Wheatus - Wheatus [ECD] (CD 2003)

This bands style is catchy 'teen rock', With most of the tracks being up beat.

Though there are some slower tracks on there.

Personally, i found out of an album of 10 tracks, 6 were ok or better. So with 40% of the album being poor quality, you dont want to be spending more than a few pounds.

The tracks are:

1) Truffles - Poor, thankfully its short.
2) Sunshine - Below average, ruined by banjo (or something).
3) Teenage Dirtbag - Obviously the best track
4) A Little respect - Good, slower song. Provides variety to the album.
5) Hump'em Dump'em - Poor, bad lyrics, wierd vocals.
6) Leroy - Decent song. If not the best lyrics, good beat.
7) Hey, Mr.Brown - Poor, drums are a bit over the top in places.
8) Love is a Mutt from Hell - Good, likeable.
9) Punk A** B**** - Decent
10) Wannabe Gangstar - ok. Not bad.

If you are interested in getting the album because you like 'Teenage Dirtbag', i would suggest just getting the single.

There are no songs on par with 'teenage dirtbag' on this album.

Hope this helps.

I was watching one of the music channels the other day and caught Wheatus and their song Teenage Dirt Bag, and have to say I love that song so bought the album. It is brilliant, even has a revamped Erasure song on it which is just superb. My 15 year old son says I am to old for these sorts of bands but what does he know. If you are an older(40ish) rocker or even new romantic you will like this, other groups (if this is a new look at slightly more modern bands)you should look for are Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Blink 182 & Alien Ant Farm.

I HEARD 'TEENAGE DIRTBAG' ON HOLIDAY AND LOVED IT . CHECKED ON THE INTERNET WHO SANG IT AND THEN LOOKED ON EBAY TO BUY THE SINGLE. I FOUUND THIS ALBUM AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE THAT I BOUGHT THE ALBUM INSTEAD - AND SO GLAD I DID - A TRUELY EXCELLENT ALBUM!

I always wanted the album and for this price i could'nt leave it there. It arrived
quickly and safely i would definately recommned the seller to any one.

A good, solid album, if you have heard teenage dirtbag and like it then this is well worth the buy. Any punk lovers/Greenday/Blink 182 etc. then also worth a buy.

Wheatus have a particular sound, and I just wanted some of it. I bought this album to liven up my commute, and it has done that, but I'm not pretending it should be in the Q top 100 albums! Singing along to Teenage Dirtbag is great fun though (but not on the train!).

CD cost too much when first issued, waited 18 months, purchased it one fifth of the original price on ebay, at buy it now price. Excellent.

At reading through the names of the songs on the back, the album seems to be a bit off a mismatch, but on listening the whole album seems to make sense. I could really relate to this album and it was great great music. A must buy for anyone who doesn't own it.

A little respect is REALLY catchy, you'll be singing it for the next week after listening to it.
