Pumping The Valuum!

by braindrain , Jun 14 '07
Pros: Standard NOFX... which is good!
Cons: Some humour wears thin. Few mediocre songs
NOFX are one of those bands that don’t need an introduction. They’re one of the most iconic and name dropped bands in the punk scene, responsible for the thousands of bands replicating the speedy skate punk sound that they’ve been playing for all these ...

Pump Up The Valuum...Or Should We...?

by JiggyJay Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 11 '03
Pros: some great songs, funny songs, it's NOFX
Cons: some songs just plain stink
Being the first NOFX CD I ever got, I listened to the heck out of it. Now, that I’ve listened to some of their other albums, I never listen to Pump Up anymore because it’s not as good as some of their other records like Punk In Drublic and So...

Hiking Up the Dosage

by gluesniffer311 , Mar 24 '03
Pros: A solid punk rock record.
Cons: A few, key word few, flimsy songs.
NOFX are punk rock veterans. People may say Green Day or Blink-182 started the punk-pop movement, but it was actually NOFX and The Vandals. The only difference is NOFX never tried to get on the radio. They wanted what they have now. Complete and...

It's Almost Too Easy Now...

by simon_rule , Apr 17 '03
Pros: Lyrics are probably the best yet
Cons: The same drumbeat, they've kept exactly the same style throughout - boring!
Okay, let me set the scene.
I was on holiday in Germany and was really bored from sightseeing, so I was looking forward to spending the money I'd previously saved on a good NOFX record, namely So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes.
I entered the...

There's Nothing Finer Than Having a Pant Liner.

by Suburbia25 , Jul 28 '00
Pros: Everything I could have asked for in a NOFX cd.
Cons: They've ditched Ska completely. Pretty vulgar at times. May be unsuitable for those who get offended often.
Finally, it has come. Punk Rock legends NOFX have proved themselves rebellious, talented and un-constitutional once again.

Pump Up The Valuum stands proudly as their first release since the angry and government thrashing EP entitled...

And now for something completely similar... Yup.

by Officer , Mar 07 '01
Pros: A couple notable tracks and some middle of the road work.
Cons: Mostly middle of the road. A largely uneventful album.
Summer of 2000 saw the release of some interesting new punk albums, including Bad Religion ~The New America, and Dillinger Four ~Versus God. Summer of 2000 also saw NOFX putting out their tenth full length, entitled Pump up the...

NOFX, SILICONE, PUNK

by themr2man , May 31 '01
Pros: Great lyrics, music, and humor
Cons: Profanity and vulgarity may offend some
NOFX pumps up the music with this album. Pump Up The Valuum is my favorite NOFX album for many reasons. The songs are great and discuss many different topics. They talk about sex, girls, the government, and many anti-authority issues.

If you...

Can you hear them play a similarity?

by Jeremy-Day , Jul 21 '00
Pros: It's fantastic.
Cons: The lyrics are horrible.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Well, when I first bought this album, I hated it. But that's not a big surprise. Most of the cds that I end up loving are ones that I hated when I first got them. But unlike my hatred for the other cds, I had some real reasons for my...

They aren't bad, but they aren't maturing

by sxejustin , Jan 21 '01
Pros: It rocks in some spots, I have a soft spot for Fat Mike's annoying voice.
Cons: A lot of the songs are really damn stupid, the lyrics aren't too great.
Chances are if you listen to punk rock and are under the age of sixteen you are down with NOFX. Scratch that, you're all about NOFX. You've got a couple of their albums, that super cool Snickers shirt that says "Punkers", and you rock out to the...

NOFX: Pumping Up the Kick Ass Music!

by big_loser , Jun 28 '00
Pros: NOFX 's music, good humor, unique from other bands
Cons: Parental Advisory
I could not wait for the next NOFX album after listening to "So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes". While "The Decline" was a good fix, i needed more! This CD was well worth the wait. NOFX is back in all their glory. I think that this...

NOFX's worst album since "Ribbed"

by jonotrain , Aug 16 '00
Pros: About seven excellent songs
Cons: none of the music is up to the standard of excellence which NOFX has set for itself in the past, the best songs are already on seven inches
Pump Up the Valuum is not NOFX’s best cd, but it is still great compared to the rest of what is on the market. It is only worth buying if you have all their cds from “Ribbed” to “So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes” and like them, as it is their worst...

Is a "valuum" an artless NOFX album?

by Mocoso , Jul 12 '00
Pros: Most consistently good punk band in the business!
Cons: It's too short. Not the finest crafted lyrics.
As a non-drug abusing, non-angry non-punker with comparatively little interest in Lesbians, I suppose I can't truly identify with Fat Mike, the singer for NOFX. Nonetheless, I am still impressed with the musical merits of this group.
I've often...

Take Two Placebos And You'll Like This CD

by dikowski , Jun 15 '01
Pros: They know what they are doing when it comes to punk rock!
Cons: none
Highlights - This CD has 14 of what I think are some of the best songs NoFX has EVER written. This CD really shows that NoFX knows how to write music!

Fat Mike - On this CD, Fat Mike really sings. I think this is the best that I have ever...

NOFX takes a breath...then let's it out....yay...?...

by Loyalpunk21 , Jan 03 '01
Pros: The rad blending of guitar melodies thrown in with the heavy bass, drum, and all-around punk as f*ck music. These guys definately DO NOT suck.
Cons: Yea, ok, it's PUNK ROCK music, right? and most PUNK ROCKERS keep "snotty" reps....but I just <personally> dislike how Fat Mike and the rest of the band continue to exploit their fans' stupidities and KNOW they'll always be idolized.....b
I must say, after hearing "The Decline" EP about a year ago, my faith in long-time punk rockers NOFX was restored. (Hey, don't get me WRONG, I mean, I've ALWAYS liked NOFX ever since I heard "Liza and Louise" from their '92...

Great way to end millenium

by Davie , Sep 20 '00
Pros: Classic album, Some serious content.
Cons: none
As I looked on the back of my new NOFX record I became dissapointed, I saw that there were tracks entitled "Dinosaurs will die", "Clams have feelings too", and worst of all "My vagina". I thought that NOFX were...
