Even if you are a crotchety old punk rock curmudgeon, you still hafta like this album.  Lagwagon had been around awhile prior to this one and had some good releases, but this was when that "Epi-Fat" sound was really  breaking out and thus all the more compelling.  Very catchy tunes with  surprisingly witty, insightful lyrics in a power-pop-punk package make it  an irresistable recording.  It's a shame that they would go on to change  their sound and head toward a slicker, dumber Blink182 type sound.  Get  this one and remember pop-punk before the avalanche.
