The fact that this was one of my favorite records as a dumb suburban kid should surprise no one. It's juvenile, pissy, so unPC (being PC is NOT fun, ahem, Fugazi) and it just plain rocks balls n ovaries. Additionally, one must appreciate the fact that this band added absolutely nothing and took nothing away. Like West Coast punk cotton candy or astronaut ice cream.

Allmusic.com: Destructive, mischievous, and politically incorrect are just some of the words to describe L.A.'s Angry Samoans. And with their second album Back From Samoa, they remain to have that inability to care about who's toes they step on; as long as they continue to blast out their aggressions, it's all good. The results are pretty tasteless and without shame with songs like "They Saved Hitler's Cock" and the cuss ridden "Ballad of Jerry Curlan." Then there's the hit-you-from-behind "Lights Out," "Steak Knife," and "You Stupid Jerk," each clocking in under a minute. With this amount of nihilism, "Back From Samoa" can instigate the trouble-maker out of anyone. And give additional credit to the Samoans for being this blunt, PC activists will be screaming for the doors upon hearing this.
