Review
When you first look at the description of this album and this band, before having listened to it, you get pretty puzzled. A Norwegian gay Punk-Metal band with titles like Rendezvous with Anus which draws comparisons to Spinal Tap but is also universally loved by critics and has a truly impressive fan-base.
Then you listen to the album and you get it. This is probably the most interesting metal album since Black Sabbath, drawing as much from the Dictators and New York Dolls as from any metal band. In the end the name they gave their own music, deathpunk, seems to fit them perfectly.
This album is anything but boring, each track lives on its own and in the album as a little burst of anger, fun and entertainment. Frankly I loved this and I highly recommend it. Their influence is more than obvious on other Nordic punk bands such as The Hives but Turbonegro's sense of what makes Rock great, its ridiculousness, over the topyness and sheet fun makes them stand out as truly great.

Trivia
From Wikipedia:
Moshable magazine commented: "Apocalypse Dudes is the perfect mix of classic 70's US punk / rock'n'roll like The Dictators, The Heartbreakers & The Ramones... every tune on this release is fucking brilliant". Even Jello Biafra was quoted as saying, "the new Turbonegro record is possibly the most important European record ever."
