Dopo l'esplosivo "Hot Cars And Spent Contraceptives" e un non eccezionale "Never Is Forever" il combo norvegese torna a deliziare i palati di tutti i fan del "deathpunk" (stile col quale i nostri amano definire la loro musica) con il loro capolavoro nonchè uno dei migliori album punk degli anni 90: "Ass Cobra".
Marinai omosessuali, demoni in denim, erezioni incontrollabili, bottiglie rotte nel culo e nordamericani che assomigliano a Marlon Brando vi aspettano nel mondo politicamente scorretto oltraggioso e osceno della band di Oslo.
Con questo disco i Turbonegro si rifanno al punk di band come i Black Flag, Poison Idea ed in generale tutto l'hardcore americano degli anni '80 nonchè al proto punk di gruppi come i Dictators gli Stooges e gli Heartbreakers di Johnny Thunders rimescolate con un pò di hard rock e metal (Alice Cooper Motley Crue Motorhead): questo in definitiva è il deathpunk di cui i Nostri sono gli alfieri indiscussi: Alice Cooper che fa un cd coi Poison Idea.
Le tracce scorrono una dietro l'altro che è un piacere senza darvi il tempo di rendervi conto di cosa sta succedendo. Canzoni come "Midnight Nambla" "Denim Demon" e "Just Flesh" sono scariche adrenaliniche di punk-rock tiratissimo condite dalle chitarre ruvide di Rune Rebellion e Pol Pot Pamparius (Euroboy non fa ancora parte del gruppo) dalla voce assolutamente sgraziata di Hank from Hell. I testi sono volgarissimi e politicamente scorretti come in "Deathtime" lento punk dalla cadenza killer "Shaking hands with Morrisey sucking coks in east Africa ask a lesbian for a fuck take a shower in Auschwitz it's death time" o in "I Got Erection" con un riff impossibile da togliersi dalla testa che ricorda i mitici Poison Idea di "Plastic Bomb" e che ci illustra tutto ciò che ad Hank (il cantante nel caso ve lo foste dimenticato) provoca un alzabandiera: tra le varie cose picchiare donne ed ascoltare l'amato suono deathpunk.
Altre perle del disco sono la ramonesiana "Sailor Man": canzone d'amore dedicata ad un marinaio e le invettive hardcore dedicate a nerd e ragazzini in generale: rispettivamente "Hobbit Motherfuckers" e "Turbonegro Hates The Kids". Sono inoltre presenti tre cover "Raggare Is A Bunch Of Motherfucker" degli svedesi The Rude Kids "Mobile Home" degli americani The Lewds e "Young Boys Feet" degli storici The Dicks"
Che dire di questo disco, io personalmente lo adoro e lo consiglio a tutti coloro a cui piace certo hardcore anni '80 contaminato dal rock a'la Poison Idea e hard rock metal tamarro.
I Turbonegro sono una band serissima nel non prendersi sul serio e se non vi spaventa l'immagine omosessuale che ostentano con tanto orgoglio, testi sboccatissimi e assolutamente privi di morale unite ad un sound punk originalissimo nel ripescare clichè triti e ritriti allora lanciatevi sulla prossima copia di questo immenso gioiello (tra l'altro la copertina è una parodia/omagio del ben piu famoso "Pet Sound" dei Beach Boys) e mettetevi il vostro completo denim sperando che i paladini del deathpunk tornino anche in Italia per deliziarci anche dal vivo.
A mio parere in definitiva il migliore album punk (termine che gli va stretto visto tutte le contaminazioni che ha il loro suono) degli ultimi vent'anni e senza dubbio il migliore album deathpunk della storia della musica.

06 Bad Mongo (00:00)
He`s been waiting for soo long,
singing that same old institution song
A humanoid shape in the dence of night:
Bad Mongo`s got a very big knife
Run back home and lock the door,
the streets ain`t safe no moore.
Wild eyes and a dribbling tounge,
he likes murder, and he likes wrong
Bad mongo-gonna kick you in the face,
gonna schtompf you in the face
Gonna make you crawl
and beg before he makes you die
A Fuck The World tatoo on his arm.
The Iron Cross is his lucky charm
from the institution with an axe in his hand,
a genetic nightmare
It`s the Bad Mongo Man
Run back home...etc.
Bad Mongo gonna kick you in the face...etc.
Gonna stab you in the foot, gonna kill you in the
face
He`s gonna destroy the human race

Filled with foam -
Polyester catacomb -
Mobile Home -
My neighborhood's got the distinction -
Of being all the same -
There are rows and rows -
Of divorcees in a metal frame -

And I'm gonna die - In a trailor court -
Mobile Home -
Filled with foam -
Polyester catacomb -

09 Just Flesh (00:00)
Once upon a time
I thought that i'd go far
Pictured myself getting blowed
in a company car
But now those days are over
and the world is dry
I sit around, getting high
contemplating suicide
Thousands of people wonder
what's the matter with me
when I started wearing daipers
at the age of twenty three
Those hapless days are over
and the world is dry
I'd go for the meat and potatoes
but I ain't got the time
so
come on baby spank my ass
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
penetrate me with broken glass
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
baby make it hurt, baby make it last
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
it's just flesh
and nothing else
(solo)
Lets face the facts
my fate is sealed
Leather straps tied around my flesh
I'm down on my hands and knees
Now face the final cut
Guess I had to learn
Aggravation rises up
Feel my ass it burns
come on baby stroke my face c'mon
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
need some more of this sexual release
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
come on baby spank my ass
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
penetrate me with broken glass
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
baby make me come baby make it last
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
satan laughing spreads his wings
(just flesh)
(just flesh)
it's just flesh there's nothing else
10 Hobbit Motherfuckers (00:00)
Ethnic hairstyles,
Sloppy male hippies,
Retro punks,
People with thick glasses
Glorifying serial killers,
Hobbit motherfuckers
No guts,
No glory,
No riot!
Argh!!
Yargh!!
I've had enough!! (My generation sucks!)
Ach!
Ja!!
I agree! (My generation sucks!)
Cyber idiots with pierced scrotums
Copulating
With animals
In cars parked outside the rave party
Not enough war
Not enough famine
Not enough suffering
Not enough natural selection.
Argh!
Yargh!
That's what I say! (My generation sucks!)
Ach!
Ja!
I've had enough! (My generation sucks!)

Oh, sailor man -
Please take my hand -
Oh tender sailor man
12 Turbonegro Hate The Kids (00:00)
Nothing but a lepton -
With no reason to exist -
Not even worth my hate -
On the bottom of my list -
I hate the kids -
They got no right to live -

Why don't they just die -
Worthless beings -
Snotty fools -
Pathetic microbes -
Thinking they're so cool -
Think they're so cool -

Genetic debris -
Exterminate all bugs -
With agent Zyklon B -

I hate their clothes -
I hate their stupid looks -
When I play my rock-n-roll -
And I won't rest -
Until the judgment day -
Then we'll see who's best -
Just mark the words I say -
*Calling a judge-
Destroyer of worlds -
Kill all fools -
Thinking they're are so cool -
Thinking they're are so cool -
Thinking they're are so cool -
