More on Hell-O
Description from Wikipedia:
Hell-O! is the first album released by rock/heavy metal/punk band GWAR. It was released in 1988, on Shimmy Disc Records.
GWAR's angle on this album is that of a morbid punk band (a la The Mentors, The Misfits, Butthole Surfers) obsessed with debauchery, violence and toilet humor. The songs generally support the theme of the group quite well, expanding the band's concept to comic proportions and supporting the back story.
The album is a divisive point among fans of the band, who generally love it or hate it. Hell-O is the least-frequently played album in concert and discussed by the band in interviews, although this could be because the band's line-up has changed to the point where no one from this period is still in the band (save Brockie himself). "GWAR Theme" and "Pure As The Arctic Snow" are the two songs most often played live (though they are rare in appearance), and occasionally, the band will play a medley of songs from the album, ranging anywhere from 3 songs to (more recently) 12 songs, which is more than half the album.
On the other side of the fence, detractors of the album criticize its raw production. Chuck Varga, who played The Sexecutioner, recently posted on GWAR fan page Bohab Central that he was so disgusted with the sound quality of the recording that he walked out of the session after hearing a few tracks. "I know the bands music and it sounded much better than it did on Hello," he said, going on to say that producer Mark Kramer "didn't care how GWAR sounded" and "gave us one of the most embarrassingly recorded LP's in history." The [low] quality of the production is further indicated by the length of the recording session - the course of a single weekend. However, consensus across the board is that the album wasn't as bad as We Kill Everything (an album especially reviled by Dave Brockie and Michael Derks).
