5.0 out of 5 stars The Longest Line Review by NOFX on the Web!, December 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Longest Line (Audio CD)

The Longest Line introduced the versatile guitar, trumpet, vocal, and lyrical talents of El Hefe - the manic Hispanic. El Hefe replaced Dave Cassilas on lead guitar to round out the NOFX line up (in more ways than one).

El Hefe debuts on this album with the song "Kill All the White Man." It's a very simple and straight forward song about the Mexican minorities! It's pretty hilarious. More serious tracks are on this CD however, such as Remnants and Death of John Smith.

This is definitely one of NOFX's better albums with the only problem being that it's too short. The reason it is so short is that they were in the middle of making White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean and had just finished Ribbed... they also made it to introduce the talents of El Hefe... they were really stoked to have him join the band.

The sound of this album ranges from the fast and furious sound of Remnants to the slower parts of The Death of John Smith and Kill All the White Man. Additional background vocals on this album come from Joey Cape of Lagwagon (which song, I'm not sure)... definitely worth checking out.

Here's what NOFX has to say on this album:

On Life - "Life's too short to just barely exist" - Remnants

On Love - "Don't be fooled by teardrops, they're worth 1,000 lies" - Stranded

Overall, this is a great disc. And... it's cheaper than the other ones too! Go pick it up and play it over and over again! 100% NOFX at it's best!

Rating:9/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best NOFX, even if it's only 5 songs., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Longest Line (Audio CD)

I don't care what anyone says... It's the best album they've done. "The Longest Line" is "The Best Song". They stay true to their roots and are more punk than me.

5.0 out of 5 stars the illustrious El Hefe, October 4, 2005

This review is from: Longest Line (Audio CD)

The Longest Line introduced NOFX's newest member El Hefe. Hefe added great talent to the band with great chops on lead guitar, lead vocals, backing harmonies, and trumpet solos.

This EP contains two songs that could easily fit in any NOFX fan's top ten list: The Death of John Smith and The Longest Line. This EP is a must for any true NOFX fan or anyone in search for a good punk recording. The cover art alone is worth the price.

Furthermore, this EP is the turning point in NOFX's career it is where they developed their characteristic sound that can be found on later full length releases.

Cheers. Enjoy
