When I think of the Gwar sound, I think Scumdogs. This is Gwar at its best. More direct and to the point than America Must Be Destroyed, and more "metal" than some of their later efforts (not to slight those discs at all, see my reviews of them), Scumdogs of the Universe is the perennial Gwar record. Crushing, blaring guitars and ridiculously black and campy lyrics induct one into the Gwar universe, paving the way for what is to come. Oderus puts a lot of heart into the vocals on this one. Notable tracks: Salaminizer, Sick of You, Sexecutioner's Song, Love Surgery. ..., they're all good.

If you wanna now what Gwar sounds like, get this. What you must know Gwar is not a metal band there more punk. I've been listenin to Gwar since I was 10. If your a metal or a punk fan who's not easily offened buy this album. They're so cool they been banned in my hometown(Richmond, Va(oddly enough it's their hometown too)). Buy this, and if you like this get they others. A warning though, the songs get more offensive with the album. The worst(meaning the coolest) was "Have You Seen Me"and "Babyraper".

...Never should have been let out the *&^%$#@ microwave"! I wasnt going to review this until I read the 1 star review from marxist. Scumdogs of the universe is an hilarious album. When I first heard this I laughed until my stomache hurt. After I got over the laughing spells I began to apreciate the songs . Bottom line is that this album rocks hard and what do you do with someone with marxist in their name? CRUSH HIM LIKE BUG!!!!!!!!!!

this is by far one of the most out there cds i own. this cd just about covers every big genre of music. slaughterama which is a good song strangely reminds me of beastie boys but it is funny as hell.

but songs such as sick of you have a much more metal feel.I would recommend this cd for sure,it is funny and entertaining

Gwar is one of those bands you either love or you hate, never far away from current events, or weird media self promotion campaigns, Gwar has to be one of the most driven bands on the music scene. They toil nonstop making elaborate sets, costumes and stage plays of the sickest most twisted stuff imaginable, and it's great! If you like subtle and not-so-subtle humor in your music, check this album out, it's worth every song on it. From the humble Death Piggy roots, you can see the band is constantly evolving to make fun of modern musical trends. Just check out gwar.net, and oderus.com
