All songs written or co-written by Green Jelly except "Anarchy In The U.K." (John Lydon/Steve Jones/Glen Matlock/Paul Cook).
Contains songs from the Green Jelly video album CEREAL KILLER.
Green Jelly was still called Green Jello when Cereal Killer Soundtrack was released in 1993, but when the makers of Jello objected to the name and the band faced legal action, a name change proved necessary. Comparable to GWAR but exhibiting a goofy personality of its own, the former "video only" outfit takes itself about as seriously as Spinal Tap on its first audio release. There's nothing even remotely serious about this album -- from start to finish, this is obviously a parody of thrash and heavy metal and alternative rock. A few of the songs sink under the weight of Jelly's self-indulgence, but at its best, the band can be wildly entertaining. Cereal's standout track is the nutty metal/rap hit "Three Little Pigs," and almost as much fun are "Electric Harley House (Of Love)" (Jelly's parody of Motörhead), "Obey the Cowgod," and a cover of the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy In the U.K." ~ Alex Henderson

One of the craziest one hit wonder albums of all time. We all crave to rock out in some sort of way. This album that came out in the early nineties intorduced a band that was on the gong show.It was gonged before they could even get there first word out of there mouths during the song. Then came out the hit"Three Little Pigs" and under ground hits like "House Me Teenage Rave""Obey the Cow god" The band had a cult following for a while. Green Jelly(was Green Jello before almost getting sued by the Jello company.)came out with a second album which did not sell as well.This band rock image was one of a kind. Consider it a clean version of a Gwar image and sound. I give this album 4 stars for it originallity Submitted by m00ngzr31 (Norfolk, Va.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

$8.29 One of the most interesting aspects about the Alan Parsons Project is the band's ability to forge a main theme with each of its songs, while at the same time sounding extremely sharp and polished. Much of this formula is used in Ammonia Avenue, only this time the songs rise above Parsons' overall message due to the sheer beauty of the lyrics partnered with the ...
