5.0 out of 5 stars classic, February 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Drunk Enough to Dance (Audio CD)

BFS is another pop-punk band, but dont dismiss them right away. You will be tempted to think all songs sound the same, which is close to the truth, but the lyrics, and the way they are sung makes each song unique. They all have good hooks that push them over the top, making this a solid cd by an exscellent band.

1. I Don't Wanna Rock - not one of the best, it is still kinda catchy though, and shows their good musicianship. 3/5

2. Emily - this isnt very special at first listen, but the verses are delivered well as are the choruses. It takes a few listens. This is their 2nd andmost recent single, and the video rocks, check it out. 5/5

3. Girl All the Bad Guys Want - the first single, great tune, great instruments, probably the first one that you get into. the first listen should capture you. 5/5

4. On and On (About You) - kinda cool, but doesnt compare to the better ones. the chorus can be kinda boring. in the end the singer sings in spanish and does it well. 3/5

5. Surf Colorado - again your basic punk-pop, though it is still kinda catchy there are way better tunes. you will probably skip this one over, but oh well. 2/5.

6. Life After Lisa - what a great song, the second one i really got into. such great lyrics, and the chorus will pull u in. 5/5

7. Where to Begin - this is the only song that is really meant to be a ballad but it still is punky and poppy. i dont like it as much as some others, and 5 minutes is way too long.

8. Last Rock Show - i love this song. only 1:28, but it starts of with a bang, when the singer goes "yeahhhhhhh" in his funny voice and i love that part, it just rocks on form there. 5/5.

9. Self-Centered - catchy and funny lyrics, very good vocal melody. 5/5

10. Hard Way - ehhh ok, what else can i say. 3/5.

11. Out the Window - ok 3/5.

12. Cold Shower Tuesdays - great lyrics sung well. extremily catchy. 4/5

13. Running from Your Dad - so funny, great melodies. i like when he talks about the seethru underwear and porn dvds. listen to the song. 5/5.

14. Scaring Myself - decent. 3/5

15. She's Got a Boyfriend Now - kinda annoying 2/5

16. Greatest Day - the bonus song. kinda catchy though the better songs were earlier in the cd. 3/5

17-27 - silence - not too good, but better than some songs by some other bands.

28. An acoustic version of one of the songs on their debut album which u should get too. very catchy but slow and melodic.

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL BOWL ME DOWN!, August 21, 2002

Strait outta Texas comes the second major lable release from Bowling For soup and it ROCKS! Power-pop,Emo,Pop-punk call it what you will this is just a perfect rock and roll record. This is the first release of all new songs in a long time for the old BFS fans, and it won't dissapoint you. For new listeners you should pick this up and use it as a menu for the dinning you will experince at one of the most entertaining live shows you will ever see! Massive radio air play of the first single "Girl all the bad guys want" may have gotten your taste buds going for this CD and its attention is well deserved. "Girl all the bad guys want" could very well be the best BFS song ever written. However the fun deosnt stop there! The Cd opens with the very catchy "I dont wanna rock" and moves into my favorite on the CD "Emily". This is an amazing song that the boys have been playing live for a year or so and it sounds great on record. Another strong point would be "Life without Lisa" which is yet another song about the girl that got away and as BFS would put it, "....its not so bad at all". Love lost is the main theme on this record as it has been on past ones. The differnce is they seem to be fine with there lack of achievment in the love department. They have taken a subject that is supposed to be a drag and turned it into sit-com! Songs like "The hard way", "Surf Colorado" and "She's got a Boyfreind" all deal with this subject. The funny lines just keep coming and the music just keeps rocking from start too oops...... not the finish. The last song or "Bonus Track" is an acoustic version of the old BFS hit "Belgium". You should pick up any other BFS CD to hear "Belgium" as it was written, this song is now on every single BFS record to date. This CD is just slap your momma rockin and laugh out loud funny! BUY IT! You dont want to be the only one in the pit who deosnt know the lyrics at the show, do you?

What a tasty surprise this turned out to be! I sampled it at a Tower listening station, and took a chance. Upbeat, punky pop, with a generous helping of self-deprecating humor and wit, and you have a combination that can't go un-noticed for too long...
Get ahead of the wave and pick this up...if you at all like "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" (the first single), this is a safe purchase.
For those of you out there with convertibles, this is PERFECT top-down, crank-it-up type of pop rock. It'll just sound better that way...
It's nice to find a new record that you want to go back and listen to songs right away. If you like either Blink 182 or BNL, I'm pretty sure you'll like this. If you like BOTH of them, this is a MUST for ya!
