Sorry if the title of this post offends anyone, but that is the band's name and they have a habit of living up to it. That said, Anal Cunt is basically three jokes done over and over again with varying degrees of success, and the joke is usually to make a lot of noise, cover a popular song while making a lot of noise or say really offensive things while making a lot of noise. The noise part, it's pretty important. Because of these facts, despite some of their music being intensely funny, you really only need one album by them, and Top 40 Hits is probably that album. If you need more Anal Cunt though, Howard Is Bald is the one to get. Drunkenly improvised over disco records, all while endlessly mocking the record's namesake, Howard Is Bald is easily one of the most insane examples of homegrown hilarity.
Please don't take their offensive song titles or abusive words seriously, these guys are far too ridiculous to mean anything they say. In the over twenty years they've existed they've come to represent the sound of bored teenagers making talentless noise while getting drunk off of cough medicine or smoking crappy joints, all the while doing so rather professionally. It's hard to explain how they could be professional other than to say far more thought than necessary has clearly gone into their output. Seth Putnam, the group's leader, almost died of a drug overdose and fell into a coma, only to survive and play songs like You're In A Coma. Clearly, the dementia is part of the appeal.
Like I said, don't take these guys too seriously. I suggest you download this, plant your tongue firmly in your cheek and go drive around listening to these incredibly stupid songs. I'm including Top 40 Hits for download as well as you should hear it. Damn, these guys are stupid as hell, but that's part of the charm.
