The War on Errorism
A full 20 years after their formation, NOFX still proudly possess a rebellious spirit. Several of the tracks on War on Errorism name-check great punk bands of the past who's code of ethics NOFX follow. This album, it is made very clear, is real punk. Indeed, so keen are NOFX to d
istance themselves from mindless frat-punk that they've made a serious effort to address politics in an adult fashion. George Bush is attacked with vigor, as are imperialists, warmongers and greedy corporate directors. Listeners are urged to fight the apathy that keeps the masses in thrall to corrupt government and business. But no NOFX album could stay serious for long. Their heady mix of punk, pop, and ska demands a lighthearted approach and "She's Nubs," the tale of a limbless punk girl, and "Mattersville" about a community of punks on pension, are blasts of fun. --Dominic Wills

Pump up the Valuum
There are two sides to the punk coin. On one side, serious and somewhat political acts such as Fugazi are in it for the pulpit. NOFX is firmly stamped on the other side, where it's less soapbox than a threat of getting their mouths washed out with soap. Not since the heyday of th
e Dead Milkmen has there been a more insincere and politically incorrect punk-rock outfit, and the world is a more entertaining place for it. Pump Up the Valium's lyrics are first-class juvenilia. The backwards fantasy "What's the Matter with Parents Today?" poses a Twilight Zone-like fantasy in which front man fat Mike laments how "Dad's dressing like Motley Crue" and "Mom's hair's dyed bright blue." There are also tracks such as "My Vagina" and "Herojuana," which are pretty self-explanatory. Some might find such nonstop irreverence tedious if the band weren't so tight while being impolite. --Jason Josephes

Punk in Drublic
NOFX's fourth album houses 17 lean and fast tracks crammed with fiery playing ("Dying Degree," "Leave It Alone"), self-deprecating laughs ("Punk Guy," "The Brews") and sharp commentary (Perfect Government, Lori Meyers). --Jeff Bateman
