Free Music Notes for Hefty Fine
Free Music Review: not bad
Hit: 3 Stars
Foxtrot, Uhn tiss, and No hard feelings are top draw ... up there with I hope you die, and Three Point One Four off Hooray. those songs are very catchy. and man, I'm still amazed by all the great, dare i say "intelligent" lyrics the guy comes up with.Free Music Review: People are ridiculous. Plain and simple
Hit: 5 Stars
I cant believe the reviews from both listeners and critics. Amy freakin whinehouse and the Jonas brothers get 5 star raves but this album has 23 ONE star reviews?????? What the hell????? Sure its no hooray for boobies but its LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than most of the garbage on the radio nowadays. I see everyone whining about how there are no "catchy" songs. PLEASE. My personal favorite is The Least You Could Do. Catchy, fast-paced, and fun. Just like the Gang. People need to ease up. Free Music Review: Not Exactly Worth Owning
Hit: 3 Stars
I actually regarded this album as a perfect score a couple of years ago.
Yeah, my musical taste have probably evolved in two years (and watch me lowering some grades in the next two years that follow), so there is no way in heaven
Thankfully, it's still a good listen. Hefty Fine is clearly the worst Bloodhound Gang album. It's shorter than the other albums, Spanky G's drum beats will be surely missed, and the goofy, stupid and simple yet infectious alternative rock isn't present as much as it used to (resulting in the totally idiotic B#!!$ Out and I'm The Least You Can Do). The guitar tone also is missing some texture at times, but it's catchy enough that it's easy to overlook. I already mentioned the length, but it kind of hurts, especially when you take out the moronic silence after the closer. I like the riff on Eminem at the beginning, but Overheard in A Wawa Parking lot is just stupid, and the recorded bathroom break is shocking only to first graders. And of course, my ever cliched "no fundamental flaws, but not worth of a very high score".
But still though, this album is highly worth listening to, maybe not purchasing, in my part (though I can't exactly say, I bought it anyway), but still good. Five years gives room for change, and it really seems that Jimmy Pop's love of Depeche Mode have come to light a bit. Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss is still a great techno song despite how many times I listened to it (Love the video too). I also would say that the hip-hop/funky elements pretty much gone (save maybe Farting With A Walkman On), as well. Thankfully, the alternative rock is good, and the techno, synth pop, whatever elements that are intact are still fun. It's still has great rhythms, one thing that I've liked the BHG, though probably not as good as they were before.
If you like the Bloodhound Gang, still give it a listen, though it's not really worth getting unless you really want it. Instead, just save this as an ablum to listen to for when you are on the internet.
6.5/10
Free Music Review: why so bad rating
Hit: 4 Stars
pennslyvania,foxtrot and uhn tiss are great song,
and others are truly lame bad isnt that enough to rate this a good album?
many albums only have 1 or 2good songs and others are fillers,but still
think of as a good album
Free Music Review: No, it wasn't Fine. It was Hefty Lame.
Hit: 2 Stars
Okay, this album is terrible.
I mean, when you listen to stuff like Use Your Fingers and Hooray For Boobies (One Fierce Beer Coaster also wasn't great, but I certainly liked it better than Hefty Fine) and then play Hefty Fine, it makes you want to throw it at the wall. Gone are the pop culture references and guitar-laden riffs of the good old days. Now, basically the whole album is about having sex (which I wouldn't really mind if the innuendos were more clever) and the music is so electronically mixed that you honestly start to wonder whether they really used any instruments or whether Jimmy Pop Ali honestly sang a note.
The hidden track was disappointing, compared to the hidden tracks on their other albums, and the fact that Ville Valo sang on Something Diabolical just makes it worse.
Basically, I see this album as a last-ditch attempt to acquire some quick cash and I think the guys were getting a bit desperate.
Not to say that I still don't love Bloodhound Gang, I just think they could've done way better.
Track by track analysis? I think so.
Strictly For The Tardcore- 3/5. Funny but not particularly witty.
Balls Out- 0/5. Completely terrible track.
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo- 4/5. Innuendos are great but music could've been better.
I'm The Least You Could Do- 2/5.
Farting With A Walkman On- 2/5.
Diarrhea Runs In The Family- 5/5. Possibly the best track on the whole album.
Ralph Wiggum- 4/5. I like the idea for the song, but the tune is flat and depressing.
Something Diabolical- Negative 5/5. Completely awful song, and Ville Valo doesn't help it any.
Overheard In A WaWa Parking Lot- 4/5 only because it made me laugh.
Pennsylvania- 4/5. Great track.
Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss- 4/5. Also great.
No Hard Feelings- 0/5. The whole song is pretty much one line OVER and OVER.
Hidden Track- 1/5. COME ON, BAM MARGERA?!
All in all, this album was a huge letdown and I think Bloodhound Gang needs to step it up the next time around.
