4.0 out of 5 stars
Their 2nd best effort, February 4, 2002
This review is from: Big Knockover (Audio CD)
Not as great as Out Of Bounds, but better than No Straight Angles (and IMHO better than their final album, State Of Flow, which puzzles me to this day.) The cream of the crop is basically heard in the first half-dozen or so tracks on the CD. The rest falls into that same-sounding skatepunk that doomed the movement from the very beginning. You might like the latter half of the CD if you are a fan of the genre, but if not the first 6 songs are plenty. Most of the material here is faster & harder than Out Of Bounds, but unfortunately leaves out the melodic aspect which ultimately cripples any long term listening aspirations. The 2nd best CD by a highly underrated (and sadly now defunct) pop-punk band.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Greatest Hardcore Punk of All Time!!!!, August 24, 2004
This review is from: Big Knockover (Audio CD)
I've had this CD for a long time now. Almost 7 years, I guess. This is not your average punk band, this is amazing with capital letters. There are 3 CDs that I think are the best melodic hxc punk and that I'll take their music to my grave. They are:
1) Suffer - Bad Religion
2) Full Circle - Pennywise
3) No Fun At All - Big Knockover!!!!!!
Hell, I'll even show them to my kids and try to influence (nah, just kidding!), when I have them. There are many more good punk CDs you can find from these same artists as well as others (NOFX, Rancid, old Millencolin) but those 3 will live forever in my heart. Even my girlfriend likes them. So go get this CD from this Swedish band that is no more cause they kick @ss.

A whole new approach to punk rock., December 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Big Knockover (Audio CD)
For those of you who are problaby already tired of the same punk rock cliches, this album comes to the rescue. Pure adrenaline filled rock, with an intensive beat, powerful guitars and interesting melodies. Scandinavia finally got its well deserved spot in the otherwise californian infested world of alternative rock n'roll.
