This, quite simply put, is the single most corrosive, cynical, sarcastic, atheist, subversive, anarchic, venomous, in-your-face piece of doggy fecal matter ever thrown in the face of the cultural/political establishment and illuminated elites by a bunch of countercultural, nonconformist Lower-East-Side commie pinko derelicts. The album is, basically, an equivalent of an act of public defecation at the Royal Wedding. In one fell swoop, The Fugs managed to sing about CIA conspiracies, human excrement, dope dealing, fetishes, homosexuality, manage-a-trois, Satanism, and God knows what else. How the Fugs were not collectively arrested and hauled-off into a maximum-security prison somewhere in Death Valley after they recorded this (maybe they were buddy-buddies with J. Edgar Hoover with whom they shared some, ahem…bizarre proclivities?) is beyond me. They most certainly don't make albums like this anymore. Just read the titles, and be enlightened: We're the Fugs - New Amphetamine Shriek - Saran Wrap - The ten commandments (by God and Tuli Kupferberg) - Hallucination Horrors - I command the house of the Devil - CIA Man - Coca-Cola douche - My bed is getting crowded - Caca Rocka - I saw the best minds of my generation rot.
The front cover showing Ed Sanders in a pose which manages to simultaneously parody both William Blake's 'Brand New Day' and Eugene Delacroix' 'Liberty leading the People' is alone worth the price ofadmission. It is a riot – and we mean: RIOT!!!! Wilhelm Reich must be laughing his derriere off in his grave.
