5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing To Be Sorry For!, January 26, 2010

Bowling For Soup have nothing to apologize for. If anything, they have lots to brag about. I have enjoyed their music since I first heard them 10 years ago. They began as a local band in the Dallas/Fort Worth "Metroplex" where I grew up, and they managed to pry open ClearChannel's iron fist and get some local radio airplay, and rose to great heights from there. They fill a major void in today's music landscape: decent musicianship, brilliant songwriting, pleasant melodies and a sense of humor rolled into one. They seem to get even better with each album they release, and "Sorry For Partyin' is no exception. "No Hablo Ingles" is a hilarious tune about using a simple Spanish phrase to avoid responsibility and controversy, and "My Wena" is a tongue-in-cheek tune about the male genitalia. But then they deliver "I Gotchoo", which is a brilliant pop song that blends in a little bit of rap and metal in a creative way, and almost echoes the cult classic "so bad it's good" pop tune "Summer Girls" by short-lived boy-band LFO."Hooray For Beer" is exactly what it sounds like. "Me With No You" and "I Don't Wish You Were Dead Anymore" take things to a more serious level (These guys clearly know what troubled relationships are all about). "I Can't stand L.A." is a nice shout-out to their roots (there's one on just about all of their albums). "America (Wake Up Amy)" is one of their more ambitious songs lyrically, personifying the country as a girl...and has a similar concept to some of Green Day's recent, political tunes without resorting to Billie Joe Armstrong's bitterness and hatred. A bonus track called "Belgium Polka" features a remake of the same untitled acoustic bonus track song included on the earlier album "Drunk Enough To Dance", transformed into a weird blend of polka and punk by Denton, TX band Brave Combo. Bowling For Soup only want to entertain and connect with their audience in a personal way, and make them happy. This album succeeds on all counts. If you ever get the chance to see them live, which was my privilege in 2007, don't hesitate. These guys are the real deal.

I completely agree with the other reviewers that say this is right along the typical, established Bowling for Soup path... But somehow they manage to keep it fresh at the same time. This album is quirky and strange - in typical BFS fashion.

If you're a fan, you need this one.
