Alternative PressOct 10, 2016Really, punk doesn't get much better than this. [Nov 2016, p.90]
-
Kerrang!Oct 7, 2016This is NOFX at their leanest, and it absolutely rips. [8 Oct 2016, p.52]
-
Oct 14, 2016The result is a record much darker in tone than previous outings, yet still harbours the sardonic wit that endeared us to them all those years ago
-
Oct 7, 2016While some of these songs may not be up to the standard of their world-beating best, it’s clear they’re still having a lot of fun.
-
Nov 1, 2016Clearly this is something the band, and Mike in particular, feel passionate about, but “I’m so Sorry Tony” would’ve been a much better finish to the album. Still, there’s enough interesting and flat out good songwriting going on here to make First Ditch Effort worth a recommendation.
-
Oct 7, 2016First Ditch Effort isn't a radical step forward for NOFX--they're still a punk band who smirk more than they shout--but it does successfully take them into a more thoughtful direction, and shows they can mature just a bit and still be themselves.
-
Oct 13, 2016First Ditch Effort doesn't match NOFX's '90s peak, but it rights the ship somewhat, and goes a long way to re-establishing the group as worthy and relevant elder statesmen.
