And its helping absolutely no one, not the band, the fans or even the label thinking they can suck in more money if they cut the most vile track from the album so stores like Sam Goody where Gwar fans don't even shop would sell it. First they ruined We Kill Everything now they ruined this, I suspect America Must Be Destroyed will be next. Gwar needs to pack their bags and leave this wimp metal label. What really hurts bad is that I lost this CD awhile back and bought it expecting the full album in all its uncut glory looking forward to center core song on of the album B.D.F. which has been cut along with a really cool hidden techno hidden track thats in their movie SKULHEDFACE along with CESORED ARTWORK as well. Gwar must not stand for this!
Anyways, this another classic Gwar album, their most different album to date. More thrashy sloppy punk sounding than anything else they've ever done, this is one of their most violent albums (ties close with America Must Be Destroyed). The drums sound like meat cleavers smashing into a skull, everything about this album is ugly. The songs carreen out of control near the end and turn into sloppy pukey songs that sound like they were made up in 3 seconds to fill up the album. Its great! Goes from carefully constructed songs to BLAHRRLARJHRHGGHGHGHG.
Good luck finding the uncut version with the extra track. Don't waste your time on this cut up crap. Next time you're at a Gwar show see if Dave Brockie has any in the bus for sale.
This album is definitely up there with me in GWAR's discography because it is the most humorous and also the most diverse. I love this album a lot but it can't compete with War Party, my new favorite. This album is right about when, most people say, that GWAR descended into their crappy era, but I still love this. My version is sans BDF, but it's still excellent. It's higher up there than WKE and just barely above VHA, but War Party is the best album I've heard, other than 12 Inches of Snow. This album though has its high points, The Insidious Soliloquoy of Skulhed Face, Sonderkommando, and Eat Steel, but also it has a couple of not so great moments, Filthy Flow and Obliteration of Flab Quarv 7. I'm not saying they're bad songs, only that they don't strike me quite like the other tracks. This album is great, every GWAR fan should have it in their collection. Buy it now!
Although this album may be overshadowed by such albums by Gwar as Violence has Arrived and Scumdogs of the Universe, it should definatly not be looked over. The lyrics in this album surpass all the other albums in humor and the musicality, although they are no Dream Theater, they definatly know how to play their instruments. At first listen, there are some catchy songs, but nothing that special, then once you listen again and again it really grows on you. This now is my favorite GWAR album. It's not the heaviest, or the longest, but i believe it is the fullest. It shows a variety of music and the lyrics never let you down. Of course, none of their albums are even close to as good as seeing GWAR live, but if your not fortunate enough to be able to do that, this is the next best thing.
This Toilet Earth is a great album but definatly not my favorite from the metal gods known as GWAR. Standout tracks in which are awesome are "Jack the World", "Sonderkommando", "Krak Down", "Saddam a Go-GO", "Eat Steel", "Penis I See", "Fight", "Bad Bad Men" and pretty much all the tracks. The only tracks that prevent this album from receiving 5 stars are "Pepperoni" and "Pocket Pool" which are kind of annoying. By all means pick this album up but don't make it your first album from them.
Many call This Toilet Earth Gwar's "experimental" album, but don't be fooled--it's not too different from the band's other work. Sure, Gwar tries a few different genres here, and the result is a mixed bag...but not because of the variety. Rather, this album never gelled into a complete and seamless Gwar experience for me because the songs are very, *very* hit-and-miss. When they're on, they're great (Saddam A Go-Go, Penis I See, Sonderkommando, Jack the World, Pepperoni, Skullhedface, Krak Down, Slap U Around), but when they're off, it's very disappointing: the only solid songs are the ones above, and due to the album's sequencing, the spotty songs really screw up the pacing and detract in a big way. This Toilet Earth is a decent Gwar album, but it doesn't have the staying power many of the other ones do. Highlights: Saddam A Go Go, Penis I See, Sonderkommando, Krak Down.
