It is a weird album for a band like them and honestly has a couple of really bad songs. Songs that are some of my least fav by them. "Release the Hostages, love story and didi are really bad but it also has ome of my favs like hostages and black and white and kids today. It has no filler just either great or bad songs. I also love drop the world.
This guy is entitled to his opinion, we all are, but I can’t disagree more, NOFX was great when they couldn’t play well, and they are great now, Single Album is great song writing. Nofx has stayed true to punk music and they’ve grown. For the better, in my opinion
Same bro. I don't think this guy lived through this Era. This guys opinion is blah. I'm not subscribing. Like damn, he dissed some of my favorite shit.Meh.
4 real. I grew up when punk was making a comeback and the rave scene was just taking off. Was graduating h.s. in 2001. Loved bad religion, NOFX, rancid, social distortion, screeching weasel, operation ivy ect..I really liked the coaster album
Really wearing dresses and not offending people yeah real punk lol when did punk rock become so safe when fat make decided to hang up the boots for heels.
War on errorism is really good. Some really clever and smart songwriting on there. Never trust a hippy is a solid ep too. Rubbed and White trash is classic but punk in drublic and thanks for all the shoes are the two best. Decline is a masterpiece and possibly one of the best, smartest, and most ambitious things ever done in the punk genre.
# me too. Lol......when l was like 11 or 12 l remeber going to Tape World in the mall and l couldnt believe how many tapes this 1 band had. Lol and then l got hardcore into them but l also love ska but li,e the skatellites and the specials and Slackers. Mephaskaphelies l liked but nothing brings me pleasure anymore. Op ivy , Left over crack changed their name but l forgot what tbey changed it to. B4 the name change my little brothers band played a cpl shows with em b4 tney changed the name. My bro played drums on Abstract Artimus east coast tour in 2018 and then to Spain for a few shows. Art and us grew up together and we were always jammin in the garage. But Art had Major Drive and l just heard him on 92.1 FM here in Mobile Al. Im proud of ABSTRACT ARTIMUS. Hes a great guy and not an egomaniac. My bro drank too much and its sux because hes such a badass drummer but he got fired for being too fucked up when it was time to play. Anyway God Bless You and your Family Everyone.

I think First Ditch Effort is the best NoFX album in the last 13 years. Six Years on Dope, California Drought, Generation Z, Sid & Nancy. Single Album only has like 3 good songs that push NoFX in new ground. Others are rehashed, mediocore. Self Entitled and the double albums are just Mike throwing up his sexual fetishes and rehashing previous sounds. Mike writes every song but more nofx albums have been collaborative then self Entitled forwards
@@bulletprooftiger1879 Melivn also co wrote "Leave it alone", for example. I think there's a fair share of contributions from the other band members. But yeah, Coaster was the last "Middle NOFX" record.
NOFX has been carrying the torch for decades. There is not another band (outside of Clutch) that has done it so good for so long with the same lineup. Frampton gives a tough but relatively fair take on their albums, and this is brave, considering his recent decision to look like a sphinx cat. The omission of the 7 inch of the month club is quite glaring, tho...
Fat mike is like an uncle discovered in 1994 when I was 15.....and now in 2023 is is still one of my favorite uncle ....FOR EVER ❤❤❤ Ps: and all my real uncles are fuckin awsome 🤘🤘🤘🤙❤
How do you make the best song ever written even better? You add a MF symphony orchestra! I love the whole entire NOFX story. They are brilliant and much loved and appreciated.
in bcn mike just said it was their best album, and that who thinks it is punk in drublic are mistaken. never know when mike is talking seriously or joking though so no idea
first ditch effort is actually really good. I think you did yourself a disservice by listening to a huge batch of records for the first time in one day. prob got some ear fatigue
Man you fucked up big time. They're one of the best bands of all time ever period end of story....you'll see in time how great the two albums really are. They're all great albums Every Single one!
Coaster is a great album. Single album is maybe my least favorite but still my favorite band of all time and the only band whose entire discography on a regular basis.
1) You forgot The Longest Line e.p. between Ribbed and White Trash. Only five songs but "Death of John Smith" is a shredder. This was also the first release with El Hefe in the band. 2) I could be wrong, but the Punk in Drublic festival was launched out of a joint venture with the band when the licensed a beer called Punk in Drublic. Again, I could be wrong on this. 3) NOFX's decline was because Mike clearly got bored with being in a well known punk band. He's the personality type that is so gifted that he has to create obstacles for himself to see if he can ride the razor's edge of destroying it, just to keep it interesting for himself. So then came the drugs, the cross dressing, the non-NOFX musical ventures, etc. I personally became less of a fan watching the second installment of "Backstage Passport". He was this brilliant guy who turned into the obnoxious guy at the party who is boasting about how many drugs he took. That whole DVD was just Mike trying to score drugs in foreign countries. I still like their old music but I'm not even going to bother seeing them one last time on their final tour.
Really good take! I don't judge him, though. He's always been an openly "flawed" personality that never wanted to be idolized/iconized the way he was...He lost his ways several times an is definitely an edgy character that must be tough to have around. He coulda easily have all those scenes that clearly made him look like an ass edited out of BP2, but he didn't, cuz he's not trying to portrait some polished Tom Delonge son-in-law type. Wait...Am I idolizing him right now?
Fat Mike was my hero as a teenager in the early 2000s. Seeing him now makes me kind of embarrassed that was the case. He's a creepy weirdo. Luckily my love for the music hasnt dwindled.
Fat mike is not a creepy weirdo. He's become a much better human, just compare any old interview with a recent one. You are probably a homophobic douchebag who can't accept Mike outed himself to be queer. His lyrics where always feminist and inclusive to lgbtq. If you can't stand a punk wearing a skirt, the entire genre goes whooosh over your head..
I feel ya. Been a fan a long time, saw them a bunch of times in the 90's...even hung out w/ him and his then wife in the 2000's. I still respect him for so many things but his identity politics/fetish shit have reached obsessive levels. I'm ok w/ that if that's what you wanna do but it's a little disillusioning for me personally.
NOFX got better the more political it got for me. My voice can't reach far, but Fat Mike's voice can. And our vision on subjects are basically the same.
weird. i loved them since the 90s, but when i saw them spewing government propaghanda, they were officially dead to me. having a pool party, but making everyone wear masks? no thanks.
@@fuckcensorship69 I m in the same boat, loved them through the 90s and early 00s. Kind of lost interest because they never really produced much worth listening to since pump up the valium. The politics of the last few years has really hit home to me how many of these punk bands have sold out to the establishment
@@ST19859 i like a few songs on wolves and coaster....but ill never pay to listen to nofx ever again....id rather roll js with dollars than give them a cent
@@ST19859 You two sound like the same right wing dorks who never bothered reading lyrics, that complain about Rage Against the Machine now raging "for the machine". Whoosh!
Maybe I only think that because it came out in my formative years when I was a teen, but I personally disagree with Heavy Petting Zoo having only "2 or 3 good songs". In my opinion that album has maybe 3 songs that don't quite hit my taste, but every single song is at least "good", most are really good, some are among the best that NOFX has ever put on a record.
War on Errorism is probably my favorite NOFX album. Fucking love it from beginning to end. S&M Airlines is pretty raw, but I loved that one back in the day. And I don't get all the hate that Heavy Petting Zoo receives. Not every song is kick ass but overall an awesome album. The Black & White, Freedom Like a Shopping Cart, Philthy Phil, Hobophobic, Release the Hostages are all sweet songs
It's an amazing album and one of my favourite albums out there by anyone. I think a lot of fans choose to dislike it because it's clean recorded and more structured than a usual NOFX album would be, so less punk in some eyes maybe. But to me, those kind of views on music scream out try hards
You’re clearly too young. If you grew up in the scene during the 80s and early 90s you’d know the importance NOFX had for punk music. I’m sorry man but if you say you fell in love with them in 2020, you can’t really get a grasp of the history of the band by just quickly listening to their albums
I absolutely LOVE Heavy Petting Zoo. It has two of my favourite songs ever, Freedom like a shopping cart and Drop the world. Wish they’d played HPZ songs more often, but we’ve had “Radio” for years instead. Even in this farewell tour, still no love for HPZ.
I like all nofx, they changed my life (for better or worse) not my all time favorite punk band, but they definitely hold a shit load of memories when I listen to them
NOFX is like a drug, which I think hits each of us differently based on our expectations and where we're at in life when we hear it. It's actually encouraging when I see people rank my least favorites as their favorites. Especially since sometimes time can change my opinion about certain work. And if we're talking Fat Mike, we ought to lump in all the classic Fat Wreck Chords stuff when we didn't know Mike was actually in the studio helping those bands make those albums, not taking any credit. And just as a dude... Like, over the years, sometimes a quick question for Mike would pop into my head, so I'd pull over to a dumpster, tear off a tiny strip of cardboard, scribble my question on it, put "to Fat Mike", slap a stamp on it, and drop it in a mailbox to Fat Wreck Chords. And without fail, that strip of trash would show right back up in my mailbox, with his answer written in marker over top of my question, still without an envelope (except for once when I demanded Propagandhi stickers). My point is... shit, I forgot!
45 or 46 songs… was a great bridge from pump up and war on errorism. Packed with great tunes! Also, don’t forget their liner notes were always a cool read when cd’s and vinyl were still popular.
I am 0:52 secs in and your video seems like the total opposite of what Finn Mckenty said a day ago. Are you doing this on purpose? I am going to watch the rest now but diss Travis Barker all you want as I agree is a massive egotistical tool but don't diss the legendary Fat Mike.
Heavy Petting Zoo is their most underrated White Trash, SLTFTS, and Decline are their peaks Pump up the Valium is their last listenable album GREAT BAND!
Duder...I usually agree with you but I think we have almost the opposite opinion on their career. Ribbed is amazing. Punk in drublic is better than white trash. War on Errorism is amazing and so is everything up to double album....double album umm....isn't great.
It took me many years to finally go from that person in the pit.. to finding myself standing on the stage and directly behind smelly at Punk In The Park .. uhhh 2021? 22? And to prove that life always comes full circle ... watch out -- I'll be right there front and center pushing you, grabbing your shoulders and singing lyrics in your face. Hard to really know if something this special will come around again. Oh, yeah, I might check out Codefendants too. So, I guess I'll see ya a few times. Thanks Dan!
Nofx has always kicked ass i have liked every album since I started listening to them in 1989 seen them on Epitaph Nationals at LA palladium with Bad Religion, Pennywise and bunch of other Epitaph bands and was at the famous El Ray theater riot with pennywise, guttermouth bad religion and recently seen them down the street from my home at HB Beach for the first punk in drublic show
I remember when that album came out, NOFX fans everywhere were worried b/c we thought they were breaking up due to the album name and the lyrics in a lot of the songs.
And by the way , i dont think your old enough to have experienced the evolution of punkrock and hardcore in the US west coast since the 80´s and there to have a valid and wise opinion on the matter
You have to see them live , or did since I guess they broke up. The band has brought me years of think for your self. Each to your own. Best song to me is leave it alone.
Agreed, but it took me a while as a kid to get into that one. Found myself going back to it a bunch. I was intrigued by it. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they made it intentionally weird and “bad” to keep the major labels and MTV off their back after the success of punk in drublic
It was but here's the thing: It's mostly overshadowed by "fair weather" fans who just want to hear "The Brews". Most real NOFX fans loved Heavy Petting Zoo when it came out and still do to this day.
Nofx is the greatest punk rock band in existence. Their songs are just ok, but if it weren’t for nofx, we wouldn’t have lagwagon, no use, propaghandi, and *maybe* even not rise against. They revitalized bad religion. They produced anti-flags second best album. They kept the dying warped tour alive long past it’s prime. They did a lot. More than any other band.
Not even close to true. “Lagwagon, no use…etc” are shit bands. Warped Tour was good for about 3 years. Vandals and Rancid did way more for 90s punk than NOFX could ever hope to achieve.
Couldnt disagree more, they are an incredibly overrated band with a handful of good tracks that suffer from mediocre musical ability and dumb lyrics. There are a dozen bands on the Fat Wreck label better than them and those bands would have done just fine with a different label.
Did you just listen to every song on the NoFX discography and comment as you went? I don’t know why your are reviewing NoFX since you are clearly not a fan. Zero of out one stars. Please try and understand the music and the time when it was written to have an understanding of the relevance to each punk rocker NoFX inspired and captivated during their career.
Fat Mike is the best. Best Punk Singer. Best Punk Song Writer. 40 years of great albums. Punk Rock Museum. Codefendants. Has written TONS of songs for others. Owns his own label, where he put out the likes of Strung Out, NUFAN, Lagwagon, and oh yeah, POPAGANDHI. Ribbed is where it really started. Double Album is AMAZING. Just came out. You just rant about your opinions in your bedroom. FAT MIKE WINS!!
You forgot the "7 Inch Of The Month" EPs, lots of memorable stuff there. Also, "Self-Entitled" is pretty fucking good, at least 8 really great songs, not to mention other EPs and singles like the 2013 version of "Wore Out The Soles Of My Party Boots", "Straight Outta Massachusetts", etc
Cites ‘murder the government’ from SLaTfAtShoes, singing its praises, then slams the decline for a sudden turn to political. Well done mate. Top thinking.

Most real fans love that album. "What's the matter with kids today" is probably my favorite but I've always had a soft spot for "Love Story".
I like all nofx, they changed my life (for better or worse) not my all time favorite punk band, but they definitely hold a shit load of memories when I listen to them
One of the absolutely best bands live, no matter how many different ways you slice it, absolute legends
Lol his fall is still higher than most musicians ever reach at their highest reach.
He left out Maximum RocknRoll. That album is as raw as Nofx gets.
Ribbed 1 star? that album is a classic!!!
I have a 2 start system. 1 is a good score
Liberal Animation and Ribbed are easily my 2 favorite NOFX albums. They get very little respect.
NOFX is like a drug, which I think hits each of us differently based on our expectations and where we're at in life when we hear it.
It's actually encouraging when I see people rank my least favorites as their favorites. Especially since sometimes time can change my opinion about certain work.
And if we're talking Fat Mike, we ought to lump in all the classic Fat Wreck Chords stuff when we didn't know Mike was actually in the studio helping those bands make those albums, not taking any credit.
And just as a dude... Like, over the years, sometimes a quick question for Mike would pop into my head, so I'd pull over to a dumpster, tear off a tiny strip of cardboard, scribble my question on it, put "to Fat Mike", slap a stamp on it, and drop it in a mailbox to Fat Wreck Chords. And without fail, that strip of trash would show right back up in my mailbox, with his answer written in marker over top of my question, still without an envelope (except for once when I demanded Propagandhi stickers).
My point is... shit, I forgot!
for a 12 year old you have a lot of opinions
gooooooood one
Wtf you talking about? NoFX is still one best "sold out" bands there! Fat Mike has done much more for punk rock than most of bands nowdays.
Great, I just discovered that I'm a fan of decadence, because "the worst" are simply the records I listen to the most.
45 or 46 songs… was a great bridge from pump up and war on errorism. Packed with great tunes! Also, don’t forget their liner notes were always a cool read when cd’s and vinyl were still popular.
Couldn't agree more.
I am 0:52 secs in and your video seems like the total opposite of what Finn Mckenty said a day ago. Are you doing this on purpose? I am going to watch the rest now but diss Travis Barker all you want as I agree is a massive egotistical tool but don't diss the legendary Fat Mike.
Word.
@@jeradmealy6081 To your moms
This kids not gonna make it. Dissing Finn for clicks will work for a minute, but listening to him for too long will make anyones ears bleed . I'm out
@@craigsmith3741 I'll take Dan screaming 10x over Lil Finneas red bill blowhard bullshit
Heavy Petting Zoo is their most underrated
White Trash, SLTFTS, and Decline are their peaks
Pump up the Valium is their last listenable album
GREAT BAND!
Good to see you never fell. Then again, you never rose, so...
Duder...I usually agree with you but I think we have almost the opposite opinion on their career. Ribbed is amazing. Punk in drublic is better than white trash. War on Errorism is amazing and so is everything up to double album....double album umm....isn't great.
War on errorism is my favorite album by them
It took me many years to finally go from that person in the pit.. to finding myself standing on the stage and directly behind smelly at Punk In The Park .. uhhh 2021? 22? And to prove that life always comes full circle ... watch out -- I'll be right there front and center pushing you, grabbing your shoulders and singing lyrics in your face. Hard to really know if something this special will come around again. Oh, yeah, I might check out Codefendants too. So, I guess I'll see ya a few times. Thanks Dan!
it’s 2023 and you still think fossil fuel is dead dinosaurs?
Nofx has always kicked ass i have liked every album since I started listening to them in 1989 seen them on Epitaph Nationals at LA palladium with Bad Religion, Pennywise and bunch of other Epitaph bands and was at the famous El Ray theater riot with pennywise, guttermouth bad religion and recently seen them down the street from my home at HB Beach for the first punk in drublic show
The follow up to So Long and thanks for all the Shoes should have been called “Hello and thanks for all the Socks.”
I remember when that album came out, NOFX fans everywhere were worried b/c we thought they were breaking up due to the album name and the lyrics in a lot of the songs.
Green corn is epic
Heavy letting zoo is much better than it gets credit for
NOFX are still amazing and Cokie The Clown is fantastic
Ok
I LOVE WAR ON ERRORISM AND WOLVES IN WOLVES CLOTHING IS MY FAVE NOFX RECORD, FIRST DITCH EFFORT IS ALSO GREAT
What's your band sound like bud?
And by the way , i dont think your old enough to have experienced the evolution of punkrock and hardcore in the US west coast since the 80´s and there to have a valid and wise opinion on the matter
O got it. Thanks
You have to see them live , or did since I guess they broke up. The band has brought me years of think for your self. Each to your own. Best song to me is leave it alone.
Heavy Petting Zoo is super underrated.
Me and homeboy dropped acid and listened to the decline and saw fat mike at the bottom of a well in the floor during the serotonins gone part.
Lies
dude heavy petting zoo is soooo good
Agreed, but it took me a while as a kid to get into that one. Found myself going back to it a bunch. I was intrigued by it. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they made it intentionally weird and “bad” to keep the major labels and MTV off their back after the success of punk in drublic
5:52 this album RULES
Heavily petting zoo/ eating lamb is easily Mikes best writing, it's a shame it was so overshadowed by punk in drublic.
To me, "heavy petting zoo" is much better than "punk in drublic"
It was but here's the thing: It's mostly overshadowed by "fair weather" fans who just want to hear "The Brews". Most real NOFX fans loved Heavy Petting Zoo when it came out and still do to this day.
Nofx is the greatest punk rock band in existence. Their songs are just ok, but if it weren’t for nofx, we wouldn’t have lagwagon, no use, propaghandi, and *maybe* even not rise against. They revitalized bad religion. They produced anti-flags second best album. They kept the dying warped tour alive long past it’s prime. They did a lot. More than any other band.
Not even close to true. “Lagwagon, no use…etc” are shit bands. Warped Tour was good for about 3 years. Vandals and Rancid did way more for 90s punk than NOFX could ever hope to achieve.
Couldnt disagree more, they are an incredibly overrated band with a handful of good tracks that suffer from mediocre musical ability and dumb lyrics. There are a dozen bands on the Fat Wreck label better than them and those bands would have done just fine with a different label.
@@jacknone1564 Lagwagon, nufan shit bands? Lol you're a clown
not a big fan of anything after coaster but dude, war on errorism is fucking bad ass. the sound is perfect for one thing.
Did you just listen to every song on the NoFX discography and comment as you went? I don’t know why your are reviewing NoFX since you are clearly not a fan. Zero of out one stars. Please try and understand the music and the time when it was written to have an understanding of the relevance to each punk rocker NoFX inspired and captivated during their career.
Touch grass buddy
NOFX reviewed by a guy who doesn't actually like NOFX, but thinks he does.
THIS.
White Trash and Punk in Drublic top 2 hands down.
Dan, you need to listen to listen to heavy petting zoo again. Hot dog in a hallway is the greatest love song ever written.
its like feeding a tic tac to a whale
Whit Trash, So long and Punk in Drublic are all iconic
Fat Mike is the best. Best Punk Singer. Best Punk Song Writer. 40 years of great albums. Punk Rock Museum. Codefendants. Has written TONS of songs for others. Owns his own label, where he put out the likes of Strung Out, NUFAN, Lagwagon, and oh yeah, POPAGANDHI. Ribbed is where it really started. Double Album is AMAZING. Just came out. You just rant about your opinions in your bedroom. FAT MIKE WINS!!
S&M airlines was legendary. Ill never fly it again
You forgot the "7 Inch Of The Month" EPs, lots of memorable stuff there. Also, "Self-Entitled" is pretty fucking good, at least 8 really great songs, not to mention other EPs and singles like the 2013 version of "Wore Out The Soles Of My Party Boots", "Straight Outta Massachusetts", etc
Die in War on Errorism? One of the best songs of all albums is The separation of Church and Skate.
This guy is clueless. NOFX has put out their best albums at the end of their career. I don’t even listen to their old albums anymore.
But they are playing to Giant Outdoor stadiums right now in Europe
No review of Longest Line or NOFX Live?
Have you ever seen The Decline live?
Cites ‘murder the government’ from SLaTfAtShoes, singing its praises, then slams the decline for a sudden turn to political. Well done mate. Top thinking.
Heavy petting zoo is amazing imo
Liberal Animation is better
What is your wrestling channel called?
It's gone unfortunately
Fat Mike is the goat
He made fun of the victims of the Vegas shooting. Punching down at the women and children who were executed by a madman is not punk.
...executed by "the government.
Rise and fall? C'mon guys. He's rich and happy.
I didn't know idubbbz was a NOFX fan!
