This would be AMG's pick for
the Vindictives if it wasn't for the fact that there is not one original song on here.
Party Time for Assholes is more of a concept record that was originally released as a double ten-inch that included nothing but cover songs. Not to say that this is a bad thing -- as a matter of fact, their versions of the Sonics' "Strychnine,"
Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World" and
the Vapors' "Turning Japanese," for example, are as great as the originals. And with over 25 songs to be found on
Party Time for Assholes, there's no way that this record could not appeal to someone.
