This cd is so great. I've had it for probably 5 months or more and still love it. All I wanna say is buy this cd before you buy any of their others. If you already have this cd, buy "Leche Con Carne". This cd is a rarity in that all the songs are great and don't get old. I have 258 cds and this one is in the top 5% as far as good albums go. After you have this cd, buy all the Lagwagon cds starting with "Trashed" because they compare well with NUFAN and are probably a little better aside from the fact that this cd ROCKS!

This is a pretty average album from a great band. The CD starts off with two great songs in a row, "Invincible" being my all-time favorite No Use song ever made. The rest kind of go down-hill. I like "Secret", also, but the rest of the album feels like it was made just to put out an album. It all blends together and sounds like one big, three-chord song. The lyrics are kind of weak and the songs are either too short with too little, or too long and make you get tired of them and change them like old, dirty undies. Three stars for an okay album. Good to get if you're big on No Use, otherwise skip it. And if you're thinking of just getting into them, pick up "Leche Con Carne" or "Don't Miss the Train".

This is a pretty good CD. The first 6 songs are excellent, "Invincible" being my favorite No Use song ever written, produced, and published. After that it kind of gets old. "On the Outside" is another great track. There is a trend in every single No Use album...Can you guess? They say "F*ck" once in every CD, they cover one song on every CD, and they have a girl sing on every CD. Well, maybe they don't cover a song on EVERY CD, but almost. "Leche Con Carne" is their best CD by far, but this one still gets a high score. It's not a bad CD.

this cd is really amazing, all the songs are cool,, and catchy. I bought this cd 2 month ago and i still hear it all day long. Songs like growing down , invincible, secret, are songs that you wiill never get tired of, cause they have a really cool and original rythm,this is what makes nufan songs so cool, their originality. DONT HESITATE IN BUYING THIS CD , CAUSE I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT.

This is NUFAN at their best. Every song on this CD is crisp and catchy. Tony and Jackson are the koolest guitar duo ever. "The Answer Is Still NO" is one of the greatest No Use songs I've ever heard. Bring on "More Betterness"! Please buy this album or face severe depression/punk-rock withdrawal.

"On The Outside" alone is enough reason to buy this CD. It's such an awesome song. Once you hear it, I swear you'll adopt it as your favorite song ever....So f*cking great. GET THIS! (Ahhhhh.....Or tape it off a friend! That's the way to do it!)

On the Outside has to be one of my favorite punk songs I've ever heard. There isn't a song on this CD I don't like. Tony Sly's voice is awesome on this CD, this is my favorite punk CD, it's hardcore punk at its *ucking best!

This album is very good, but doesn't pull it all together as well as Leche Con Carne. It sounds about the same but doesn't have as many outstanding songs.

I really enjoyed this CD, though the last few songs are a bit forgettable. The first four tracks are my favorite, with "Invincible" being one of my Top 100 songs of all time. I also don't fully agree with another reviewers opinions of the "Fields of Athenry" cover. I personally love it, and I would put it up with the Dropkick Murphys latest. Yes, I will allow that a punk version of this song will never sound as good as an Irish tenor version. Still, as wrong as it may be, it was this version of the song that opened up the world of paddy punk to me, including such great bands as the Pogues and the Mahones! My only complaint about this CD are the tracks around the end of the album. I have listened to this CD on a regular basis for several years now, but I don't think I could tell you anything about those three or four tracks. They just aren't that memorable.

Having thought Lagwagon to be the best band in the cosmos i checked out covernotes of a L/W CD and found NUFAN mentioned.
i then bought this CD and quite frankly it is the very best Punk cd that i own (and i own a few!).
Right fom the opening track until the magnificent closing song"Fields of Athenry" it moves at pace but with purpose and with excellent musicianship. There are few bands who could live with this quality, and my advice is buy it NOW--if not sooner (and possibly Leche Con Carne also.
