Queers, The Beat Off
Yes, I know, It wouldn't be a good punk review page unless it had at least one album from the Queers, well then here it is. On this album I think that there are basically two types of songs: 1. Quick, snotty punk and 2. surf sounding songs. The instrumental on the punk songs is always fast on poppy, on the surf songs the instrumental is much slower and melodic. The vocals are also slit acording to the type of music the Queers are playing, on the punk songs Joe Queer has an in-your-face snotty tone to his voice; on the surf songs Joe Queers is overly melodic. All in all I love the punk songs, but could really do without the surf songs. Favorite songs: "You Make Me Wanna Puke", "Drop The Attitude Fucker", and "Teenage Gluesniffer". Don't buy this album if you want a bunch of snotty punk songs, buy it if you want a few really good snotty punk songs. I give it a 7.
