    Prior to this album, The Bloodhound Gang had occupied a pretty unique niche in humor. Now that pop culture has been stripmined of its nostalgia by VH1 "I Love the X0s" shows, and been subjected to the superior musings of TV shows like Family Guy, Jimmy Pop may have - like a man with superglue in his urethra - needed to try a bit harder on this release.

Now that pop culture has been stripmined of its nostalgia by VH1 "I Love the X0s" shows, and been subjected to the superior musings of TV shows like Family Guy, Jimmy Pop may have - like a man with superglue in his urethra - needed to try a bit harder on this release. Sonically, the songs are overproduced ProTools slop and are totally unremarkable in terms of musicianship: a quality which spans their whole back catalog, of course, but is always eclipsed by the high-quality humor content. This album, however, presents itself in a different way: the guys seem to be trying to legitimize their 30-something music careers by turning down the "silly" and cranking up the bravado and misogyny on a handful of their new tracks - even more so than on "Hooray for Boobies". As a result of this, and also including the not-worth-mentioning filler tracks, there is such a dearth of good material on this album that it feels like an EP, packaged at full-length prices. BHG fans want one-liners to share with their friends, not FrootyLoops techno a decade too late to be impressive, or a relevant parody of itself. You know, a decade ago, if the Bloodhound Gang wrote a song entitled "Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss", it would have been about a mentally retarded guy trying to say "And this, and this, and this" when he's choosing shiny keys to stare at, not about drum kicks and hi-hat claps. As a fan since "One Fierce Beer Coaster", it's difficult to see any of the qualities in the new Bloodhound Gang release that endeared them to me in the first place. Yes, the song "Ralph Wiggum" is alright, but "alright" is not acceptable from a band that sees zero competition in its genre. These guys are the only luge team in the Special Olympics, and they even botched that. Perhaps Jimmy Pop will use the next half-decade to refine and update his ebbing wit. These years of groupie-groping seem to have dulled his perspective. With this release, it seems as though he's going to have to take a necessary, if not willing, sabbatical from both. And he should also check the fiber in his diet.… Expand

    Hefty Fine stands as a great disappointment. Although it features great songs and genius lyrics, there are only nine songs on it. Especially when the Bloodhound Gang announced that they had 4-5 songs which could have been recorded on to the album.

    If you've ever seen John Waters' "Pink Flamingos," I'm sure you remember that infamous last scene.

    There are two decent songs on the whole thing and the rest are pretty drab. I honestly don't think they are as bad as people say, there is just a lot of haters and it is a band which is held to a higher standard (a standard many assume it will not meet). Sadly though, most of the songs were fairly awful, but the two I liked were enough to give it a 4.

    The Bloodhound Gang were so great at humor. It's so minimal in this one that it's barely recognize; it's like half a regular Bloodhound Gang album. It's quite surprising to see such a disappointment from a band who made three albums over 6 years that were all full of humor that seemed so seemless and so gut-bustingly rich at nearly every, if not every, line and then The Bloodhound Gang were so great at humor.

    This album has some of the funniest lyrics I've ever heard. The Bloodhound Gang is just expecting the audience to 'think' a little bit, but I guess for some that is just asking too much. True, the previous albums were better, but this one isn't the worst I've heard.

    Earlier in the year I review The Bloodhound Gang's CD Single "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo". It was definitely a good disc. Thus it was with some enthusiasm that I fired up this album on Rhapsody and gave it a listen. This recently-released (September 27, 2005) album is the latest from the group.

It was definitely a good disc. Thus it was with some enthusiasm that I fired up this album on Rhapsody and gave it a listen. This recently-released (September 27, 2005) album is the latest from the group. It contains the title song of the CD Single I mentioned above as well as a number of other tracks. Overall it pretty effectively mixes techno sounds with rock and the standard Bloodhound Gang lyrical delivery. The cover of Hefty Fine, as you can see at the right, pictures a very large and apparently naked man inside a cardboard box, along with a warning to parents that the album contains some explicit lyrics (which it does, and which Bloodhound Gang fans expect). The album runs a bit under 40 minutes, about 3 of which are silence, and that feels pretty short for a modern release to me. On the other hand, most of the tracks are quality stuff, so better to have a shorter album with decent music than a longer one full of crap... The album starts with the track "Balls Out" which starts out sounding a little like a dance track, but picks up. The lyrics are delivered in a rap-like format for the most part, but the instrumentals feature a strong bass beat and some very jamming guitars. If you thought the "explicit lyrics" sticker was an exaggeration, this song would convince you otherwise before it's over. I think I heard most of George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on television in here. On a 1-10 scale, I'd rate this one somewhere in the neighborhood of a 6, mostly due to the strength of its instrumentals. The lyrics don't impress me that much, probably because I've grown up enough that it takes more than a stream of 4-letter words in a song for me to get a kick out of it. The second track is "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" which I won't go into much because I've covered it in the review of the CD single. This song is definitely a masterpiece from Bloodhoung Gang. It manages to cover every euphemism for male and female anatomy I've ever heard and many more, and do it with a beat and lyrical cleverness that shows how these guys keep getting recording contracts. I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Third comes "I'm the Least You Could Do". The chorus sums up the song's theme when it says "I'm the least you could do. If only life were as easy as you... I would still get screwed... " It's basically a tale of a guy who can't get ahead and can't get anywhere with a girl he wants to be with. The vocals are good, and the instrumentals definitely suit the lyrics. It gets about a 7 from me. Next is "Farting With a Walkman On" isn't an especially exciting track. No really clever turns of phrase or jokes beyond the title. I'll give it a 6. "Diarrhea Runs in the Family" is, to say the least, disgusting but silly. It appears to be, and probably is, someone recording the sounds made by a person who is relieving themselves from an attack of diarrhea. Fortunately, the track is only about 20 seconds long. This allows it to push the envelope of "disgusting" without going into the realm of inducing physical sickness. As a musical track, it gets a 0. As an amusing track, I'll give it about a 4. "Ralph Wiggum" is named after the character in The Simpsons. The lyrics seem like some kind of stream of consciousness thing. For example, "I heard a Frankenstein lives or she's touching my special area...yo banana.. Ralphie, get off... the stage.. sweetheart...oh, say can you rock... I'm a pop sensation..." It's entertaining to a point, but doesn't do much for me. It's geting a 5. "Something Diabolical" is a very fun song to listen to. If you're listening in stereo, every other line is spoken into the opposite ear. The overall song has an eerie feel to it, as you might guess from the title. For my taste, it has some of the best instrumentals on the album, and some of the best vocal performances. I'll give it a 7.5. "Overhead in Wawa Parking Lot" is a four-second track insulting a woman with unpleasant body odor. "Pennsylvania" doesn't make a great deal of sense, but it contains lots of fun phrases in the lyrics like "We are Zima, we are barf, we are cinderblock yard art, we are Baldwin brothers - not the good one but the others, we are Amway..." The instrumentals are catchy and make it easier to forget that the lyrics are nonsensical. One of the better tracks on the album, even. I give it a 7.5. "Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss" sounds like any dance mix song you might hear at a disco. The instrumentals are reminiscent of those in Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo. The lyrics sound at first like a stream of consciousness thing, but if you pay close attention, there is a basic story. The singer is wanting to score with a woman and thinks his music will help him get her ("all you need is my 'Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss"). You could probably play this at a club and people would dance to it without thinking twice. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. "No Hard Feelings" might be the most "rocking" song on the album. It talks about a relationship being over, with the singer telling his ex "Maybe you got screwed, but I dumped you because you ain't nothin' but trash. I put up despite the fact that you're like a Hawaiian Punch moustache... right under my nose, thinking I'm so Colonel Klink oblivious. But how could I not see you got off scot free 'cause I know this means it ain't my job to f-ck you on your birthday....anymore." This one is probably my second-favorite song on the album. It gets a 9 out of 10. After the end of "No Hard Feelings" there is a long stretch of silence, followed by a short one-liner from the band that is pretty lame to have to wait about 3 minutes for. I should dock them a half-point in the overall album rating for it, but I won't. If we average out the tracks on this album (excluding the two small tracks that aren't music), we get (6+9+7+6+5+7.5+7+9=56.5, 56.5 / 8) a 7.0 rating overall for the album. I don't think I'll argue with that as an overall rating for the album. There are a couple of great tracks here, a couple not-so-great ones, and some I didn't care for that much. If you're a Bloodhound Gang fan, it's a must-buy. If you're marginal about them, this might be one you decide to skip.… Expand

    I love the BHG. This album rox! Anyone who writes a song for Ralph Wiggum can do no wrong in my eyes. It a funny album. It's not like they are trying to be the greatest, most influential band on Earth, they're just having some fun... shouldn't we all.

    This album contains many clever songs. Lyrically Something Diabolical and I'm the least you could do are very well done and it has some really good trance and techno beats in i'm the least you could do and uhn tiss uhn tiss uhn tiss. Witty lyrics in many songs too (not unlike The bloodhound Gang)

    C'mon, man... Second-worst ever? I think not. It clearly isn't Bloodhound Gang's best work, but it's not the second-worst ever. How about all of those Idol rejects (and even the winners) who've released albums. Almost by definition, those albums are worse than this one. I gave it a 10 as a neutralizer. I think it's actually about a 6.5 or 7. I can think of a C'mon, man... Second-worst ever? I think not. It clearly isn't Bloodhound Gang's best work, but it's not the second-worst ever.

    With albums like this, American Soldiers in Iraq get inspired to Clogg up stuff into innocent people asses... The Bloodhound gang is as bizarre as the playfull Bush's vision on conquering the world through massacre and violence.

    I cannot believe the churlish poh faced rubbish coming from these nerdy twerp reviewers. Get a life. This album is the best of the BHG lot, even better than Falco, Chasey Lane or the discovery chanel (that bad smell). I'm going to their only UK gig in March 2007 unless I'm trapped by the confines of something or other.

    An album nearly forgotten. Released in 2005 by the Bloodhound Gang a band that made a big impact with their hit songs: The Bad Touch, Uhm Tiss Uhm Tiss and Fire Water Burn. This is an alto-rock-punk band that like to fill their lyrics with silly jokes and play with words. It's basically a bit childish, but guess what? They did it right this time. A short review:

This is an alto-rock-punk band that like to fill their lyrics with silly jokes and play with words. It's basically a bit childish, but guess what? They did it right this time. A short review:

    Strictly for the Tardcore:
    A joke about Eminem and Will Smith, and laughing with Jimmy Pop. Descent, but should've been placed later in the album. "That don't rhyme"
    3/5

    Balls Out:
    What a great way to open an album. Great pacing and -wicked sick- but simple powerchord riffs. Cool intro and funny speed-building bridges. Great for bashing peoples faces in at metal concerts or a chillout at the pool. "This dick don't hit the bottom but i **** the sides up."
    5/5

    Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo:
    A great single by the bloodhound gang. The Whole song is basically trying to say F-ck in many, and sometimes humorous ways. Great song with a soft 15 note rythym and a simple powerchord chorus. "In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though."
    5/5

    I'm the least you can do:
    Great song. If you get the funny lyrics you might even get a big laugh out of this. Simple eurotrance beat on the background but Lupus Thunder's beats will kick in and give a great chorus. The combination of music and lyrics make this song really worthy listening to.
    "I'm the least you could do, If only life was as easy as you."
    4/5

    Farting with the walkman on:
    Really dissapointing song. Rather boring music and not so-funny lyrics. The guitar kicks in on the right moment but it doesn't save the day. They can do better than this.
    "You might as well be farting with the walkman on"
    2/5

    Diarrhea runs in the family:
    Pretty amusing break from the tracks.
    4/5

    Ralph Wiggum:
    Best song of the album. Period. The whole song is even more special for those Americans and other folks that used to watch the Enlgish version of the Simpsons. The lyrics are Ralph Wiggum, the song is by Jimmy Pop. Great Combination. Cool break after the chorus and a really funny part with the reversed singing. "Ivan eht nioj"
    5/5

    Something Diabolical:
    Might remind you of 'Boom' or maybe 'Mope' only very dark horror-ish. Kinda cool if you can understand the lyrics. Not the usual Gang though, but it's great to know they can do this too. Jimmy Pop and his DJ perform.
    4/5

    Pennsylvania:
    The Gang tried to make a Anthem for the american state Pennsylvania. It didn't work out with the government, however it works really good as a song. With one of the best chorusses the Gang has delivered in years. Palm muted power chords make the build up and get loud when the song speeds up. Might be a bit difficult if you're not from the USA. "You are the heart dotted "i" in the word apologise"
    5/5

    Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss:
    This might be the song that got you into the Bloodhound Gang. For me, it wasn't. Although this is one of their hits, I find this one of their lesser songs. They should have Lupus Thunder kick in some crazy guitar riff to make it a little less bland.
    2/5

    Jackass:
    Really fun fast paced songs with a great amount of amusing lyrics. Slow chorus, but still really great. This would be used as the soundtrack for the original Jackass series, because of connections with Bam Margera, but another song was chosen.

    "If the Crocodile Hunter smoked weed Steve Irwin burnin' herb in his Jeep Thinks the kangaroos are laughin' at his haircut Used a bowl for that too but "
    4/5

    No Hard Feelings Hefty Fine: Pretty funny song of about Jimmy Pop singing about his girlfriend. Crazy techno riff on the background in between lyrics, and followed up by a cool 4 power chord piece. Lots of alternative breaks and such and lots of fun when you listen to it with attention. After a 4 minute wait after the song you get BamBam Margera saying 'Hidden Track Sh-t Dicks Out' Not really worth the wait, but hey, It's Bam Margera! Great way to end an album. "I've i wanted to be repeatedly sh-t on i'll go make Dutch porn." 4/5 Overall 8.2 /10, can't wait till their next album.    … Expand

    Hefty Fine is an all around excellent album, mixing rock, pop, techno, in incrfedible fashion. Jimmy Pops lyrics are always grimy it's apart of the appeal. Short albeit great!

    This album is different from the others, but I like the direction they're going in. Obviously Jimmy Pop is being more influenced from the techno/electronic scene in Europe and given he's always been a Depeche Mode fan, we should've seen this coming. Love all their songs and albums, but this one is one of my favorites. They are by far the laziest band in the world.

    This album is easily their worst. HFB & OFBC were pretty damn good, but this album just sucks. This album saw them go into a more, European electronic-like direction, with their same lyrics. Eh, not my cup of tea. If you want a good BHG album, go buy either their greatest hits or One Fierce Beer Coaster.

    This album starts by stating that "Eminem has to cuss to sell records". According to Hefty Fine hard work and talent have nothing to do with success.

There are fans of Bloodhound Gang out there, but to put it bluntly you have to be a hardcore fan to enjoy this. To start with lyrically the band is trying to make sure that the English language collapses at the feet of every other form of communication used musically. The music itself is WORSE than the lyrics. There is nothing appealing to the ear with this electronic alt rock mix. The best songs come across as sloppy and uninspired tracks from Blink-182 rip-offs. I can describe the entire album in one word: gratuitous. As in unnecessary, unwanted, unjustified and redundant. Comedically Jimmy Pop is on the same degree as Pauly Shore. Bloodhound Gang are revolutionists trying to expand the possibilities of how one can be unfunny. If you see someone trying to buy this album the least you could do is try to convince them otherwise. It is 40 minutes they will never have again. There is almost something diabolical in how they make their sound so mundane. No hard feelings to Bloodhound Gang fans, but one should be given a hefty fine if one finds their music funny.… Expand

    I think this album is fine. It's not a masterpiece, but it's still better than lots of mainstream pop music nowadays. The critics were too strict, this album should be about 50 on Metacritic

    Hefty Fine finds the Bloodhound Gang in a Catch-22 -- they've never wanted to be anything other than a dumb, silly hard rock band, but their shtick is getting tired, yet they're trapped by the confines of what they want to be.

    The nu-metal and new wave sendups are too conventional to work as either comedy or music--and the nonstop woman-bashing becomes repugnant fast. [Nov 2005, p.131]
