The Dwarves Come Clean is an album by punk rock band Dwarves, released on Epitaph in 2000. [3] [4] It was reissued as a picture disc LP in July 2000 on the Cold Front label. [4]
The band offered the song "River City" to George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, feeling that its chorus of "I want to rape the U.S.A." was appropriate. [5]

Pitchfork | 6.0/10 [9] |
Steve Huey of AllMusic gave the album a 3-star rating, commenting on its departure into "catchy, garagey punk-pop tunes with jackhammer electronic beats," and calling it "one of their most intriguing albums." [6] Matt Le May of Pitchfork rated the album at 6.0 out of 10, describing the album as "trite, overused guitar progressions, incompetent pentatonic solos, and seriously fucked-up lyrics," but going on to say that "interesting sounds do occasionally pop up," and crediting the band for fully embracing "the role of fucked-up punk rockers." [9] Westword deemed it "an oddball fusion of punk, industrial and dance." [10] The Cleveland Scene called it an "overlooked classic" and a "slick and severe album full of potential radio hits that should have been the Dwarves' breakout LP." [11]
