Let's Do It for Johnny is pure ear candy. I love every song on this disc. Granted, I am not a long time fan. I do not have the first album and don't know about repeat songs, etc. The production is rad. The sound is big. The lyrics are exactly what I wanted out of this pure pop punk band. Unrequited love, odd situations, life in general and a screamin' cover of a Bryan Adams tune. What more could I want? Nothing. I would recommend this CD highly to anyone at all into the radio sounding pop punk scene. Even for those not in that scene, or deathly against it, the lyrics carry some weight. A worthwhile investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great second album, May 17, 2000

I've seen Bowling for Soup in concert 3 times. Each concert is better than the last. This band puts on a great show and really gets the crowd into it. This album is one of the best I have heard from a band that hasn't been around for a while. Every song grows on you till you can sing along with it. I think Bowling for Soup will be a big band because they sound alot like Blink 182 and the other bands that are making their way up the charts but they have a great sound and incredable lyrics. What else can you say about a band whose lyrics say "I sent her flowers and some candy, she opend them up and said your trying to make me fat". By the way Bowling for Soup is playing at my High School, Fossil Ridge so I have the greatest school for a little while.

3.0 out of 5 stars How about some new songs!?, September 18, 2000

BFS is a very talented band. They write catchy, undeniable pop-punk songs that instantly stick in your head. I've seen them live and their shows are among the most entertaining I've ever seen. I've met the guys and they are gracious, fun, and genuinely appreciative of their fan's support. However, I was upset at the unoriginal selection of songs on "Let's Do it for Johnny". 5 of the first seven songs have been on one of their two previous albums, and Belgium now appears on all three! Maybe the people at Jive told them what to put on the album, but their songs are so much fun to listen to that I wish there were more new ones. I hope they don't get lost in the shuffle with the tons of other pop punk bands out there that all sound the same. (Blink 182, SR71, Riddlin' Kids, Green Day, etc.) They deserve recognition on a national scale.
