Surfin' M.O.D.


Surfin' M.O.D. is an EP from American crossover thrash band, M.O.D.. It was released in 1988 on Megaforce Records and follows 1987's debut album, U.S.A. for M.O.D. In 1989, the band subsequently released Gross Misconduct, their second full length-studio album.
Apart from Billy Milano, it featured a completely different line-up compared to the first album released a little more than a year previous - it included among others, Tim Mallare on drums, who later went on to play with the thrash metal band Overkill.
This release has two parts:
-"The Movie" which is a spoken word story featuring actual songs in between the dialogue for a fake movie.
-"The Sound Track Without The Movie". It is the actual music from the movie separated into tracks and without all the dialogue.
The CD lists the following erroneous track list on the cover:
  1. Surfin' U.S.A.
  2. Surf's Up
  3. Sargent Drexell Theme
  4. Mr. Oofus
  5. Party Animal
  6. Color My World
  7. Shout
This track list is in fact incorrect, as "The Movie" is track one, "Sargent Drexell Theme" is only included as part of track one, and there is an unlisted CD-bonus track as track eight.
