Biography

2000 is (not) the year of NOFX! But don't listen to the hype; listen to the record. Pump Up The Valuum is more clever, more irreverent and more crude than NOFX has ever been: and hot on the heels of the unprecedented The Decline, an amazing 18 minute punk-a-thon, NOFX come slamming back with 14 instant classics (in about 32 minutes).

Pump Up The Valuum combines some of NOFX's most outrageous (and… Read more in Amazon's NOFX Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Punk with ambition? Go figure., November 23, 1999
This review is from: DECLINE EP (Audio CD)
So the e.p. is out, and those of us who have actually heard it now know the truth:

1. No ska. 2. No humor, except of the very very dark variety. 3. Only one song.

But that one song-- all eighteen minutes of it-- is a doozy. It has peaks and valleys, climaxes and resolutions and codas. It's a longform composition in punk, "The Grand Wazoo" for skaters. It's ambitious and political, and above all, very good.

Amazingly, even though NOFX seems have gone all prog-rock on us with the concept, the execution is still true to their style. It's a testament to the abilities of the group that eighteen continuous minutes of punk, with no sing-song choruses, doesn't bore the listener. On the contrary: it's one of their best recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, December 10, 2005
This review is from: The Decline (Audio CD)
This song is one of the best songs i have ever heard. An 18 minute long song with no chorus, and it doesnt drag on! It sounds impossible doesnt it? well it isnt. This song has everything. It has mostly punk but it slows down, has a part that is sorta funk sounding, and it has a hint of ska. they even throw in a trombone for a part in there. This is defenitely the best NOFX song ever wrote. Its almost the best punk song ever wrote too. You should defenitely buy this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best NOFX song ever!, December 6, 1999
By 
This review is from: DECLINE EP (Audio CD)
This CD is not just for punk fans but everyone. It only has one 18 minute song but The Decline is by far the best NOFX song ever written. It has really deep, powerful lyrics. The first 5 or 6 minutes is typical NOFX style punk but from then on it changes in many great ways. There is this real cool part with a horn. All in all this CD is great I recommend this CD to anyone out there.
