I wasn’t planning on doing a review of this disc. It is tracks that didn’t make the first cut of Coaster. It is decent stuff. It totally merits a mention, so … mention. The important part is the picture of Cokie the Clown, so enjoy. Oh, and the acoustic version of “My Orphan Year”, that is some sad stuff man. So have a beer, shed a tear. For the superist of fans, ladies and gentlemen, Cokie the Clown. Oh and on and non-review related note, Fat Mike had the greatist mugging in Buenos Aires. I’m happy to report that no one was harmed and only an iPhone was stolen. Not bad given the possibilites.

I don’t know what to say except that perhaps the title of this new NOFX release is far to aptly correct. “The Decline” leaves me a little underwhelmed and a little disappointed. The comedic yet poignant NOFX that I once knew is gone for the moment. I’m not going to give up on them (’cause I didn’t like “Heavy Petting Zoo” either) but here’s the deal a little less art boys and a lot more rock. the CD starts out well enough for the first couple (or what I assume to be) tracks and then it drops right out. I know there are some die hard NOFX fans out there that are gonna be pissed reading this, but then again they’re probably 15. Another thing is that this CD is very politically charged, not this this bothers me, but again it is a departure from what I’ve grown to enjoy from NOFX. I guess it’s good to vent, but get on with it and get back to the good times I have grown to love/loathe.
