This is another fine addition to the nofx (what might as well be called a library at this point) collection. Terrific sounding drunken stuttering through 24 songs. If you already love NOFX or know about them, then you already know what you are getting yourself into. The only reason I didn't give this record 5 stars was because of the Decline teaser encore at the end. The Decline is such an epic song that they should have either put the entire thing on or not even bothered to tease us with it at all. I feel like I just got married, carried my bride into the hotel suite, only to have her pull my pants down, look at my junk and then laugh in my face saying "you're never going to have sex again...ever" as she goes to sleep.

I thought this was a great live album, I'm a diehard NOFX fan, but still, the recording quality is spot on, the songs are all new (compared to "I Heard They Suck...) and so what about the Decline Teaser! Did you really think they would play the whole thing live? Besides, if you caught one of the shows from this tour (I did, whoo hoo!!) you would know that's all they played of the Decline anyway... It's NOFX, love em' or sorta love em', it's NOFX... Now how about a live DVD already!!!

What's with all the whining about The Decline tease?? This album holds together very well in my opinion. Some of their best stuff, and gratefully not all their "hits." This album actually made me like a few of songs I didn't care too much about before, like "I, Melvin", but especially "Eat the Meek."

This is proof that NOFX is one of the best around, and the two guest appearences on Lori Myers and I, Melvin and Hefe's trombone and trumpet playing never sounded so decent on a recording. Good span of songs from various albums.

Overall, I think some people don't give NOFX enough credit, even their own fans! Who the hell are you to expect things from them? The reason they've been so great and are still getting better is because they've done whatever they want. I'll take 3 minutes of The Decline....

Awesome album and even better on the classic sound of a state of the art record player.

NOFX may think they've gotten worse but in my opinion, they are as good as always on this live recording. And on cassette. And on my dad's old 8 Track player. And on LP. And headlining a concert. And on the Warped Tour. 'Nuf said....

i've always loved "i heard they suck live" and this is truely the sequel to that album. the patter is just as funny as their original album and true to form, the recording quality is top notch.

another point i have made about this album to people is that the first live record borrowed very heavily from "punk in drublic" and this sequel seems to have finished off the rest of the songlist. and i don't mind one, bit.

This live album is definitly worth picking up! Anyone who's ever seen Nofx live, it's mandatory to get this! Hey guess what? They've actually gotten worse live! And I couldn't be happier!

This one's for the fans. Don't buy this one if you haven't heard most of the other stuff already. Semi-sloppy drunk fun with a lot of crowd interaction. It's "A LOT" like a NOFX live show. And much like most NOFX shows they end with a decline teaser... so get over it.

The CD was great. The 8 songs back to back in the middle of the show was pretty cool, and the alternate styles on some songs was nifty to hear. Not only that, but some of Mike's jokes were actually laugh out loud funny. However, like everyone else said, that Decline teaser at the end pissed me off. Luckily I have the Decline, so I wasn't that upset, but still... When you give people 3 minutes of the 18 minute greatest song you've ever written, some people are bound to get mad. I'm thinking that they just messed up really badly at one of the middle sections, so they decided to just play with us a little. It's bound to happen.

Hey Nofx - this wasn't so great an album. it wasn't terrible but the decline tease at the end ruined the entire thing. either play it or don't.
