NOFX's first studio full length on Fat! The band tackles serious matters (punk culture and politics) with their trademark wit and sarcasm, focusing on George W. Bush There's a new clown in town, back in the day (2003) the album went Top 50 in both the UK and US and had been a mainland European succes as well, receaching the Top 30 in both Switzerland and Germany, as well scoring Top 50 in Austria and Top 100 in France.
"Musically, NOFX fuses its political cynicism with criticism of punk rock itself and suggests that the best thing for all the kids and the bands might be to close ranks and start their own little hardcore community. 'Irrationality of Rationality' and 'Franco Un-American'_two of the album's most melodic, catchy songs_are also two of War on Errorism's most biting commentaries. The first personalizes the trickle-down effect of corporate decision-making over a lockstep hardcore rhythm; the second gets all-new wavy as Fat Mike reasons out his own world view and somehow rhymes "apathy" with "Noam Chomsky" - allmusic.com
NOFX has retired but their legacy lives forever. The band is currently the subject of their first comprehensive exhibit at the Punk Rock Museumin Las Vegas. Their documentary 40 Years of Fuckin Upmakes has premiere at SXSW 2026 and widely available in April (Score & soundtrack coming soon, feat. new NOFX music). The next volume in the A-Z rarities trilogy "I to Q" is set for a late 2026 release.
And keep an eye on Fat Mike, rumor is he's got some opinions on the current state of the world. So be warned: owning this record might piss off (more than ever) your army recruiter, grizzled grampa, or those wacky flag-wavin' nationalist buddies of yours.
