AMG Review of Musical Monkey

Adam Bregman
All Music Guide

From Orange County comes a band that reflects all the worst aspects of the Orange County punk scene. Of course they're homophobic, exemplified on the song "Big Pink Dress," where they sing frat-nitwit lyrics like, "I live with Bill/It's such a thrill/We get on so fine/We tend our garden every day/Sometimes we get 69." Guttermouth also try to be sarcastic and humorous à la the Vandals. Musically, they play by-the-numbers punk rock. "Corpse Rotting in Hell," a minute-long takeoff on death metal with a dog bark at the end, is a standout and worth a chuckle.
