The Queers Album: “Beyond the Valley...”

Yet,another disc release by those fabulous(yeah,right)potty-mouth speaking guys in this long-running all American 'vicious' punk band.I've never seen this band play before and that's a shame because they've played my area numerous times before.Let's face up to the fact,that if there were an award for the most offensive CD of the month,The Queers would most likely win hands down.Some of the tunes here are actually likable,such as "Strangle The Girl","In With The Out Crowd" and "I Wanna Know".But,with tracks like,"I Just Called To Say F*** You" and "Just Say Cu**"(love it!)makes one think these guys are trying just THAT much harder to piss more and more people off.Is that real punk or what?Just might appeal to fans of Minor Threat,Ramones,Nerf Herder and maybe even Screeching Weasel.

My least favorite Queers album. The Queers are probably my favorite pop-punk band and when they are at their best, they are a perfect middle-ground between the Ramones and The Beach Boys. This album has none of the charm, wit or fun of the Queers' other albums and crashes right over into crass, offensive, juvenile punk rock. It's angrier and darker than any album released prior or since, and angry and dark isn't something the queers do very well. As this is the first release following the death of long-time bandmate Hugh O'Neill, this is understandable, but it doesn't make me enjoy this album any more.

"Beyond the Valley..." is the kind of record you would expect from unexceptional bands that think playing really fast and saying F**K a lot makes them punk. Really, very disappointing from the same band that released "

" and "
