They might not have the best band name around, nor the best singer, or the most original song ideas, well, in fact Wild Evil Entertainment Dept. are so unoriginal that it took me quite a few days before I came to the conclusion that this is actually a pretty darn good debut album. For what it is (standard rock'n'roll) the songs are not all steeped in exactly the same mold, they seem influenced by everything from Turbonegro ("Deadbull City") to the Dead Kennedys ("Gotta get some love"), and some verses strongly evoke the arrogance of Caesars Palace (aka The Caesars), which is pretty impressive in my book. Oh, I just realized that Turbonegro are not really that far away musically from Dead Kennedys, but heck, you know what I mean, or if you don't, here you go (dumb ass): This is a fine album packed with melodic and dirty rock'n'roll.
