By Dirt
Cynics? Reprobates? All that and ironic too. There is nothing like throwing back a few (hundred) beer and seeing the Teasers live, with the exception of playing poker long into the night with Satan is Real Again cranked. This album has some of the wittiest lyrics ever with a good dose of social commentary thrown in the mix. The music is raw and strangely reminiscent of the Clash running headlong into Hank Williams Sr. while Tom Waits reports the brutal events. Don't even bother if you like Clint Black or Mariah Carey, but if a Whiskey voiced hillbilly punk band from Scotland is what you have in mind, then you should have bought this album years ago.
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful.A messy little wonder
By C. Chambers
What do you get when you get a bunch of drunk Scottish guys who rip off riffs from the Fall and Joy Division and throw them into their anti-P.C. country music? You get this masterpiece of drunken hilarity. But besides being funny and offensive, they are actually great songwriters. Saying they are witty is way too much of an understatement. The riffs may not be totally original, but the delivery definitely is. After you've heard it more times and don't focus on the lyrical content and take the songs in as a whole, you will see them for the sloppy wonders that they are.There really is no other band like the Country Teasers, and you gotta love a band that wants to smash down the P.C. walls and make it okay to make fun of everything again. Everything they have recorded is great, but this is their master work. I can't say enough good things about it.If you are P.C., like slick productions, and bands who don't miss a note, the Country Teasers are not for you.

By T. Pierce
In a world where everything is polished with syrup and schlock- it's ironic that this caustic, drunken, rural punk is a breath of fresh air. The songs are so damned catchy and direct- The Country Teasers stand to influence a whole generation of musicians like the Pixies of yore. I cannot get enough of the sauntering disregard.Go Teasers Go!
