Guttermouth Albums Ranked TIER LIST

*Disclaimer* If you are someone who is easily offended and has the sense of humor of a porcupine, you probably won't like Guttermouth. Their music is quite vulgar, heavily laced with sarcasm, and is generally not meant to be taken seriously. You have been warned.

1. Friendly People (1994) - FAV

Pro: First release for Offspring front man Dexter Holland's Nitro Records. (Yes, we are still listing this a "pro" even though we're very upset with Mr. Holland for firing drummer Pete Parada who's doctor advised him not to take the vaccine because it could be worse for his particular situation).

I enjoy the spoken word lyric style of "You're Late"

and the ska style guitar strumming on "Veggicide"

Difficult to pick just 5 songs for my list of album favorites.

All of Guttermouth's albums are vulgar but with songs like "Asshole" and "Bullshit" this album is definitely not for those who are easily offended.

Con: The last time I saw Guttermouth perform was at Warped Tour in 2009 and they didn't play the crowd favorite "Asshole" despite the fact that everyone was chanting for it.

Fav songs: "End on Nine"

2. The Album Formerly Known As Full Length LP (1991/96) - FAV

Pro: Originally released in 1991, but was re-released in 1996 with the additional tracks from 7-inch releases during the same era. The CD version of this re-release was how I first discovered Guttermouth.

If someone asked me to recommend three albums that define "punk rock" in my book, this would be one of those albums. Fast, aggressive, and drenched with sarcasm.

I still hear the intro to "Bruce Lee vs the KISS Army" in my head whenever I see anything relating to martial arts on TV.

I love songs like "Hypocrite" and "1, 2, 3... Slam!" that change the pace throughout the song. Guttermouth is quite good at this. Awesome ebb-and-flow energy songs to experience in a mosh-pit.

"Mr Barbeque" & Lagwagon's "Mr Coffee" will have to duke it out as contenders for Best "Mr" Songs in punk. (Mr BBQ vs Mr Coffee cartoon?)

4. Musical Monkey (1997)

Pro: Two songs essentially "defined" this album upon it's release. That's not taking anything away from the rest of the album because the rest of the album is awesome. But it speaks to just how edgy and memorable they were at the time. These songs had nop music videos on MTV and major radio would never even think of playing the songs even if they edited it. But these songs went viral among the skatepunks and X Games generation in an era just before Jackass was about to bring the skateboarding music scene to the masses.

I've always enjoyed Guttermouth's spoken word songs; "What If?" is a funny tune about a hypothetical scenario involving Fred Schneider of the B-52's trying out as vocalist for The Doors.

"Baker's Dozen" is a comedic look at different styles in the scene.

Con: A buddy of mine who was getting interested in freestyle rap at the time once sat in the back of the car while we were driving around listening to this album and said "the rhymes on this album are weak." He's not entirely wrong. Mark is a clever lyricist but there are indeed some weak or forced rhymes on a few of the tracks.

Fav Songs: "Perfect World"

7. Gusto (2002)

Pro: Gusto is highly under-appreciated album, in my opinion. As a "punk" album, Gusto is terrible. As a "pop punk" album, Gusto is actually quite enjoyable.

Underneath the poppy exterior, this is some of the band's most lyrically humorous and musically diverse material.

How can you not laugh at the concept of the album cover?

Con: I think one of the major criticisms for this album is that Mark Adkins experiment with voice-tuning software while recording Gusto. So I can totally understand why he and others might look back at this album with a bit of shame. But this was a groundbreaking technology at the time, so I don't really blame them for trying it out either. This is also something that has become a standard practice in the industry these days, for better or worse.

I'm good with the experimentation just for one album.

Fav Songs: "Vacation" / "Pee In The Shower" / "Foot Long" / "My Girlfriend" / "My Town"
