The thread title pretty much says it all - NOFX's 14th album is out Friday and it's up early on YouTube today. I normally wouldn't make a thread for a band releasing a new album, but I am just really floored by how good it is considering the band is now in their 38th year and as we all know, the vast majority of artists that are still cranking out music almost 4 decades in are usually terrible (when it comes to new music - lots still put on a great performance).
I had low expectations but damn... It's good. It's also surprisingly quite the departure as it's really dark, sad and lyrically heavy. To see them break the NOFX formula this far into their career is pretty cool. For reference, the opening track is basically a slow 6-minute post-hardcore song and the closer is a (half) piano ballad.
If you want to check it out, here's the YouTube playlist link:
However, if you're just curious about how NOFX is sounding these days, I recommend checking out Linewleum, which is their pseudo-cover of their own classic song Linoleum about how they want to never play it again - really gives a good look at good they can sound 40 years in:
