A "Must Own" for any fan!P. Anyone having heard this band knows that their offbeat lyrics and quick tempo tracks are a given, and "My E. " delivers in full! This is a very addictive CD, and I find myself playing it more often than "American Cheese" lately. My favorite tracks are High School and Bridge Under Troubled Water, but I find myself humming The Sportsman Bar and Nikki Webster quite often. Buy a copy, right now, stop reading and hit Add To Cart. I mean it!.
Buy them all
"High School" and "Fight For Your Right" are my personal favorites. You can't go wrong with any Nerf Herder album.
a five on the pop-punk scale
The are no Ramones, but they play the best kind of pop-punk. Nerf Herder is probably the catchiest pop-punk next to the Vandals. . . funny and humorous. When I say pop-punk I don't mean Good Charlotte or Simple Plan. Not like that stuff at all. Nerf Herder play up-tempo, extremely funny, slightly perverted (no cussing really though, if that matters to ya) punk that just kicks it. I can't really tell you why this album gets a 5, you gotta hear it for yourself. For fans of NOFX, the Vandals, Guttermouth, the like.
Pretty good
I think this is a must have for all(the diehard) Nerf herder fans, because it's a re-released with some funny new songs and classics, so buy it now . . . don't forget the video.
For the diehard fans only...
P. While the first few tracks on Nerf Herder's "My E. " (orginally released on Joey Cape's now dead label, My Records) still stand as some of Nerf's funniest songs, the three new songs (four counting the bonus track) suffer from the same problem that the majority of their last album, "American Cheese", did: it's just not that good. None of it stacks up to any of the lyrics from "How to Meet Girls" or music from "Nerf Herder". However, it's still worth a buy to hear the original songs remixed and remastered (they all sound excellent), and to see the very funny "Sportsman Bar" music video. But note that the orginal bonus track, "Come Back Down" has been removed.
