"Well I couldn't help but laugh when I saw cheez-its review. If he had been paying any attention to the vandals lately, he would've known that they don't play these songs live, and that it's a re-release of their Slippery When Ill album. They didn't make this album to make $, they did it for the fun of it. The Vandals aren't rednecks. They're more punk than you'll ever be...Oh yeah and by the way, I give it three stars because although it has some good/funny songs on it, it did have some pretty bad ones."
Slippery When Ill Re-Visited

"This is vintage Vandals. What cheez-it doesn't understand is that this is actually a reissue of the late 80's LP "Slippery When Ill", which came out right before Fear of a Punk Planet. This is Punk. Goop is a classic, and Clowns is sheer camp. The Vandals best album outside of Peace."
Goop all over the punks

"Shame on the poseurs for not paying attention. Yes, this is a re-issue of the semi-legendary "Slippery When Ill" with a couple of changes. The Vandals aren't the clown princes of punk for nothing, so if you don't get it maybe you better stay home. Joey and the fellas never did a better job of laughing at themselves and at the pseudo-punks who cried about the band going country. Yeah, it's missing "Shiite Punk", but what's in a tree-fort, anyway? Buy it if you're not a sheep."
The Best Album The Vandals Ever Recorded

"This "joke" is one of the best albums of the 80's. The reissue here is still drop-dead hilarious, but the addition of "Play That Country Tuba, Cowboy" it is a veritable "milk through the nose" laugh riot. Just like with post-punk pranksters like El Vez and The Dead Milkmen, neo-baby-punx of the 21st century are most likely too serious about a genre that died 20 years ago to see the genius here. Maybe one day, they will lighten-up enough to realize that their "punk" is just mainstream fluff, and outrageous, out-of-bounds albums like this one will be the ones to endure the test of time."
Punk geniuses strike again!

"Punk legends the Vandals prove again why they're better than the rest. 10 hilarious punk-a-billy tracks that throw water balloons at country music while playing it. The lyrics are brilliant as usual on a Vandals disc, but this disc isn't the Vandals CD you should start with. Vandals fans who REALLY get the Vandals will appreciate this clever record. Best tracks include: "Goop all over the phone", "Susanville" and "Elvis Decanter". Great CD for Vandals fans, just make sure you're familiar with their other work or you'll be left scratching your head like Cheez-it was. Vandals rule!"
