| | NOFX Coaster CD NOFX Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Although they've built their long career on a foundation of jokey, melodic punk rock, California mainstay NOFX have slowly but surely allowed a surprising depth to enter their songwriting. Their 11th album, COASTER, recorded yet again for their own successful Fat Wreck Chords label, certainly has its goofy moments, such as the Tegan & Sara-baiting "Creeping Out Sara" and the Christian-skewering reggae of "Best God in Show," but their sardonic wit is now often used for larger purposes. Songs like the autobiographical "My Orphan Year," about the death of singer Fat Mike's parents, and the gritty street-punk of "We Called it America" display a sharper grasp of adult concerns than NOFX are generally given credit for. No matter how serious they get, however, the music is, as always, exhilarating, top-flight punk reminiscent of '80s SoCal giants like the Descendents and Adolescents.

Alternative Press (p.97) - "Solid, creative, urgent albums like COASTER cement the fact that whenever someone gets around to opening a Punk Rock Hall Of Fame, NOFX should be in its inaugural class."

Coaster Music Review Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   Kings of Candor Return
NOFX returns with another fast paced, witty punk rock explosion. Though notoriously ridiculous, a couple of tracks on this album will show you the more serious side of the group. Don't forget to use the disk as a Coaster after you've loaded the tunes onto your computer!

 Get it!
4 stars because it's not as good as punk in drublic - but a good, solid NOFX album with great lyrics. I've read all kinds of crap, they're getting slower, older, their days are over and all that... NOT TRUE. They still kick a**.

 Great disappointment (NOFX was my favourite band)
The music isn't bad and there isn't only punk-hc. It's a variegated album. Clearly, it's not comparable to "So long and thanks for all the shoes", "Pump up the valuum", "Punk in Drublic" and so on, but it's better than "Wolves in Wolves Clothing". It's not easy to manage to improve after 25 years of music. However, this is my personal opinion.
So, why 1 star only? Because, it isn't possible to rate it "zero stars". The track 5 is ashamed. I won't stand for blasphemy in music. You can be atheist, but to blaspheme, firstly, isn't useful for anything and, besides, it's a lack of respect for me, like for all others believers.
Instead, songs like "Perfect Government", "180 Degrees", "Dinosaurs Will Die" are very helpful for what in wich I believe as strongly as NOFX do (I'm sure).
This one is another my personal opinion, but I want to boost you to boycott this album as much as possible, because to blaspheme does not to represent any kind of freedom, but only the worst kind of ignorance.

Coaster music CDs
$22.35
The last of the radio ballads that Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger, and Charles Parker devised, The Travelling People is also the most accomplished, both in form and content. An examination of the Romany people in Britain, it serves mostly as a condemnation of attitudes toward them and their nomadic lifestyle -- which, as reflected in many of the soundbites, were not complimentary. People simply didn't want them around, calling them "tinkers" and things much worse, as "I Mean, We're Fed Up With Gypsies Living in Our Area" highlights, with the incident of a woman about to give birth being moved on by the police. The attitudes were reflected in other ways too, like the boy who spent several years in the same grade without being taught to read or write, because, the teacher explained, "he's the best message boy I've ever had." But this does more than simply look at the negatives. It examines the life of the gypsies, the way they'd settle in the winter time, or how traveling was part of their nature. MacColl's ...

Coda Magazine 1998 Writers Choice“Lester comes straight out of left field with a record like this, one that confounds most of the stereotypes in contemporary jazz piano. Though he plays slow as often as fast, and never at the hurricane tempo of original bebop, he sounds more closely attuned to bop’s lexicon than many a more fêted contemporary player…Some of the tracks were cut as far back as 1985 while others are more recent; but the record ...

| | Peter White Good Day CD (2009)
Coaster music CDs
$14.95
Many people think of smooth jazz as something that didn't start until the 1980s, but arguably, smooth jazz started around 1966-1968 with the overtly commercial, pop-drenched albums that guitarist Wes Montgomery recorded during the last few years of his life. Love it or hate it, Montgomery's more commercial output had a major impact on Peter White and many other guitarists who have contributed to smooth jazz (including George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Earl Klugh, Chuck Loeb, and Henry Johnson). Musically, a lot has changed since the '60s, but the more things change in music, the more they inevitably stay the same -- and 2009 found White (like Montgomery 41, 42, and 43 years earlier) still struggling with a desire to improvise and a desire for mass acceptance (the thing that jazz, for the most part, lost after World War II). Of course, one doesn't necessarily rule out the another; the late saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. knew how to be commercial and adventurous at the same time, ...
