Guttermouth – Gusto

Guttermouth, who consists of 4 members all from Orange County, California, have made a “zesty” album here. With songs which you will ever love or hate. They have master the art of making quick two or three minutes punk songs, all the time keeping a great senses of humor.  They open the album with Camp Fire Girl #62. This is a fairly good song. The song starts off a bit slower then most of the songs on the album, but then speeds up in the chorus. It has pretty good lyrics (And even though she’s an idiot, I get excited when I see her) and a excitant beat, overall this is a good song to open up the album, and makes way for my second favorite song, Scholarship In Punk. This was the very first song by Guttermouth I had ever heard, and it got me hooked right away. It is a fast paced song about hating high school, and the only good thing is “falling in love with a beautiful girl like you”.  It has catchy lyrics like: “You know I never liked high School” and “Some say I’m not too bright” which just crap your attention right away. It just a great punk rock song, fast paced, fast vocals, good riffs, overall an excellent song.

Gusto is the third song. This is yet another fairly quick song. With some aspects which remind me of a hill-billy song. Its a good song, with catchy lyrics, but it is nothing compared to Vacation. Vacation is one of my favorite songs on the album, it is a catchy song about just needing a vacation. It has a great guitar riff in the background for most of the song.

Contagious, the fifth song, I really do not like. The vocals are annoying, the beat repetitive (and not in a good way). It is just not a good song. But Pee In The Shower makes up for it.  This song is definitely my favorite on the album. Although the beat is slightly repetitive, I absolutely LOVE the lyrics. They are just so incredibly hilarious. I wont wreck the song by telling you them, but simply by the title you can get some of it. Walk Of Shame is one of Guttermouth’s better songs.  It is one of their fastest songs, with catchy lyrics, and you feel the need to listen to it once more after its done.

My Town, is another song which I dislike. It is like a hip-hop song, and I just cant find a way to enjoy it. Contribution is a decent song, but with nothing special. Foot Long is another one of my favorite songs. It once again has incredibly hilarious lyrics, as it is a song to honor their “foot long”. Looking Out For #1 is a good song, in some way it reminds me of a pirate song, don’t ask me why I say that, I just find that it does. The song is done well, and definitely worth a listen to. I’ll skip one song, and go to My Girlfriend, the 13th song. This is the best song of the final three, it has catchy lyrics and a absolutely amazing chorus.Twins is the previous song, and Lemon Water is the final song. I hate both of these. I feel that Guttermouth should’ve ended the album in a way better. Lemon Water starts off ok, but then like 95% of the song is just talking about what people eat at a restaurant.  Guttermouth backed out of this song, and ended the album awfully. Luckily, since its the last one, I can just skip it.
