War On Errorism - NOFX

'The War on Errorism' is the ninth studio album from the American punk rock band that is NOFX. The album was released in 2003, a politically charged musical stab at the US president George W. Bush. NOFX front man Fat Mike has always been quite open in his hatred for the president, throughout this album his thoughts about the man are made quite clear and although the lyrical content is quite interesting the music sadly never is. The album runs for thirty six minutes, a very bland thirty six minutes of music this is too. The album begins with the track 'The Separation of Church and Skate', immediately you get the distinct impression that this album is not ...  Read the complete review

War on errorism is the ninth studio album from the American punk band nofx. The band had already been around for some time before this album and their standard of music was high. This album which was released in 2003 takes the mick out of George Bush who was president of America at that time and the album art also reflects this.

The style of this one is ...  Read the complete review

Californian punk band NOFX are famed for their longevity, ultra-speed guitar riffs and their hatred for the US government and nothing changes, as The War on Errorism once more reflects these traits. The album itself consists of 14 tracks but as always with their songs, the whole thing lacks in length a little, weighing in at approx. 36 minutes in total - too short for a music album in my opinion. The material is as ever politically-charged, exemplified not only by George W Bush's portrayal as a clown on the front of the CD but by Franco Un-American (the single relesead from the album), Idiots Are Taking Over and The Irrationality of Rationality, amongst ...  Read the complete review

By 2003, NOFX had been around a long time. Formed out of the claustrophobic Oxnard hardcore scene in the mid-80s, the band had progressed from generic three-chord exchanges with metal-esque guitar hooks into an excellent punk band. By the release of 2000's "Pump Up The Valium", the band were becoming more popular than ever. As a result, there was an unprecendented amount of hype in the build up to this release. NOFX had, essentially, stayed true to the underground DIY hardcore punk ethic upon which they had been raised, refusing to sign to a commercial label and keeping a good relationship with fans whilst producing decent music. However, War On ...  Read the complete review
