God this band is corny.
And that is not just a bad pun, it's also true. If I had to describe this album using theoretical babies, cause that seems to be what the cool kids are doing, it would be Metallica and Faith No More's child, born with autism. And as a bonus, Nirvana had sex with Faith no More while it was pregnant and came on the fetus. I know that wasn't the most politically correct way to put it, but I think that is the best way to describe it.
Almost every song on here DOES have parts that are genuinely interesting and engaging to the listener, whether it be the kickass metal intro to "Ball Tongue", the catchy at-the-time-original chorus of "Clown", the Grunginess of almost all of "Need To". And most importantly, the gregorian chant-sounding intro to "Daddy". But, the sad thing is that the songs end up getting too complicated for their own good. And that's a strange way to put it. But at the time none of the musicians in this band were especially talented, and they try really hard to sound like they're talented. Which means that the songs took too long for them to learn to play and they didn't pay any attention after they recorded it. The songs get bogged down by very poor production, and some might say that adds charm to the music. Sure, I might say, it adds charm in the same way that B-Movies are charming. But this is a major label for christ-sakes. This sounds like a demo!
However, there is a bright side to this record. "Shoots and Ladders" is by far the best song here. It's the cleanest song, it's melodic, it's original. And yes. I said "original" sure it might have childrens songs as the lyrics, but the slap bass sounds in place with the guitars, and don't mention those bagpipes! They sound phenomenal! I have always liked this song, even in high school, when I didn't listen to this band, cause all the asshole stoners loved them. But there are clever melodic ideas in this song, and it's a good way to see where the band would be heading especially around "Untouchables"
Oh yeah, spoiler alert!

Ball Tongue shocked me when I was a kid

Nice soundoff
That first paragraph needs to go

That paragraph kinda contradicts your rating

This album still kicks ass for nostalgia's sake. The lyrics are really bad though. And this is no way complicated.

Awful album, shocking review.

"Awful album, shocking review."
How is it shocking? It reads exactly as it was written, the product of an all-nighter of writing shitty music. And then Blind came up on shuffle, I didn't know any better, so I wrote a couple paragraphs about it and threw it up. LIKE VOMIT

Learn to use the soundoff button and trim the crap out of this. This isn't a review at all.
