Label: Fat Wreck
NOFX brazenly set out to write a double album earlier this decade. They were advised to just release one, which became Single Album, released in February 2021. Flash forward a shade under two years, and here we are with Double Album. This has the band as they’ve always been: crass, fast, thoughtful, funny, and catchy.
The musicianship is top-notch. NOFX have always been underrated musicians, but these four musicians shred at their respective instruments, with Fat Mike and Smelly driving a technical and tight ship (one of the best punk rock rhythm sections).
All in all, Double Album is everything you could want or need from a NOFX album. With everything from skate and classic punk to some poppier moments for good measure, it’s ultimately a joyful and sharp addition for those who can get in on the joke and grab a laugh with one of punk’s ultimate rapscallions. Nearing four decades as a band and gearing up to bid their final farewell over the next year and a bit, Double Album is proof that NOFX are still the potent troublemakers we know and love them for.
