...brass-laden ska-themed tunes. Usually the band offers a more varied collection, such as with the two previous releases. Heavy Petting Zoo and Punk In Drublic, but not this time around. As for lyrics, traditional NOFX fare can be expected--pointless nuggets of comedy taken from lead singer Fat Mike's crazy world and critical mini-harangues that fit within the confines of the under-one-and-a-half-minute rock song. The topics have become expected and patterned, and So Long's lack of musical exploration leaves them susceptible to criticism. Hopefully the future will show that this...
...Degrees" follows in the same lyrical vein as "Punk Rock Elite," but the streamlined punk sound takes a few breaks for lighter, bass-heavy breakdowns, a musical influence that blossoms in later tracks. Fat Mike questions society in traditional punk fashion ("It's so easy to defend the status quo/With everyone so cool and cynical/But when you see the end don't justify the means") as the slow funk beat transforms into a crashing, supercharged rhythm...

...Things Go," in the "Sausage Series" the artists remove human presence and distort scale, producing a world of crude cinematic maquettes overrun by cigarette-butt villagers and sausage-mobiles. In "The Carpet Shop" a group of cornichons inspect piles of thinly-sliced processed meat doubling as Persian carpets with fat-swirl designs and olive-chunk embroidery. Hardly just playing with their food, in these photographs Fischli and Weiss provide a wry social critique, probing the banality and vulgarity of a middle-class Swiss breakfast--an insult to American anti-cholesterol culture. Yet, at the same time their loving construction...
