Humungousfungusamongus

New Jersey's fastest and funniest hardcore punk band upped the production values for its second album, Humungousfungusamongus. The guitar work is more precise and melodic, and the vocals can be more easily heard and discerned. It's a plus when dealing with tunes as irreverent as "Velvet Elvis," "Pope on a Rope," and the manic and melodic "Bugs." The band spoofs itself with the follow-up instrumental "A.O.D. Vs. Son of Godzilla." (As opposed to "A.O.D. Vs. Godzilla" from its debut.) "Pizza-N-Beer" further goofs on the bongos–and–acoustic guitars coffeehouse set. "Yuppie" and "Office Buildings" take snapshots of their home state from the car park. "Surfin' Jew" pays homage to their drummer, and "The Nice Song" was a single. The bonus tracks are especially cool. "Spiderman Theme," "Jeffersons Theme" ("We're moving on up!"), and covers of Kiss ("Deuce"), The Dead Boys ("Sonic Reducer"), The Sex Pistols ("Anarchy in the U.K."), and The Bay City Rollers ("Saturday Night") round out their era.
