Bowling for Soup – Sorry for Partyin’

Sorry for Partyin’
Bowling for Soup, the piss taking Texan ‘pop punks’ are back in true BFS style with their latest offering, Sorry For Partyin’.
The album kicks off with a very recognisable style in A Really Cool Dance Song. It’s one for the crowd to jump about to, but listening to the lyrics has you laughing as well. They continue with the jovial, upbeat mood, throughout this album.
The laugh a minute continues all the way through with songs like My Wena, BFFF (with lines like “We farted, both in the same key” and “I hit on your mom and got to second base!”) and Hooray For Beer.
One of the standout tracks for me was I Can’t Stand LA, having a traditional punk style drum sound to it, but with the unmistakable BFS lyrics and lead over it.
A couple of tracks were a bit of let down for me. Notably If Only which just not as upbeat and bouncy as you would expect from BFS. It was more a ‘lighters in the air’ type of song.
It’s hard to believe that the boys have been around since 1994 and haven’t gone down the pretentious route of making crap albums and passing them off as ‘taking a new direction’. They give their fans exactly what they want, time and time again, which is how they still sell out UK venues on a regular basis
Vintage BFS, and sure to be a favourite among their fans.
