Review of Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying

Label: Earache Records / Year: 2007 / Artist website

Ok dudes, grab your beer bongs because Municipal Waste is here to ensure they get plenty of use! Unloading like a mutated hybrid of DRI, Exodus & Andrew WK, Municipal Waste bring the Thrash Party complete with shouted gang choruses, plenty of fast tempos and riff-tastic guitars all in a cloud of stale sweat & puke!

Was that PR enough? Seriously, Municipal Waste knows what Punk-tinged Thrash Metal is supposed to sound like and The Art Of Partying plays like a how-to manual on the genre. No underlying political musings, no threat of anyone taking themselves too seriously, no pretense. This record is wall to wall, good (un)clean fun! The sonics are fantastic, the riffs induce instant neck-thrashing, & the tempos are wild enough to cause a pit in the front seat of your car (though not recommended)!

This is no throwback, this is the real deal! If the album cover & song titles were not enough to give it away (I mean, come on, “The Inebriator”, “Born To Party”, “Beer Pressure” & “Headbanger Face Rip”…pretty much on the sleeve there), you can’t be taught. For the rest of you (who all probably have this pre-ordered), you and your buddies are ensured a night of alcohol, bruises & energy…and one wicked hangover the next day! Thrash on!
