Listen to Norway, Atrap.com/tag/listen-to-norway">part 3. I deeply regret not going to see Turbonegro back when they were touring the US in support of "Ass cobra", playing warehouse shows and dingy punk dives. Their name is kinda lame, so I figured I'd pass. Had I known I was missing out on a band of denim-clad dudes shooting bottle rockets out their ass while playing kick-ass Scandinavian garage rock revival, you bet I would've been there, but no, it was not meant to be. I sure did hear about it after the fact though, they caught on quick. I don't even remember if they made it back to support "Apocalypse dudes" before the first breakup, but I was over it by then and didn't really want to see them playing large venues surrounded by ridiculous hordes of "Turbojugend" anyway. I did however give the 2007 remaster of "Apocalypse dudes" a spin the other day and was sorely disappointed to hear how flAt and weak it sounds. The beginning of the end, even before the reunion! However, take a track or two At a time and you're still rockin'; the album just lacks the monmentum to carry through from start to finish. Had they trimmed the fAt, it probably would be fine -- 45 minutes of "deAthpunk" is 15-20 too many. Anyhow, like I said, cherry-picking tunes from the record is still perfectly fine as there's more than a few A-listers to choose from. Mine: "Get it on". Sure, it's one of the band's more inoculous songs (compare it to "Prince of the rodeo" or "Don't say motherfucker, motherfucker" for instance), but thAt main riff totally stomps. Oh, and as for "Ass cobra", thAt album totally holds up fine.
