Music reviews of Bottles to the GroundMusic Review: My Sister's Name is Mary Jane and mine's Bud
I bought this CD basically for the songs lower and bud. I already had PUTV (Pump up the Valuum) and was a big fan of both dinosaurs will die and bottles to the ground, so it was an added bonus to see these tracks amongst 2 unreleased tracks. Contrary to what many people believe this is not a sellout record, simply because nofx is not a sellout band. Nofx has a set fan base that will always buy new stuff, especially cool unreleased stuff like this, just look at 45 or 46 songs, that cd is incredible. Oh and if you didn't notice half that cd is live/first take recordings. Also another thing, Fat Mike runs the biggest and best indie punk label kicking around. Not only that but it hosts big offshoots like anti-flags AF records and Strung Out's Stomp! Records (ska music), not to mention Honest Don's and Pink and Black. OK with that out of the way on to the description of the album. Bottles to the Ground, the song which the EP is named after is a mediocre song. Its catchy almost to the verge of being annoying. It talks about living off the drink Its of course on the album PUTV which was released 6 months earlier. Its not entirely bad, but not one of their best. Dinosaur's will Die is arguably the best song from PUTV. It's a satire of modern day record industries, mocking such things as contracts, VH one, one hit wonders, and those frivolous money-spending artists that plague society. It also states how music is no longer made from devotion, but for fame and ambition. A general song about how the big guys, like the dinosaurs will eventually die, as the evolution of music kicks in. Lower is one heck of a song, dealing with people who pride themselves on being the best, and always trying to bring people down to bring themselves up. It has great lyrics but best of all a truly great sound. This is Fat Mike mocking those guys who are always trying to make themselves seem better by bringing others down. Lines like "on a pedestal isn't the view great, you better watch your step, cause it's a nasty fall when know one is their to catch you when you call" grace this song and display the opinion clearly. My name is Bud is a short song, and as you can guess it deals with a substance some of us might be aware of. Its quick, its fast, and its catchy, a great tune about a guy being pressured when he's young to smoke up. It ends with a great line "my sister's name is mary jane and mines bud" A classic tune that should be in every avid Nofx's record collection. So there you have it, it's a decent EP, worth the money if you are a big fan, wouldn't suggest it to a beginner nofx fan, as they might be disappointed. However this is personally a 5 star for me, and to all those complaining about them sending this EP to the radio stations, go listen to the other song they sent to the radio stations, its called Please Play this song on the radio.
