   El Hefe has really outdone himself on this album, and Mike's songwriting is as diverse and tight as ever. Not an instant classic, but compared to 99% of the other music you could listen to this is absolutely amazing stuff. It's impossible to compare to other NOFX albums at this point since it's still new to me, but my first impression is very positive. Of course it sounds a lot like their older stuff -- but it's the sound that they created themselves! If they drastically changed their style (a la Green Day) it would be a huge disappointment to me, and I've been a fan since the mid-90's.… Expand

   Perhaps a bit rushed, or perhaps there is just nothing left to sing about, the latest offering from this punk rock elite outfit is neither their best or worst record to date. Unfortunately this is more of a straight up rock record than their forays into assorted roots of music and their brash brand of humor is fairly absent from this record with the exception of their single "Creeping Out Sara" which is a short and very humorous piece about creeping out Sara (or was it Tegan?) from the canadian folk duo Tegan & Sara once night backstage at a show. If you were to introduce someone to NOFX's music, this would probably be more towards the bottom of the list of what they should listen to first, but like most NOFX records, it's not a certain charm to it and they really can't write a bad record (or even a bad song for that matter). Their last record was a stellar effort, but this one doesn't seem to match. Perhaps age has caught up with them or they've settled a bit on their haunces when it comes to the songwriting process. All in all, any fan of NOFX will enjoy this record, but it will only temporary hold them over until the next effort and if you're a first time listener, please give their earlier work a spin and then consider coming back.… Expand

   This is a pretty cool album, its full of the humour that NOFX are famous for, but it also gets very personal on songs like orphan year, Im a huge fan of the band and i love it, but for people just wanting to get in to NOFX i would recommend war on errorism or white trash two heebs and a bean. still a great little album though… Expand
