(Rock) Bloodhound Gang - One Feirce Beer Coaster

[JAStewart]

No one ever made a greater comeback than the Bloodhound Gang with One Fierce Beer Coaster, a year after bombing every way imaginable with Use Your Fingers. It features an even balance of rock 'n' roll with hip-hop, especially noticeable in "Boom," which features Rob Van Winkle a.k.a. Vanilla Ice.

The songwriting has taken a dramatic turn for the better; even though the lead vocalist Jimmy Pop, who has gone solo thanks to the departure of Daddy Long Legs, retains his witty, devil-may-care attitude, he doesn't try quite as hard to cram two hundred lines into each verse, as was the case in Use Your Fingers. But he's still a darn good rapper for a white guy: check out verse 2 on "Goin' Nowhere Slow."

Surprising is the cover of Run D.M.C.'s hit song, "It's Tricky," which works surprisingly well with the band's new heavy metal edge. Other metallic moments include the opening guitar hook on "Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny" and the upbeat riffs of "Goin' Nowhere Slow." The last track, "Reflections of Remoh," which is thankfully the only "non-song" on the album, features Jimmy Pop doing a fairly good impression of Homer Simpson.

This is Bloodhound Gang's best album. Check it out.

Songs:

I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks

I think Fire Water Burn is the best song- its so simple but the lyrics are hilarious
