Advantages: 14 great tracks

Disadvantages: n/a

Its difficult to explain, .. well?, ...this album is just great.
Like previous album Hitler Bad Vandals Good, this is album with 14 straight tracks with absolutely no filler.
It has like most of all Vandals stuff songs that are actually very funny and songs that make a lot of sense.

1.Behind The Music
This is a fantastic song, fast track with the lyrics going on about functions of a band trying to make it big. a great line from it is "Our Fate Is In The Hands Of Strangers, Going Gold Or Down The Hole - You Can Kiss My Ass".
2.Sorry, Mom and Dad.
Where most other punk musicians go with songs about how their parents failed them, The Vandals with this track go in a completely different direction. With a track (which is obvious by the title) about apologising to your parents for all your wrongs to them.
3. Go.
One of my favourite tracks on this albums.
An extremely fast track that is absolutely full of energy with the repition of GO! GO! GO! GO!
4.The New You.
A good track about changes in a person and the complication in a relationship. some good phrases in this.
5.Flowers Are Pretty.
This is a bit of a funny track, but with a great lot of sense to it. About leaving your worries behind and living your life, great line in "Dont Worry What Might Give You Cancer..."
6.Jackass.
Co-written with Dexter Holland from Nitro records and (more commonly known for ) The Offspring. From the point of view, not from the band but from 'a loved one' of a band member.
7.What About Me.
Another Vandals track that has a continous great tune.
8.You're Not The Boss Of Me (kick it)
A great track with catchy lyrics in "Do you wanna kick it with me.."
9.I'm The Boss Of Me.
the instrumental side is very similar to "OK" from Hitler Bad Vandals Good, a great fast track.
10. Thats My Girl.
A good track with a nice tune and some great funny lyrics- &
quot;Thats My girl..Flirting with your husband"
11. Get A room
Another funny style song, i think the title explains itself.
12.San Berdu.
A sng about how most girls compare in comparison to that one girl.
13.Crippled And Blind.
A good (varied) fast track about pain of relationship, with some wierd and different sounds used to good effect.
14. Fourteen.
Definitely a joke track, about relationships with 14 yr old girls.

Overall I was very very very very impressed with this album. I now have 3 Vandals albums and they have way passed my expectations.
I also like the cover of the album- which refers very well to the name "Look What I Almost stepped in"- on the cover it has a man with bullshit in his hand.
I reccomend you go out and buy it now.
