Sounds Like: A brilliant, balls-out rock & roll record, from the opening junkie joke of "911 (Who Is Gonna Dial . . .)" and the cheeky title tune ("Chicks . . . cars . . . so American! . . . Drugs and bars are . . . so American!") to "Jesus Ain’t My Friend," with its bratty, finger-flipping swipes ("Jesus ain’t my friend . . . and you ain’t either! Gotta lotta friends . . . and you ain’t one of ’em!") and "Gonna Fuck You Up," a perfect blast of angry, end-of-the-century, piss-taking, beer-swigging ecstacy pounded out in just under two minutes. Drugs, death, random violence, sloth, mayhem, anarchy, uprising, laziness and rebellion also make cameo appearances. So American, indeed.
