Before the actual review begins, I have to confess that this has to be one of the most enjoyable CD's I have heard in a while with simplistic yet energetic music about Girls and Partying. It is a great disc for anyone who wants to have a good time while listening to their music.

Andrew Wilkes-Krier(sp?) went to high school here in Ann Arbor, but he is definitely not like that punk legend of note from here (Ypsilanti, actually), one Iggy Pop. OMG!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH Dear GOD!!! STOP!! Save the world. Dont write songs. This is the worst piece of crap i've ever heard. A terrible mix of ABBA and er...metal. Stop. Please stop awsome CD, one of the best to get you moving or pump up you energy level... this guy and his band are awesome. all they do is rock, and then rock some more. its not heavy, its not mellow, but its fast and catchy, and relentless. it's great party music. check it out. This is a beautiful album. It is audio orgasms I wasnt a huge AWK fan until I saw them live. I bought the album purely on the fact that they are on of the most energetic bands I have ever seen. Anyone who does something so obviously ridiculous and still keeps a straight face is a hero in my book. If he didn't swear on the 7th song, this would be a perfect album. Give him credit; he's flying in the face of everything, pop fans and punk fans alike. First off, why is this album reviewed on a punk site ? This isn't a punk album, not trying to say that everything that's not punk is crap, but ya know, trying to keep with the whole PUNKnews.org thing... I personally don't like the music but I heard he was a nice guy. this guy makes me happy. he's music is fun and exciting. sure all he's songs sound the same but they are all the same good song. he says party about 144 times and i like beer that should be "chokes on his on vomit", not pukes on his on vomit i think a friend of mine best expressed our mutual feelings on awk when he stated "i hope awk pukes on his on vomit induced by partying hard" "Pop-punk lyrics" my ass buddy. She is beautiful is the worst that I've heard sine a very long time. Pathetic... 80's pop with distortion and pop-punk lyrics. Shitty!!! That guy's on some serious fucking drugs. andrew w. k. is a dirty boogin and he hasn't showered in a long time. change your clothes andrew...... anyone knockin poison should get shot in the face. those guys rock. i just saw them and they still kick ass. they are the band that got me into rock waaaay back in 88 when i was...8.AWK rocks but aint got nothin on poison. Are you knockin' Poison? Cause if you are.... This album is without a doubt the single biggest piece of garbage I have ever heard. I dont know what the hell is wrong with all of these people claiming its great and hes a genius! All that he is doing is taking the retro 80's glamrock sound with the retro 80s butt rock look. Do me a favor go download some poision and then listen to AWK again and you'll know what Im talking about. Geeze. I was gone for a week. So what's new? what the fuck is this guy talking about with the smart vs dumb guys and big cocks? Did anyone see the re-run of his SNL preformance last night?? i haven't read all the posts but i hope no one beat me to this analogy. andrew wk is like the music equivalent of a drunken one night stand with a girl who is sorta hot but really annoying. its fun and its better than nothin but you aren't going to start any kind of relationship or buy the cd. so whats the big hubub about? its a cheap fuck but hey sometimes thats all a guy needs. so rock on awk have fun and nobody'll hold it against you. Since when did punks become hippies? Well whenever they did, they can go to fucking hell. Where did the talk of cock come from? I think I'll go elsewhere... this is turning into one of those high school big jock football players verse the smart guy who he copies off in class so while he is a complete moron, it doesnt show on his report card. so the guy has nothing to say at all....so what? some good music doesnt. but come on...the guy is tryin to make himself look all crazy and insane and demented and crap...while singing songs about partying. its like Kiss but dumber....i think the dude partied himself stupid. I will tell everyone what... if any of you actually had a brain then you would realize that sometimes music is just music not some sort of IQ test. Music was invented for people to listen to for entertainment. When swing, jazz and big band music was popular back in the early 90's no one sat around thinking about "wow that note he played right there was just so perfectly placed this is brilliant music" or "boy this guy doesnt seem to have a brain at all I am not going to enjoy this because he doesnt stimulate my mind". Who fucking cares! It looks like AWK is having a shit load of fun if you ask me. Thats all I look for in my music. Fun! Yea sometimes I would like to listen to something that is calm and doesnt want to make me go down a few beers and "party hard". When I am in a mood for something thought provoking or calm I will listen to something calm. I would love to not have to name names but only one comes to mind... WYZO. I, for one, dont care to read his long winded wannabe intellectual bashes of AWK and every kind of music that doesnt get your brain going at the speed of light. I dont think anyone else really cares to read them either. In conclusion anyone who calls AWK a genius is far from thinking straight but anyone who passes this off as energetic party provoking music that would be a fucking awesome time to listen to when "its time to party" you are absolutely fucking right.PARTY HARD!!~pat41 I wonder why when anyone puts up a review of any sort of album everyone then becomes the most experiacned music critic of all time. It really bothers me that so many people can get into big fights over what they blast on their steros. It kinda like the "rednecks" who drive around town in their jacked up ford f150s screaming at me and telling me that im a "punk rocking faggot". this phrase confuses me because i was under the impression that punk rocking wasn't a verb. but do they hate me because im an asshole or i fucked their mom no, its because i wore a rancid shirt and i drove through town playing my sick of it all cd too loud. I never got it. I mean i dont really like country but i dont hate anyone for listening to it. i also hold a large distaste for rap but i dont let it choose who my friends are. do i care that some of my buddies listen to stuff like blink 182 or a new found glory even though i would rather stick my hand into a blender then listen to it myself doesnt make them any less of a friend. I think we should jsut all get along weather we like andrew wk or not and get over it. I myself find that his music is cheesy but enjoyable. Do i hate wyzo for disliking it? Nope, actually i think he is a funny person with some good retorts. So there ya go , love em or hate em, lets not let it put us at each others throats. ( i wonder if im gonna get called a hippy for my "peace" post ehh who knows) Hey Scott, You guys are fucking dumb. Who cares if it's not punk, who cares if he never changes his clothes. I wish I was a girl so I could have Andrew WK's baby. Yep... All I'm going to say is that Andrew W.K. used to drum for a grindcore band. someone mention expedia? if you listen closely to the song its not even him (and if it is its a really bad version of the song) and did someone say he never changes his clothes? apperently some people forgot about the punk attitude which is not caring about shallow things like how you look. besides, how do you know he doesn't have a closet full of white tshirts and black pants? This guys can't write choruses This album was pointless because almost every song is about a party? This guy sounds like what happended if Bret Michaels stopped wearing make up and became homeless. i think the album was pointless cuz every song had something to do with partying just about. but the songs were good so i will give it a 4. he's still bleeding and he's dirty, he better be careful before he gets an infection. ahahahhah wyzo's rating of the album has gone up a star since his first post!! my ignorance has permeated his brain and has moved him closer to maximum steakhead potential and further from dorkusmalorkusdom.ppoop pants sickboi gave me props. thanks, i know that shit was clever and wyzo's was ignorant but what can u do, he's not to smart cuz hes to busy eating poo poo.buddyhead is cooler than you to wyzo. blah blah blah. just admit u secretyly think the wk rawks the heezy for sheezy.i'm out of funny stuff.strung out still rocks too, and your review still juggles my alpha male grapefruit sized nuts. and my shlong. it big and i wear baggy pennywise shorts to hide my hugeness. ahahhaha. me funny.eat a nad.beer bong 4th of july. lets kill more middleeasteners. hows that for wit!!! pot,beer shit ,my face is bleeding from headbanging on my desk at work cuz i prty harder than n e one again. that would have been toasty if it weren't for the fact I liked it better the first time buddyhead did it. Brah. Andrew WK can eat my ass. what the fuck is a review of this album doing on this site anyway. This shit blows. Really stupid, yet I'm laughing out loud. If clever wit can be really entertaining and respected, why can't ignorant ranting? ahhhh wyzo. dorkus malorkus supreme. its cool bro. u want to touch my testocerone (mispelling is cool) cock and smack u w/ it. hows that for wit.u aere little man blah blah whatever. i like arguing w/ u cuz i could care less. i just like to see your big words and your supersmartness. 321 is rocket science poop shoot. to me it is. i don't know no smart stuff. only smart kids like you do. i'm aryan too i suppose according to you.cool bro.'nubile' is big word. your friends dont' like your long writing. no wonder. they're probably also bummed you dont' get laid bro. and still won't til u drop the audatious attitude. youre pretentious adn condecending. big word man. me too.your a piece of poo poo sucked through a straw out me bum bum. aryan bum bum to you huh? The world needed a cd like this to pop back into the stores cuz andrew w.k. brings rock back to its essence: partying and fuckin. Now that's rock and roll. i think you're all missing the point, sure he parties hard. that's great and all, but he could at least change his shirt, or wipe that red crap off his face. i mean seriously i may dress bummy but i make sure i'm mountain fresh clean. i'm embarressed for him and his mother, !!!I EAT CHEESE!!! LOL. 'i called you pompous because of that long textual masturbation of a post about him' "social commentary and use your 'big' words like virility" "Quick tip for anyone who gave this album 3 stars or more, pull your head out of your ass, put down the braiwashing Andrew W.K. album, and find some real music to listen to." Usually I enjoy what Wyzo has to say, but attacking the Beastie Boys? You've gone waaaay to far. I haven't heard this album, so disregard the rating. But, in response to those who are creaming in their pants because someone 'finally brought fun, party music back', why don't you put in some D4? I can't believe what i have just read. I am bothered that there is even a review of this awful shit on this website. Andrew W.K. should be drug out into the streets and shot for somehow brainwashing people and convincing them that the retard, wrestler, rock that he calls music is good. This guy is not some fucking music messiah. People are trying to make him sound like he is a genius because he wrote all of the music on his album. Well i could record myself taking a shit over and over again too. Where is my record contract? Even if there was 1 track on here that was even close to being relatively tolerable, it would be dilluted out by the fact that every song on this cd sounds the fucking same. Quick tip for anyone who gave this album 3 stars or more, pull your head out of your ass, put down the braiwashing Andrew W.K. album, and find some real music to listen to. "I like it how all comments about me are based on male standards of supremacy. I bet you guys fuck your whore girlfriends and they wake up angels 10 times a day cause men are measured by virility, patriarchy rules!" Wyzo, i'd really enjoy beating the piss out of you for saying such dorkus college boy shit like this. go back to art school pansy boy, your defenses are more stale than my insults cuz i'm just being funny. like how your like snarf. u come back w/ social commentary and use your 'big' words like virility.and you still aint gettin laid bro, no matter how hard u hit the books. or maybe u dig manlove and havent found him yet. i hope u give me a homophobia social commentary now. its ok to be confused wyzo, you'll find your sexual identity soon, your in college now, getting enlightened, and i knwo freshman year wasnt kind to you, but its cool.you'll find art fart-ette soon. keep rockin to the limp biz beyyyaaach. bBEER RULES SO DOES THE WK WOOOOOOO! yea,wyzo quit typing so much. and your still a dorkus malorkus know it all like that lagwagon song. sorry about the not getting laid commment i can tell it got your panties in a bunch. i don't get the mop up my ass thing. what i do get is that when ists time to bparty i party hard! danananana da danana dana dananana dan dannanana! fuck yea! this album gets an 11 like the sound levels on spinal taps amps!! Do I like him? Nope. Do I like the shtik? Nope. Do I appreciate his energy and thrashy live performance? You bet. I like it when a band challeneges you in the live arena: feeling a little turned and uneasy at a show is positive; being disturbed--as opposed to subdued--wakes you up. Now all the aformentioned crap...that doesn't necessarily relate to AWK; when typing it out I had the Jesus Lizard in mind. Yeah: fuck this; buy a Jesus Lizard record and beat you head against the fucking wall. AWK will never be a David Yow. jee fellas cant we stop worrying about whos punker, whos not punker, whos making fun of punker people and everything else and just love eachother? Hell you can be the kid with old dirty shoes making fun of someone with a dirty shirt trying to be hardcore. Stop making fun of people trying to be hardcore as you are doing the same thing just by acting high and mighty. jee wilikers get some tissues My only concerns are as follows: i didn't call you pompous because you don't like AWK, i called you pompous because of that long textual masturbation of a post about him. he does fit that image though, i'll give you that. reminds of the old guy your friend met while working construction. he's weird as hell but you hang out with him because he scores booze for you and your cronies. ah, memories... goddamn. how come people can't like a cd unless it involves thinking? i admit, i like intelligent music but have some variety guys. cheer up...have fun...listen to the W.K. he rocks hard. Wyzo, if I walk around shitting on myself on purpose, it doesnt make it smart anymore than a band playing bad music on purpose makes it smart. i don't really have a problem with AWK. the music is so stupid it's smart, as somebody mentioned before. a little band called the Ramones played the same card back in the day. stupidity as an art form. anyway, i'd rather listen to a band play dumb music on purpose than a stupid band (pretty much every nu-metal band) trying to play smart music. Andrew W.K. is a good pianist as well i'm the rawkin dood who jsut posted. i leave mispells for extra punk rawk ness. when its ntime to party i party fukcin hard!!!!!!if u mix redbull and vodka it tastes good. cock rock rules. kill emo kids!!! ANdrw WK fuckin rAWKS , punk rawks, beer rocks, i rawk! this cd makes me want to punch myself in the face rip around a feild in my car, do a beer bong, drink a fifth of booze, beat someone up, go to hooters, smoke cigaretts, blow lines, fight afganistanians, get on chicks, and beat up every smart art fart college enlightened fucks. PAETRYTY!!!! 'small cock rock'...u should like these guys Wyzo Ok you guys are right, AWK is not "PUNKRAWK".. b4 soybomb gets more attention Yes soy bomb.. ha nice thread hahahah... oh yea Wyzo. quit being holier than thou. hahaha. i'm older than you. and cooler. i also get laid. i can read the fact that you don't right through your post.dont' worry. everything will work out for u in the end. Wyzo. your a dork. and no one cares. fuck you and your stupid pseudo intellectual comments.save it for the coffee house. hippy. oh this album isnt punk? boo hoo i guess it can't be good then right? fuck punk. punks are the new nazi's, their more elitest than cheerleaders. and most kids that think theyre punk are no more punk than me.people either love or hate this album, no middle ground. i love it. i love 80's hair rock, and this cd is basically that but faster. its fun, catchy, good times music. when i put it on at my parties someone usually busts out the beer bong and we all get sloppy by track 4. if u don't like partying or are an emo wuss that thinks this is dumb jock cock rock then u won't like it. 'its not intelligent enough'. whatever. not everyone has to be greg graffin. this shit rules. so does poison and the crue. no one makes fun music anymore, everyone feels like they have to make a statement. this shit is just fun. theyher not good live though.oh well. Scott didn't "move" any reviews. He posted 15 new reviews instead of the normal 5 because he wasn't going to be able to keep the normal updates time this week... Thats why the ones on the list pushed down more than usual. this review is about as long as the original sinners one but noone seems to be complaining about this one. haha, and i like how scott moved it to the very end when it was only up a week. oh, and i almost forgot, sell your computer and give the money to a homeless guy. nice name drop on slayer. it really makes this review of an andrew wk music video a whole lot better. (Since SOYBOMB felt like I strained myself typing this rant on AWK, I might as well post it on the actual AWK review.) He is the man.. Gotta give the guy credit, he's pretty athletic. I can't do those jumpkick things he does. anyone see him on SNL when he flipped out and he started twitching his face. this guy's nuts. LOL!!! the last thing andrew w.k. claims to be is "angry and crazy". it's more like just "crazy". i have this album and i quite like it. yes, the music is pretty ridiculous, and yes, i think it's hilarious that one CD could have the track names "party hard", "party till you puke", and "it's time to party" on it, but in the end, it's really fun, music. the last thing you people should be complaining about is the fact that the music is simple, and the band members don't know how to play their instruments very well. someone else said "this is PUNKnews.org, right?" or something like that. well YES this is punknews.org, and guess what. punk rock was founded on musicians that played simple melodies to create an awesome sound. that's what this is. it's the pop party metal of rob zombie mixed with rancid, and i love it. now excuse me, it's time to party. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that this SOYBOMB guy is sucking Andy W.K.'s dick...it's veritable, he's a groupie. I know it. I'm not surprised to see someone spending their short five minutes of fame making millions ripping off Glenn Danzig's image. A genius? No thanks. This is just another soundtrack for the steriod generation. I could just smell the 14 year old's screaming the lyrics to "Party Hard" and puke after their first beer. Go use your money on something worth buying...like a russian mail order bride. Andrew WK IS LAME>>>> ' Look at me, I party hard, and I have a bloody nose...I party hard! To be honest I've only seen one vidio clip from Andrew W.K and thats about it. Please tell me you were being sarcastic when you said "It's punk RAWK, not punk ROCK"...Please... Normally I don't care what people listen to, but this is fucking hair metal. I can't believe anyone would honestly listen to this. Why? Go bitch somewhere else. So wait, this is a Punk Rock review site right? Oh Please! This is so not good. Overhyped like that "Who Let The Dog Out" group. See, even I don't remember their name. Andrew W.K. is a passing fad. If you like him, fine, but honestly, they can't play their instruments very well at all. In fact, I laughed when I saw their video, and laughed much harder when I saw them perform on SNL. They just play simple music and make funny faces. I have nothing against them, but don't say they're more talented than most bands. Because Andrew pounds one key over and over on a lot of his piano parts, and the guitar is extremely simple/powerchord based in all songs I've heard. i'd rather that people listen to this than limp bisquit. The mans a genius. No question about it. I would puke listening to this cd long before I puked partying. I don't see how he's entertaining. It's all marketing. He's the Madonna for 14 year old males. I had hoped that people here could see through that. Were you talking about punk or Andrew W.K? Wow. I didn't think anyone who frequents this site would like this garbage. This is music for people who don't play music and don't enjoy thinking. I can't wait to see AWK live.. I as well first dismissed AWK has mainstream garbage. But after giving "Party Hard" an extra listen to two, I became hooked to the man/band. i should hate this guy, but something draws me to him. his album is worth picking up. party till you puke. i've yet to see AWK, but i know a lot of people who have and he's the nicest guy in the world. he stays around and signs autographs for everyone that came to see the show and takes pictures with everyone. if you want your children to drown in a swimming pool, take them to a member of motley crue's house. This guy is so fucking over rated... you want cock rock..buy a Crue album... =) |
