AMG Review of Love Songs for the Retarded

Kembrew McLeod
All Music Guide

Even after 11 years, the Queers haven't grown up, as is evidenced by song titles like "Ursula Finally Has Tits," "I Can't Stop Farting," and "Noodlebrain." "Granola-Head" is an ultra-poppy anti-hippie rant that sums up the band's philosophy. Most of the album alternates between the guitar-driven pure pop craft of "Daydreaming" and the less melodic, raging punk of "Monster Zero." It is, nonetheless, a giant leap from their first album, Grow Up.
