Bloodhound Gang - Hefty Fine - Review

The Bloodhound Gang - Hefty Fine

In a world gone duh, The Bloodhound Gang still picture themselves as the smart-arsed kings of sexual smut. Porno innuendo, multiple euphamisms for the word (cough) vagina, with lyrics that even Bowling For Soup wouldn’t dare to recycle. Their last album Hooray For Boobies was fours years ago. Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, the first single from Hefty Fine showed that they hadn’t wasted time; no, they learned to spell the word ‘fuck.’ However, while Turbonegro will receive the keys to the Rock kingdom for If You See Kaye, the Bloodhounds will be busy touring the world, singing Fuck to a handful of people while being forced to snarf from a rusty sick bucket backstage filled with a lifetimes supply of yellow snow. Each. Only then, night after night, will they realise that Fuck gets less funnier the more times your hear it. But for us, it’s far worse. It’s actually the best track on the album.

Filled to the guts with factory beats so flacid and synth noises so lame that they’d make Moby blush, we can only wonder what the rest of the Bloodhounds were doing, including DJ Q-Ball, the most expendable band member ever, as Jimmy Pop looked for inspiration down in the depths of his toilet bowl – while still stitting on it. That’s track 6. ‘Diarrhea runs in the family’. Comedy gold for Jimmy, but brown stinky filler for the buying public. Hefty Fine is an unpolished Tango Uniform Roger Delta. See Jimmy, we can can spell too.
