Music reviews of Longest Line
Music Review: At the end of the longest line
Rating: 3 Stars
Short and sweet, `The Longest Line' was recorded as an excuse for NOFX to show off their new guitar player El Hefe. Having played in a few other bands, and also appearing in the movie "The Bad News Bears" as a child, El Hefe came to NOFX with a big rep. NOFX meanwhile had been trying in vain to drop any Metal inferences and influences from their sound, and a trumpet playing guitarist seemed the obvious way to finish off the misleading Metal references.
The difference in sound between this and previous album `Ribbed' is not immediately apparent. On first impression, "The Death Of John Smith" could easily have been lifted from that album, but then a melodic passage, which wouldn't have fit earlier material pops up, providing a contrast to NOFX's straight forward So-Cal Punk sound.
Fat Mike's vocals were far less melodic than on later albums. His slightly nasal, slightly off key voice can grate at times. His lyrics though were beginning to take on an insightfulness not previously shown, exploring the hopelessness of a nine-to-five existence with an edge of cynicism and sarcasm.
El Hefe finally steps up on closing track "Kill All The White Man", suddenly adding a trumpet and a Reggae sound never heard before from the band. The seemingly happy, almost funky little melody led by Fat Mike's bass, ironically underscores a slave's lament as to his hopeless plight. Hefe sings too, with a more mellow voice than Fat Mike, and punctuates his verses with trumpet bursts. The band kick out the jams for a traditional Punk finale to the EP.
Recorded as an experiment, with a couple of throwaway tracks, `The Longest Line' pointed where NOFX were heading, as the band's song writing improved and diversified. It was a blueprint for a winning formula.
