I've never felt the need to write an online review for a CD till I picked up this Album. It completely blew away my expectations. Mostly its the energy and intensity that NoFX somehow captured onto this disc that made me want to floor the gas pedal and do 110 mph down my street. This is a must have for any punk. Pick it up and I guarantee from beginning to end you will not be disappointed.

This CD would be perfect if it didn't have the songs "Buggley Eyes", and "Straight Edge"(a cover of a Minor Threat song, cool punk band) The other songs are all great. This is the first NOFX CD with El Hefe, and you can deffinately here a difference in how the music sounds, it's so much better. It has some nice ska songs like Johny Appleseed, and some great punk songs like Stickin In My Eye. Here's how I would grade every song:

(1)Soul Doubt: A...(2)Stickin In My Eye:A...(3)Bob:A...(4)You're Bleeding:B...(5)Straight Edge:C...(6)Liza And Louise:A...(7) The Bag:A...(8)PPTSOTR:A...(9)Warm:A...(10)I Wanna Be Your Baby:A...(11)Johny Appleseed:A...(12)She's Gone:A....(13)Buggley Eyes:C

Great CD!!! GO BUY IT!!!

This was the frist NOFX album I heard and I still love it just as much today. The songs are funny, clever upbeat, exciting and really showcase NOFX's talent. If you like punk or pop-punk than this is definately a must have album for your collection.

This cd is a great example of how Nofx is able to write good songs with good lyrics and instramentals. It is amazingly good with great songs such as Bob, Stickin' In My Eye, Soul Doubt and Please Play This Song On The Radio. All the other songs are good as well but those are the best. This is my favorite cd of Nofx and I recomend it to you.

This is definately one of NOFX's best. 100% percent punk with mixed in with some of the best ska i've ever heard. For NOFX fans this is a must.

NOFX is the punk band I grew up with. Give the old time punkers The Clash and Sex Pistols and even Minor Threat but me, I'll take NOFX any ol' day of the week. This is a surge in melodic punk, that spins around and around and flows in you. This is one of those rare albums, especially in this particular genre, where everything just seems to naturally gel together and breathe as a whole. It just makes sense. This guys are the wise-asses we'd all like to be, and their wit is expressed side by side with their talent, and their exploration of pain, suffering, gluttony, joy and ignorance on not just this album but every other one is a treat to any listener. To handle the sound is to rush into a world we all know too well, but Fat Mike and co. pull the humor from the truth, and the truth from the humor, and the over all human message from all of it. These guys disprove whoever thinks that punk is immature, because they take their own immaturity and make it into concious, balls out, swipes at society. This is heartfelt and honest, as are all of NOFX's recordings. It's great to see a quality band who has in now way succumbed to the big-time or sold out. They keep it real each and every outing. That and "they don't suck live", I saw them play the '98 Warped Tour and even though they sped through like six songs in four minutes, the vibe they put out was amazing, and none of the magic on the record's escaped the performance. Long live NOFX.

Okay, let me start by saying that I am a huge NOFX fan, and I have been for my entire life. I have listened to all of their albums, and I must say, this is one of their best ones (the only one I would have to say I like better is "S/M Airlines"). This a perfect combination if punk, ska, and a good time. It's great, it's funny, and its just all around awesome. Useless Fact: This was the first full length NOFX album El Hefe appeared on (he was on the EP "The Longest Line" before this). Before i get to the song-by-song review of this great punk rock treasure, I need to get some of this out of the way. Some retard posted something like "this isn't punk, get simple plan and good charlotte". shows how much you know kiddie (yeah, i'm older, i just don't have an amazon username). this is REAL punk! good charlotte are sellouts, poseurs, and they never WERE punk! they're music represents NOTHING that punk is, and it doesnt have the punk FEEL or SOUND. yeah. nofx are pretty big, but they are NOT sellouts, OR posuers, and yeah, there are more underground hardcore-er bands that might be considered "more punk", but this is real f*****g punk s**t. Anyway, here is the song-by-song review of this great piece of punk.

1. Soul Doubt: the first song on the album, and what a first song! this song (like every single one on the album) is a great song! awesome instruments (you really come to EXPECT that from nofx), and fat mike's catchy, great lyrics ("i stick my head out of the window when it's closed, instead of air i get glass stuck into my head"). 5/5

2. Stickin In My Eye: ah, stickin' in my eye. great song, all the way through. AMAZING basswork (fat mike truly has to be one of, if not, THE greatest bassist ever!), great guitar, great lyrics, everything. this one had a video that showed them playing at Gilman's. Cool song! 5/5

3. Bob: the other song with a video! this one (as talked about in the song) shows a drunk with suspenders riding a scooter! This song is awesome. Many of the elements that have today defined NOFX. good bass, good guitar, good drums, and el hefe's signature ska-trumpet playing! Great song! 5/5


4. You're Bleeding: this is another great one (i think we have established about every song on here is). nothing TOO special, but still a great song, that sounds cool, and deserves 5 stars! 5/5

5. Straight Edge: lemme clear the air. i read a couple reviews that said "straight edge is so stupid" and stuff like that. THIS SONG IS A F****** JOKE!!!!! yeah, alot of these kiddies don't know that, becuase they don't know minor threat. straight edge, in its original, 45 second, fast, hardcore form, was the first single released by a, well, straight edge hardcore band from DC named Minor Threat in the early 80's. they sing a joke version of it because they like drugs, sex, and booze!!!(being straight edge is no drugs, no booze, no casual sex) Anyway, a good funny el hefe novelty. cool bluesy guitar, cool trumpet, hilarious! 5/5

6. Liza And Louise this is another one showing the wit and range of fat mike's lyrics. to lay it out: this song is about lesbian sex. yeah, snicker all you want kiddies, we're not all homophobes. yeah, that don't mean i am one, but i have no problem with them, and fat mike just seems to have a liking for lesbians (see also "louise" on the louise and liza single, and the not as good remake on the 2000 lp pump up the valuum) 5/5

7. The Bag: a pretty cool one. not as great as others, but still cool. 5/5

8. Please Play This Song On The Radio: okay, kiddies, do you know what to say when i count to three? 1-2-3: "WHAT AN A**HOLE!!!!!!" greatest yell/chant ever! this song rules! its about how corporate rock and the radio stations cant play anything that has swears in it or, to quote the song, "the fcc's gonna take a **** right on your head!" great message, great lyrics, great ******* song! "almost every- line is sung in- time, and almost every verse ends in a rim" 5/5

9. Warm: the only one i skip when i listen to this cd, not that great, but not at all bad. 4/5

10. I Wanna Be Your Baby: this is a great, catchy, harder one! cool guitar, great vox! 5/5

11. Johnny Appleseed: this is another funny hefe novelty, about, well, johnny appleseed! funny! 5/5

12. She's Gone: okay, here it is! she's gone! this is my favorite song on the album, and one of my favorite nofx songs of all time! this is like the climax of the album! it rules! great bass, great guitar, great drums, great vox, great lyrics, great everything! "she's gone, and its NOT gonna be alright! not for me, she's gone, and its NOT gonna be alright! not for me, she's gone"
10/5

13. Buggley Eyes: ahh, alls well that ends well. heres where the climax falls and you get a nice funny, short, soft little ditty. another one of nofx's classic funnies. "did you ever go to sleep with bo derek, and wake up with bo didley? you got so loaded, you thought that she, was the most beautiful girl you ever did see" self explanitory. 5/5

so, there you have it! one of the greatest works of our time! deffinately buy it!

This is a solid and fast-paced collection. "The Bag" and "She's Gone" are best on the cd. I think "Punk in Drublic" cd is a better one to have, but this is one I listen to every few weeks and enjoy. NOFX seems to have their own sound and "White Trash..." seems to represent this in every cut.

and that's exactly what they did. too bad because they used to be good, and this album is one of the best nofx cd's out there. it has a lot of classics on it: stickin in my eye, bob, liza and louise, johnny appleseed. and also some really great songs that you might not have heard: you're bleeding, she's gone, and soul doubt. this is really the last album nofx recorded before they started turning pretty poppy. punk in drublic and so long are both still good, but don't buy anything after that. pump up the valuum might be worth having but definently not worth buying, so get it from a friend or something. but if you want to hear classic old-school nofx, then get this album. and if you like it, then get s&m airlines and be really rocked the [...] out.
