One of the great challenges in writing any of these …things is stopping myself using the obvious clichéd vocabulary at every turn. Describing sad films as ‘heart wrenching’ or books as being ‘intricately plotted’. So it is for Double Album, the latest release from NOFX - the burning urge to describe it as blistering is overwhelming, but I must do better. Tongue firmly in cheek from even the title (the album is 10 tracks and 29 minutes long), Double Album is a pleasure of a punk rock album, rattling through easy riffs and diffident lyrics at quite a clip. Album opener Darby Crashing Your Party absolutely blitzes through the quips - “a film about grave robbing without a plot”, “painting the town red between the lines” - with requisite rough vocal harmonies. Don’t Count On Me, another highlight, eventually turns to an almost reggae re-interpolation of itself whilst bemoaning the lack of Mexican actors in science fiction in its own particular way. I don’t think anyone in NOFX would in any way take offence at the assumption that they’re not aiming for symphonic brilliance in their music, but my god I’m sure you’d have a lot of fun at one of their shows.
