I can stomach some of his Jabbers songs. Dude was certified though and a real douche-bucket.

GG made some good music. I prefer Carnival of Excess with The Criminal Quartet to any of his punk records, though.

There's a lot of GG's stuff I like and don't like. And I liked Carnival of Excess a lot. Seemed like he put more into it than he normally would.

Easily his best, and I like a few of his punk albums, but it had excellent musicianship (if you're open-minded enough to appreciate country), and his lyricism is significantly more mature, even if as graphic as ever, than on previous releases.

It is up there for sure. I am still a bigger fan of "Always Was, Is and Always Shall Be". His first album, before the whole shock rock, shit eating and rape, violence and degenerate shit. It was him, being mild mannered in comparison. It has a sound that recalls New York Dolls, Dead Boys, Buzzcocks and that style of punk. No songs like he would be known for later. It is night and day.

"Bored to Death" is basically his "Sonic Reducer", "Beat, Beat, Beat" could also pass as a Dead Boys song.

The album is not what people would think of from GG Allin. It is still nothing technical or mind blowing in terms of musicianship. But for what it is, it is a short, kinda fun, sloppy Punk record that has more replay value than his shocking stuff that is loved by crusty cretins and junkie degenerates.
