Album Reviews

Following their antics in countries that are not so punkrock as they are (see Backstage Passport DVD), NOFX is back with a new album. Shocking? Hardly… it’s fast, it’s melodic, it’s funny and it has one or two ska songs.

NOFX is for punkrock what the Rolling Stones are for rock n roll… they keep doing the same thing over and over again and keep getting away with it, simply because they are so damn good at it. “Coaster” tackles a variety of subjects ranging from creeping out half of Tegan & Sara over alcoholism to the death of Fat Mike’s parents in “My Orphan Year” which just so happens to be one of their best songs ever.

Oh yeah, if you wanna buy this on vinyl, don’t look for “Coaster” but for “Frisbee”! Ahhhh, they still manage to crack me up!
