Normally, i think that all reviews on music are just excuses for people to talk crap about a band or to try and put them up to super human levels. But this is a special kind of review, I'm not going to use any fancy words to try and describe some special note the guitarist may have used, or point out any stupid meaningless crap like "the drum was off beat in the middle of the song!!!!". This review is just something i wrote out that may or may not be interesting to read to a fan of NOFX or just punk rock in general.

 NOFX Is known for being an unpredictable yet stereotypical punk band at the same time, they dont make albums or play at shows to entertain the audience, and they have expressed that many times in a lot of their songs. They simply play because they like to and they are damn good at it despite what many of the band members may think. Ive listened to nearly all of NOFX's stuff from thier wierd yet funny songs such as "She's Nubs" or "My heart is Yearning" to their political and some-what intellegent take of religion like "Franco Un-American" or "Leaving Jesus Land" and everything inbetween, this album is no exception. With songs like "Blasphemy (a victimless crime)" or "Best God in Show", they are sure to offend some thiests out there, then songs such as "We Called it America" stay true to the politics practiced in NOFX. This album has all of the stuff they are famous for, ska, punk and just sheer awesomeness. Some might say that this album isnt very different from any of their other material, and those people may be right, but in this case that isnt a bad thing. While it may be similar to their older stuff they still stay true to their unique sound that has taken them over 20 years to perfect while still keeping their important lessons that they have adopted in the past 10 years.


Track List:
01. "We Called it America"
02. "The Quitter"
03. "First Call"
04. "My Orphan Year"
05. "Blasphemy (A Victimless Crime)"
06. "Creeping Out Sarah"
07. "Eddie, Bruce and Paul"
08. "Best God in Show"
09. "Suits and Ladders"
10. "The Agony of Victory"
11. "I Am An Alcoholic"
12. "One Million Coasters"

 The album starts out with a fast paced song about how America has lost its glory over the years, it has a pretty homely tey fast melody to it,. The second song is pretty similar only with a diferent tune and message behind it, only the melody behind this song seems like something you can sing along to. The album then changes into some pretty good punk songs that are some-what melodic compaired to the first two. Keeping true to NOFX tradition, there is a slow paced ska song in the middle of the album that kind of calms you down a little until it turns back into angry fast paced punk again.

Highlights:
"We Called it America"
"The Quitter"
"Blasphemy (A Victimless Crime)"
"Creeping out Sarah"
"Best God in Show"
"I Am An Alcoholic"

A pretty good album despite its simularities to older albums and while it might not stand up to some of their classics like "Punk in Drublic" or "So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes", it still holds its own. Very highly recommended to anyone who likes any form of punk rock, But will this be the album to revive all the shit punk music that has been coming out lately? No. But is it a kick ass punk album? yes.
