Making fun of Straight Edge is a pretty easy (if unwarranted) thing to do, but Good Clean Fun manage to subvert the stereotype in a way that's not only inoffensive but damn funny too! Everything from the wry and surreal lyrics to the backup-crew vocals that sound like schoolkids just make you laugh at the whole hardcore punk stereotype - but laugh fondly! Veganism, religion, technology and (most of all) punk are parodied just enough to make hardcore fans laugh at themselves without being alientated. Favourites on this album are "I Can't Wait" ('2001, we call it quits the band'll be done...2004, to work, reunion tour!' - how many bands actually do this!), "Beat The Meat" and "You're Only Punk Once" (The shouted sidelines at the end of each line totally change the emphasis of the song). A funny, energetic album that's definitely worth buying - so go on then. Or aren't you harcore enough....?

a lot of people don't like good clean fun because of their lack of seriousness, but, that's what i love about them. they pay homage in their own little way to side by side and gorilla biscuits which gets them plus points. if you're into hardcore pick this up. standout tracks: you're only punk once, 11th commandment, loserdotcom, and on the streets.

first,this record rocks.second,this record is not gorilla biscuits replayed.third,this record gives HC its name in the year 2000.Wear your shorts on,push play on the CD player and start thrashing all round.You'll smile at the end and you'll remember why you fell in love with this music in the first place.

Very good, but not as good as WHO SHARES WINS. The lyrics are still pretty much the same, but songs, like the title song, come off a bit cheesy.
