So, after so long waiting it finally arrived at my door and was brought to me by the zombie like Weed Junkie that lives in the attic (he's kind of like our Lurch, but 100% useless and we have to pay him for the internet). Henyway, the first thing I can say about it is it's fast. Very fast, in fact upon my first listen to had reached the last track without me evening realizing. It churned through 5 tracks in about a minute. Its true Grind/PV to the max.
The A-side starts off with some soothing Operatic number which is ended with the sound of it being ripped across the needle before the NOIZE commences. In that briefest of brief minute that the A-side is, the Warboys manages to send a big fuck you to Metallica, a whole host of TV celebs and worships Japanese Thrash and Power Violence legends BREAKfast and Fuck on the Beach, before the title song Too Drunk To Skate begins with a rousing Gang Chant of "Im too fucking drunk to skate".
The B-side contains some amusing audio clips and some good lyrics about the fallacy of Punk, about masculinity and just some all out hatred. This sides a little ploddier and more Power-Violencey then the A-side which is much more Grind orientated.
Charles vocals range from all out screaming to that Cookie-Monster style we all know and love delivering a punch to the songs. The lyrics themselves are pretty funny but the serious message still remains intact despite the casual nature of its approach. The instrumentals are pretty standard for a band of this type: Play it fast, Play it Loud, they do so brilliantly. Kai's drumming is unbelievably fast and the others do well to match the pace.
All in all, its a pretty good record. Its bog-standard Grind/PV and its enjoyable. If you're into bands like Fuck on the Beach or Charles Bronson, you'll enjoy this. Its not a must own, but its good stuff.
