Review
More direct and focused than Cereal Killer Soundtrack but often equally amusing, 333 finds Green Jelly continuing to parody heavy metal, thrash metal and alternative rock with highly entertaining results. The band is still too self-indulgent for its own good at times, but it's less of a problem than before. Though nothing on this CD is in a class with "Three Little Pigs," tracks like "The Bear Song" (which almost sounds like a sequel to "Pigs"), "Jerk," "Carnage Rules" and "Pinata Hed" showed that the rockers still weren't afraid to have a great deal of fun. Consistently irreverent, Jelly doesn't hesitate to parody everyone from Ministry to Guns N' Roses to the Beastie Boys. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi| 331 (2006 Album by John Garr) | |
