My Personal Favorite NOFX album
I always find myself singing along to this one, and I feel this album probably flows the best out of all of their library. I got into NOFX through "Pump up the Valuum" but I would definitely say that this is definitely their best album, at least in my opinion. I will admit this one and Punk in Drublic are neck and neck though. So, if you are thinking about checking out NOFX, this album or Punk in Drublic are both good starter choices.


This album NEVER gets old
. . for me at least. i can always go back to this album when i get bored of what im listening to. i've owned this cd since 1999 when i discovered NOFX. i like it better the punk in drublic. if you have never listen to nofx before i suggest getting this cd first and going from there.


One Of Their Best
The cool thing about this cd is that it doesnt seem like they were trying to put together a great album considering it took less than 3 days to put it together and record and most of the songs are only around 2 minutes long. This little punk album is actually one of NOFX's best albums but there are a bunch just as good. This album literally flies by making you wish that there were more tracks. . . and that is definately a good thing. There is almost no filler like on some of their albums and my favorite songs are 180 Degrees, Quart In Session, Dad's Bad News, All Outta Angst, I'm Telling Tim, All His Suits Are Torn, The Desperation's Gone, It's My Job To. . . & the short but sweet Murder The Government. NOFX lays down some of their catchiest songs ever here for instance 180 Degrees is my favorite song by them to date so if you are a slight fan of the band do not hesitate to pick this up.


NOFX IS AWESOME
if u dont have this album what r u waiting for buy it now.


Fun, Fun, Fun...

Well, yesterday, I had went CD hunting at FYE. I was looking for cheaper stuff, though, because. . . well. . . me and my family ain't too terribly rich. I saw this CD on sale for 10 bucks. I already owned their compilation and I really liked it. My favorite song on the comp was on this one, so I picked it up. It was well worth my ten dollars, let me tell ya'. Guess I'll do a song-by-song review now. Woot!

It's My Job To Keep Punk Rock Elite - 8/10
Kind of bratty, but that's the fun of NOFX, isn't it?

Kids of the K-Hole - 10/10
One of my favorites on the album. I loved it when I heard it on one of the Punk-O-Rama CDs, so I was quite happy this was on here.

Murder The Government - 9/10
45 seconds of pure punk rock awesomeness! I like the Greatest Hits version better, though.

Monosyllabic Girl - 7/10
A very fun song to listen to, though not one of their best.

180 Degrees 10/10
This is my favorite NOFX song. I love the way it's structured. It goes from a hardcore punk sound, to a nice ska sound, to a great pop-punk sound. Plus, it's a great sing-along track.

All His Suits Are Torn - 6/10
It kinda bores me, but it's not a bad song.

All Outta Angst - 10/10
This was my other favorite on the compilation. I love ska music, so I loved this song.

I'm Telling Tim - 8/10
Awesome song, but who the hell is Tim?

Champs Elysees - 4/10
Really catchy guitar, but I can't understand french.

Dad's Bad News - 9/10
Love the bass at the beginning song. Plus, it has interesting lyrics.

Kill Rock Stars - 9/10
Speedy, catchy, sorta funny song. Most NOFX fans'll probably dig this.

Eat The Meek - 10/10
Amazing song! Very different from most of the NOFX stuff I've heard, but that's what makes it so great. Plus, this is lyrically one of their best.

The Desparation's Gone - 10/10
Wow. . . that's all I can say. Wow. Another one that's lyrically great.

Flossing A Dead Horse - 8/10
Pretty good instrumental! But, if they do more stuff like this, then I would really like to hear a less simple one.

Quart in Session - 9/10
Funny song about how being sober sucks.

Falling In Love - 9/10
This is a pretty good closing track. Very catchy. It gets stuck in my head pretty easily.

So, overall, this isn't a GREAT album, but it is fun as hell to listen to. Buy it if you're just looking for something to chill out to.
