Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Any band formed by a former toyshop owner who cites his influences as REO Speedwagon, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and Tammy Wynette, aren't going to be the most deep and meaningful bunch, but they have their moments. Like most people, Bowling For Soup have issues, they just don't mope about them, preferring instead to vent their frustrations through cathartic bouts of rocket fuelled surf punk on Let's Do It For Johnny. All the things that preoccupy the hearts and minds of skateboard kids around the world are succinctly dealt with using the minimum of tact and the maximum of hard rocking sincerity. In short, sharp, three-minute bursts to chugging beats and undeniably contagious tunes, they tackle always being a hot girl's best friend, never her lover ("Suckerpunch"), the mysteries of relationships ("Bitch"), fatal attractions ("Dance With You") and the need for a new girlfriend ("Valentino"). They're Blink 182 with a heart, and whatever their problems, Bowling For Soup, like the slacker generation they represent, are determined not to let the world or less than understanding girlfriends get them down. Amen to that. --Dan Gennoe

Hello there, if you are debating about whether to buy this cd or not then I tell you now, DO. I believe it's the best bfs album. The songs and very catchy and even if you cant sing and are normally rather shy, you'll find yourselve singing your heart out to all the songs.

i brought this album today after hearing just one song from it, and i love it. I am playing it as this moment, and i can't bring myself to switch it off even though i'm nackered and want to go to sleep. It's so addictive!
Bowling For Soup are fantastic, and so is this album. I'll be buying there other albums as soon as i can.

When I first heard this album I wasn't sure that the bouncing melodic tunes were my kind of music. However, Bowling For Soup really grow on you and the superb lyrics of songs like Bitch, Valentino and You and Me really stick in your head. All of the songs have an addictive beat with lyrics that most people can easily relate to. Bowling For Soup show similarities to bands such as Greenday or in places Blink 182. All of the songs bar one (that being Bryan Adams Summer of '69) are their own and come with a fresh and new feeling. This is a very much upbeat album with lyrics that will make even the hardest person smile. I highly recommend this album and it is well worthy of the five stars I give it.

The most catchy and darn right brilliant CD ever. Probably.
The album cover may not be as good as Blink 182s 'Enema Of The State' but that doesn't mean to say the content isn't as good. Read more

New age punk.
Maybe there just a new band but the music is just outstanding. I believe these are the new kings of punk all they need is time and abit of recognition. Excellent debut album.

A mixture of '60s influence, and punk rock, and you've got a great album. I especially love Valentino and Suckerpunch. Read more
