. If you are a bass lover, this is a great album for you because every single one of these songs is so loud on the bass it's great to hear. I have no idea what the fuck this song is about because I was not paying attention.

4573 - SMAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHH. Is this song about a strip club or something? I have NO idea but there must be an inside joke or something. I don't know what the fuck to say anymore. This shit is fucking great. I absolutely love this kinda shit. I don't know what the fuck to say anymore, I love these songs. This is just another banger.

Do What I Want - SMAAAAAASSSSSSSH. I wrote that before the song even came on cause I loved every song so far, so I know I will love this one. Welcome to THE LONGEST song of the album, coming in at a WHOPPING 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Unbelievable how short all these fucking songs are. Oh dear I'm about to start laughing again. OH MAANNNNNNNN THIS IS SO FUCKING CATCHY, THIS SONG FEELS LIKE IT'S FROM THE 80s. HAHAHAHAHAAH. This fucking shit is HILARIOUS. This also sounds great.

Better Than You - SMASH. I'm so fucking sad this album is over. Sorry Eamon but you are not a great singer, but you don't need to be. This song is the perfect example of how you don't need a great voice to make great songs or a great album. He's just a LITTLE off tune but it's GREAT. Another banger of a punk rock song. HAHAHAHAHA. "BEST SOLO EVER!" after finishing the solo. Fucking HILARIOUS. MWAH.

Conclusion

NORMALLY I rank the medals based on how much I liked the song, but I'm going to rank them based on how much they made me laugh.

Listen to this album on a bad day. Keep this album stored somewhere for when you are having a bad day. I fucking smiled my happy ass off this entire damn album. It's SUCH a shame I waited so long to review this one, because this was an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE. These songs are fun, they're catchy as fuck, they make you smile and laugh, it's pure punk rock in the best way. Keep this album safe and give it a listen when you need to laugh. Absolutely MWAH.

RANK: A+

What do you guys think? Sorry Aiden it took forever to review this one. I'll try to speed things up next time because this album was fucking amazing and fucking hilarious.
