    Nothing groundbreaking, but sure to keep fans of the band happy.

    It's not markedly different, better, or worse than previous BFS albums, with the main distinguishing factor being that there's nothing with a killer hook along the lines of "1985," but for the legions of faithful fans, more of the same isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Friends Chicks Guitars does prove that BFS can still write stonking rock 'n' roll, frat-party anthems, but generally the band make a bigger impact here when they're taking themselves more seriously. [23 Apr 2011, p.52]

    I was expecting a record full of opportunities to hang BFS out to dry, but there aren't any obvious faux-pas. Fishin' for Woos is solid because when a band is together this long they know what they're doing.

    Fishin' For Woos, the surprising 11th studio album from the band, lacks just about everything a record needs to be taken seriously.
