this stuff is pretty effed up indeed,but from a historical point of view you can't deny that allin did something nobody else dared to do with music:make it his kind of sickness.he proved that to be the "most punk", talent and lyrical content were secondary to persona.from what i have always understood punk was always about doing something different and new,as well as something most people wouldn't understand.gg injected punk rock with a renewed brashness and perversity that had steeped from that scene when he came on board.with that said,i only have this album and hated in the nation,have only listened to each 5 times or less,but can still see a significance to his art.some art may not be ethically sound and morally decent,but blind ignorance ALWAYS clouds the possibility to understand art and it's infinate potential.

GG is the king. His live shows, his albums, his movies. Everything about him was crazy. i don't care about people who think he was a creep or a pervert. He was just compfortable expressing and exposing himself. This is one of his best works. This is true music. It is a little sick and twisted but who cares? The best works, "Commit suicide", "die when you die", "outlaw scumfuc", and about every other song is amazing. This is true pure, raw work from GG Allin. I bought this album on it's release date in 1988 and felt like killing someone. Oh man this is amazing. The thing that I love about GG was that he wasn't a pansy. He wasn't afraid of anyone and wasn't afraid to do anything. He makes me wanna spit right in all the new pansy band's faces.

The music is disgusting and raw. The vocals are savage and one can tell GG ripped his throat up singing these songs. Everyone knows GG Allin was an ignorant nutcase who gleefully mutilated his body through drugs and violence. That's no reason to boycott the music. If anything, GG was real. The music, likewise, is real. No other artist can capture the brutal desperation which pervades this CD. It is the ultimate look into the mind of the criminally insane: From the grasping song, 'Dope Money' to the grotesque 'Young Little Meat.' By listening, you LIVE the seedy, crass filth of GG Allin. You watch bloody horror movies don't you? Well, I listen to bloody horror music. Get over it.

Most definitely the passion of the christ; the jesus christ allin that is. The first time I heard it, my friend grant and i just sat there in stunned amazement. We used to drive around with the album cover in the window of our scumvan and take pictures of girls holding it in front of their bosoms. GG meant a hell of a lot to me during some strange years in my life, and his detractors just don't understand. We had an entire cult in Lynn Valley dedicated to the praise and worship of this amazing human being. Love was his ultimate message.
June 14, 2006Not a horrible album, but not the best of the best either. Notible highlights are BE MY F*CKING WHORE, DIE WHEN YOU DIE, and OUTLAW SCUMFUC. Sure, the production is a bit raw at times, but it's pretty much what GG was all about. I like the CD, but i do much prefer CARNIVAL OF EXCESS, GG's stabb at Country Music. It's still got his tough lyrics, but with a country twang background.
