W.A.S.P. Kill, Smurf, Die

Great f'in album. Any of the metalheads here like it?

i love this album, although many panned it for it's industrial leanings. i thought it was fantastic & it stands in my top 3 WASP albums.

Love that subject title! And yes, I dig this album, but I basically just got into W.A.S.P. this year, so it wasn't such a shock to me. I'm sure if I were a longtime fan this album would have taken me by surprise.

Don't mind it at all. A little industrial I guess, but not too bad. I bought it as a new release and have always liked it.

I like this album a good bit even though I haven't played it in awhile. But their first album is still my favorite.

Geez, I guess I'm the only one who thought K.F.D. sucked rocks?

Seriously, I couldn't stand that album, and I've been a W.A.S.P. fan since the debut. There are probably some decent songs on there, but they're smothered by all the industrial/programming stuff. I like the live versions of the songs on the DOUBLE LIVE ASSASSINS album better than the studio versions; they sound less processed.

Still love W.A.S.P. but this is one album I wish Blackie would take back.

I will never forget when I first picked that up at the CD store, my brother and I left the store, I put it in my car stereo, and about a minute into the first track my brother sez "What's with the Nine Inch Nails s**t?" Hahaha.

I've been thinking about putting my copy up for trade if anyone's interested. I never listen to it anyway.

Hated it when it came out and I still hate it 10 years later. Saw the tour for it and it was pretty bad too. Blackie was just riding trends on this one. I think the show I saw was the last one on the tour with Motorhead because Lemmy and Blackie got in a fight. At least that's what I remember about it.

I agree pretty much with Fat Freddy. I never liked Industrial, and those leanings were horid. There were several songs that could have been killer. When I bought it, I thought, "I really hope the music doesn't suck as much as the album title" ...it did.. (Geez, even "Kill, SMURF, Die"" would sound better!)

I haven't liked anything they've done since The Crimson Idol.

The Neon Gods weren't too bad, but otherwise I agree with SUC.

KFD was Blackie taking the W.A.S.P. sound to another level. Blackie is a genius, KFD is genius, etc etc. Kill Your Pretty Face is very intense.

I hated it too when it came out but now i think its a little better then 10 years ago and some songs are not bad. But 10 years ago i was very angry with the band.

i dunno about genius, but the songs are somlid & heavy. it's every bit as good as any album they've ever released.

I don't hate it. Rarely listen to it. Can't even remember what I said about it on NLTM.

It was alright, far from their best. And in no way measures up to any of their old material. I did like THE NEON GOD alot though.

Helldorado is worse, but KFD isn't all that much better.

Helldorado is my favorite, believe it or not. I such a Blackie fan boy that I believe the man can't miss.

Helldorado was pretty good, though I dont' think it's aged very well. It was nice to see Blackie doing a good ol'fashioned "Get drunk till you can't stand up" party album again after how dark K.F.D. and the couple of albums before it had been.
Besides, that bit about "Ammonia balls have I" always cracks me up.
