The Album Club: "Blood Guts Pussy" by The Dwarves
Spoiler for Safety first, Mein OberstaffelGoogleFuhrer!:
One of you mods can let me know if this album cover is acceptable or if it will bring the Google Gestapo down upon us. For now, I'm spoilering it. Yeah, it's the return of Occulthawk, who else? Rate, review, comment, debate and vote here.

Loud, fast, in your face, over the top and off the cliff! Drenched in unrestrained energy and attitude with lyrics guaranteed to explode the head of any politically correct leaning individuals within earshot. Topped off with an album cover featuring a naked dwarf, covered in blood, sodomizing a rabbit alongside two naked women also covered in blood. A punk rock classic!
9/10 |

Not much to add here. Pretty solid punk with better-than-average production for the genre. One of those albums where there's no point in overthinking it.
7 out of 10

It's hard to really fault the songs for being so similar when the album is so short. I liked the heavy guitar tone and the catchy, energetic riffs. Does an album as intense as this really need to be any longer? I guess not. You can just put it on repeat until you've had enough, although I personally feel it makes a bit more sense for something like super extreme grindcore to keep it short and focused.
Not really sure what else to say. The album sounds pretty good and I like the general style of this band. It's pretty high end punk, as far as my outsider perspective goes (not a punk fan). Voted "liked it". |

1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in?
Ha ha this is fun! Numbskull punk rock at its best? 2. What did you think of the opening track? Hilarious. “Don't crash into my car!” complete with sounds of, well, a car crashing. 3. What did you think of the next track? Even faster, and just as much fun. 4. Did you like the vocalist? Hate him/her? Any impressions? (see note 1) Songs are too short for me to make any determination about him, but he seems to be able to sing anyway. 5. Did the music (only) generally appeal to you, or not? (see note 2) Yeah it did. Again, I'm beginning to think that maybe I've got punk all wrong? 6. Did the album get better or worse as you listened to it (first time)? Much better 7. What did you think of the lyrical content? Not really my thing. A bit raw, plus it's hard to make out the lyrics, but not bad. 8. Did you like the instrumental parts? (see note 3) n/a 9. What did you think of the production? Pass as ever 10. Did you know of this artiste prior to listening to the album, and if so, did that foreknowledge colour your perception of this album? No. I think I noticed an album called The Dwarves Must Die as I paged down on Spotify to find this, and it jogged some memory, but otherwise no. 11. Is this, generally, the kind of music you listen to or not? No, but that could change. 12. Assuming you listened to the album more than once, on repeated listens, did you find you liked the album more, or less? n/a 13. What would you class as your favourite track(s), if you have any? Pretty much all of them really 14. And the one(s) you liked least? Pretty much none of them really, though the insect buzzing in "Insect Whore" creeped me the **** out. 15. If the album in question is a debut, did that fact allow it, in your mind, any leeway, and if so, was that decision justified or vindicated? (see note 4) n/a 16. Are you now looking forward to hearing more from this artiste, if you have not heard any of their other material? Might do 17. Were you surprised by your reaction - positive or negative - to the album? Very much so. I expected to hate it. And I didn't. 18. Did the album end well? Oh, any album that ends with a track called "Motherfucker" can't be bad, can it? Hey, am I mad, or does the end section here sound like "Surfing Bird"? The bird-bird-bird, bird is the word, ah said the bird-bird-bird ... sorry. 19. Do you see any way the album could have been improved? No 20. Do you think the album hung together well, ie was a fully cohesive unit, or was it a bit hit-and-miss? Not the faintest clue. This gets a surprising 8/10 from me.
