Why does nobody mention what a grim drummer Erik Sandin is on this album? Those exuberant and snappy single-kick beats and rapid-fire fills are awesome ("My Friends" is a great example). This album and the Doom soundtrack are all that a drummer really needs for inspiration if you ask me.
i personally know doug moody and have all these records hahaha yes records on vinyl and some still in the original cellophane..... classic shit man keep posting this shit PUNKS NOT DEAD YOU POP FAGGOTS!!!!!!!!!!!! PISS OFF!!!
@TheChuck383 you know why the saying "Punk is not dead" is so diffused? because punk is sooo fucking dead... i know is sad but is the truth man, wake up and think about it
@MaoDante83 as long as there are bands that i like that i can go see and people i know that have been doin this shit for thirty years and blood to clean out of my fucking boots punk will never die
@kanoadrian I love this record and they selectively wipe it from their memories. This was their best and only truly non commercial one :P Not to mention the lead singer doesn't sing with that annoying whiny voice he would have from the next album on... Heavy descendants influcne :P
@GrandmasDay32 Do you happen to have the cd Pollywog Stew? If so I would love to buy it from you. In my opinion, this cd has all its influences staked in early Bad Religion, Social Distortion and maybe a few others that are illuding me now. Despite what the gluttony of nofx fanboys on here say I don't think nofx ever made another record as good as this.
Awww I don't support your sellout corporate crap musical tastes? So sorry. But feel free to try and convince me some more with your typical male ignorance. You might just get me to look more than 5 seconds next time at your hopelessly asenine posts. Before I scoff and move on to more compelling textual diarrhea...
If you want to hear good music then Avoid major label records like the plague. There are very few bands in existence who can go from sounding amazing and being as unique and relevant as possible to getting better or even staying on that level when they sign to a major. Most lose everything that made them what they are/were and become just another over produced dumbed down for the masses shell of their former selves. All for that money money. That money money.
Well "punk in drublic" set all new standards for pure suckage and a band milking the cash cow only to sound like something I want to smash with a hammer. I will admit that was a turning point as everything before drublic is actually listenable but not great with the exception of Maximum/Liberal... The funny thing is most reviews on 'drublic' are positive. Just goes to show you, nothing.
@Sean021122 completely false its just a great album and thats why it got good reviews. alot of their early stuff is very difficult to listen to. its stuff like so long and the decline that is there best stuff.
@DanGuitar9 You like pop/punk dumbed down commercial for the masses music. Doesn't mean it remotely represents a band's best output. I said it before, NOFX only put out one great record in its existence. That was 'Maximum RNR'. Liberal animation is 'good'. After that you can enjoy the rest but I flushed the rest from my mind long ago. However maybe you are trying to convince yourself any of that stuff was worth the plastic it was recorded on and not me.
@Sean021122 there newer stuff has great lyrics and a good message. so what if its catchy? that doesnt mean its commercial. they have avoided being commercial in every way possible. they havent released any singles so they arent on the radio, and they dont let mtv play their videos. and as for the dumbed down part, there music and lyrics are actually alot more complex.
@DanGuitar9 Catchy can be defined in many ways. As long as it doesn't sink into the realm of what major labels/tv/media want to sell and shove down the throats of the average imbecile 'fan' catchy can be fine. Unfortunately catchy equates all too much with what is wrong with music because the average listener is a moron who doesn't know what he/she wants and needs others to tell them what's good and what isn't. Not sure where the message behind 'any' NOFX song would be noteworthy.
@ComaSDA Where lies the insecurity? Is it in the definitive tastes I have that don't include commercial dumbed down corporate crap? Or the fact I like what I like period. You like what you like rendering your tastes more reliant on overly poppy and repetitive song structures.
@Sean021122 I'd say the person typing up paragraph upon paragraph on fucking YouTube has some insecurities himself. I never said I was a fan of new NOFX or anything poppy and if I am so what. Do the world a favor and take that rod that's shoved far up your ass out. I didn't even call you insecure, I was replying to the fact that you said someone else was in fact insecure about their liking of NOFX. Relax before you give yourself a heart attack.
@ComaSDA I prefer youthful naivety that shows influences yet stays original and relevant in a loud unpopular way. Music that screams 'I don't fucking care if the idiot masses like this, I'm making it for myself and from my heart". Music you will not find on radio unless of course the station actually pulls his head out of his ass (and his wallet) long enough to realize true independent music is worthy of their time.
But as is the way with so many bands, their earlier material is in a league all its own never to be produced again. Maybe 1 out of every 10 bands comes along and gets rougher and less poppy as they put out more records. Skid Row comes to minds as a good example until they put out 'Thickskin' that is of course lol. They cut their throats when they kicked Seb out and started putting out radio bubblegum. Again nothing new.
@Sean021122 you know theres an old saying, the only reason You havent sold out yet is because no one has offered you enough money yet...we all have a price. Some are just cheaper than others
I don't care e\what the nofx fanboy justifications may be. After this forst record they turned into a stanard pop-punk clone like the million sof others before them. Whether they sold out is up to the listener. But musically and vocally I can certainly hear a definite downgrade in quality from "maximum r'n'r'" to whatever came after it. I don't like anything they did after 'Liberal Animation', it is basically never going to make it into my boombox.
Why the lead singer would trade his punky on key vocals on this record for all the whiny sell out crap (musically/vocally) they did from the next album on is beyond me. They actually should have put a little sticker on every release after this that said "So what if we are no longer on a label that showed us the way and now we sold our souls/musical talent for a chance to become the next flavor of the month pop/punk band. "
When money wasn't important, just perpetrating your musical vision on the masses was enough and if they don't buy it then too bad. It comes from the heart. Shows your influences and tells the listener to fucking like this and stop degrading yourself with all the overproduced talentless corporate crap out there.
This is early bad religion/social distortion infused PUNK. Everything they did after this was indeed not worth the coaster they went on. It is truly funny how the releases that get the least praise from bands (usually early ones) and least respect from bandwagon fans are the ones that defined the bands and took their music where they would never go again.
if you read the bands bio then you'll see that nagative fx were around at the time they were starting out and they just kinda stole the name cos they thought it was cool
i cant believe someone else has this album, were on mystic? i think thats what fat mike's speech bubble is saying, true NOFX fan ,SIX PACK GIRLS!!!!! southampton uk pat
