Overview
[edit]Party Animals is the first Turbonegro album where the band collaborated an external producer. The album was recorded in Oslo between November and December in 2004, then mixed and mastered in Los Angeles in early 2005 together with Steven Shane McDonald. The album sound appears fierce, blunt and with less focus on studio production refinements in comparison to its predecessor Scandinavian Leather. Keith Morris and Nick Oliveri contribute guest vocals on one song each, while the Norwegian Radio Orchestra features on "City of Satan". Bassist Happy-Tom stated that the album was inspired by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Black Flag and Shostakovich.
In popular culture
[edit]- "All My Friends Are Dead" was featured in Jackass Number Two, Viva La Bam, Bam's Unholy Union, Dirty Sanchez: The Movie, Norwegian horror movie Fritt Vilt, CSI: Miami, and also in the French amateur movie Morbid Wanka. It was also featured in Just Cause 4’s DLC pack Dare Devils of Destruction in 2019.
- "City of Satan" is featured in the first episode of series 2 of the NRK series Skam.
- "Wasted Again" is featured as a downloadable track for the video game series Rock Band.
