Moistboyz II
[Grand Royal]
Rating: 8.8

Fuck Yeah!

Been looking for rock with an attitude problem? I'm not talking about rock in that alternative vein, I mean pure, unadulterated, fuck your sister with a garden hose and punch your balls off with a flowerpot rock. You want some of that served up by one of those assholes in Ween? You sure? Dig your heels in deep and get ready to suck the cock that is Moistboyz II, the Boyz' second album. (Duh.)

The album kicks off with the slow, creepy "It Ain't Rude," a little number about a special time in every young boy's life: The first cock he sucks and the issues he has with it. ("I almost feel inbued / being blown by a dude.") After "Rude" fades out, the amps get turned to 11 and "Second Hand Smoker" cold rocks your ass in a mean way. Thudding drums, distorted guitar, fake arena metal with a big funky smell. Could you ask for more? Well, there's the obligatory country tune (and what can you expect from half of Ween after 12 Golden Country Greats) and an ode to crank. This album serves all your needs and more. Too bad it's over within a half hour. I'm looking forward to Moistboyz III.

Fuck Yeah!
