JohnnyApr 22, 2006Listen, if the listeners have fun then the music is fun. I've seen him live 3 times and he gives you your money's worth every time. This is one of my favorite albums of all time.

IanGJan 8, 2004Cometh the year, cometh the Darkness. But Andrew WK did it first, revitalising metal in a way that has to be heard to be believed. To list the highlights is really to list all but a couple of the tracks (the last one's a bit suspect), but the title track is a work of genius, and 'Party Hard' deserves to be an even bigger anthem than it is.

EzraDMar 10, 2008You get into this album by laughing at its ridiculousness. Then, by the sheer force of AWK's sincerity, you begin to love it, and you love it genuinely.

TapApr 15, 2002Every now and then someone comes along with a sound so different, so unique, so revolutionary that it changes that it freakin rearranges the mountains on the rock landscape. This is a fun album to listen to until that record comes around.

MichaelE.Aug 19, 2002If you realize that even he doesn't take his style of music that seriously, it's one of the most enjoyable rock albums ever.

BenAApr 21, 2005Not a musical masterpiece, but it isn't supposed to be. What it is however is great fun for people who don't need soul-searching lyrics to PARTY HARD.

TRGSep 9, 2007The genius isn't apparent until you realize there isn't an ironic bone in AWK's body.

JustinAug 2, 2009The fact that he hit himself in the face with a brick for the album artwork really says it all. I'm not sure what my favorite track is. Maybe it's "It's Time to Party" or "Party Til You Puke." But it's probably "Party Hard," which is probably about as good as "Love Live the Party" and "PARTY PARTY PARTY" combined.

BlindspotApr 18, 2002The musical equivalent of eating a raw steak. Hackneyed, vapid and humorless, this is the sound of overpowered advertising-grade session musicians paired with a spastic messiah-complexed white boy from middle America. Easy to see why it might work in Non-US countries.

TurdFergusonApr 18, 2002Nice sounds, similar to the old days of true metal. At times, they sound like KISS, which to me is a good thing.

ChloeJApr 28, 2009I loved this album. I know the lyrics aren't very deep but I don't think all albums need to be "symbolic" or have metaphors for everything. Sometimes people need that fun album to work out to.

Aug 16, 2010People say they don't know which track is best. There's only 1 track!
And Andrew ... please wash your jeans & buy new sneakers. I don't know what statement you're trying to make, but every time i see you I keep thinking about tv commercials for Daz Automatic and other leading brands of washing powder. -

Apr 23, 2013Hard-arena-party-rock from a classically trained pianist. The concept sounds ridiculous and cheesy, and it is which makes it a fun record that demands to be replayed. Its stupid, but its clever.
-
Sep 13, 2015Without a doubt, the greatest party rock album there ever was. This guy's energy is incredible. Every song has this amazing party aura that is so addicting. Sure the songs are repetitive, but if you're looking for some feel-good fun jams, this is a great album to check out.
-
Feb 23, 2015It's a twelve course meal where cheesy metal is the only thing on the menu and it's all served loud. Don't listen to this guy for a deep and thoughtful experience - just turn the volume up to ten and party down.

Feb 4, 2018Brilliant album, there's not much else to say, I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't like it, they're really missing out.

Nov 19, 2022Heavy ,funny and enthralling punk rock with a fierce spirit . Doesn't try to be more than it is but it does what it intends excellently transforming dated numetal adjacent punk rock into timeless music made for deafening volumes and moshpits

So then, what is the excuse for a typically elitist music nerd to bow to Andrew WK's blistering tard-rock? That's right, folks: there isn't one.
-
At its best, WK's music is a refreshing blast of skanky air on the current stale music scene, but at its worst, it's disappointingly monotonous, unoriginal, and very, very dumb.
