Free Music Review: The Dead Milkmen: The Original Beastie Boys
Hit: 4 Stars
Before the Beastie Boys were dropping lines and being total snots, The Dead Milkmen were in full swing, releasing Big Lizard in My Backyard. What a band this was.
You can almost call this band a novelty band. But the novelty shtick is avoided, thanks to great chemistry between the musicians, and lyrics, depending on who you are, never get tired of. Some of these lines are classic. "I don't wanna go to the beach, NO FUN!!!". Tiny Town uses satire to make fun of the south. ______ Camaro begins with a jazzy bass line featuring Joe and Rodney yammering away like typical teenagers (you know, where you just talk randomly), then gets to the main part, a song mostly about running over people with it. Taking Retards to the Zoo is the most idiotic and pointless song ever created. Yet you just can't get enough of music like this.
You probably can't imagine much about the music. It's a bit punk, but with surprises (Gorilla Girl, Beach Song). The music is pretty light-hearted, unlike many punk bands, who's sole purpose to sound angry. Joe Jack Talcum and Rodney Anonymous deliver the snottiest pair of voices, even more than The Beastie Boys. You really probably shouldn't get this soley for the music, because you'll probably get bored because they don't play solos. They don't use ambiance. They don't... well, never mind. The lyrics and music go hand in hand. As a whole, the songs on this album rule.
If your a complete stiff, you won't like any of this. If you are into exclusively deep music, you won't like this. But, if you think The Bloodhound Gang and Ween (both from Pennsylvania like TDM) are funny, well, it goes without saying.
