Advantages: Easily the the most intelligent and well-written book of the Hitchhiker's series. Disadvantages: Little input from some of the best characters.
to the Galaxy', Arthur Dent soon discovers that his friend Ford, isn't really from Guilford after all. Not even from England for that matter. He's from a small blue-green planet somewhere in the vicinity of Beetlejuice. Ford warns Arthur of the planets impending doom - that it will soon be destroyed to make way for an inter-stellar bypass. He and Arthur escape from the planet and, sure enough, the Earth is blown-away... After adventures occupying the following two books ('The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' and 'Life, the Universe and Everything'), we come to 'SoLong, and Thanks for all the Fish'...
'SoLong, and Thanks for all the Fish' (SLATFATF) is the fourth book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. I bought it as part of a box-set and vaporised my way through the books as fast as possible. But... years later ...
Advantages: fun, catchy, great riffs Disadvantages: not a vast fan-base
Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Mest etc ??. a line of Green Day wannabes growing longer with every intake of breath. Yet, other than Good Charlotte, there is only one band that have earned the god given right to be spoken of in the same sentence as Green Day. That band hit the scene with the release of their album ?Blue Skies, Broken Hearts ?.. Next 12 Exits? in 1999 through Kung Fu Records. That album, however infectious, was nothing compared to the success they would see with the follow up album ?SoLong, Astoria? (and no that?s not in reference to the London gig venue). Released in 2003 through Sony Music, ?SoLong Astoria? came full to the brim with great lyrics and hooks so infectious that you wouldn?t want anything else. Oh ?.. And the name of the band ???? The Ataris.

Advantages: great music, funny lyrics Disadvantages: short tracks?
To be correct the album is called "SoLong and Thanks For All The Shoes" and this is their 5th album I think, along with countless mini albums.
As with all music by NOFX it is usually a dig at something which will usually tick someone off. This usually comes out in the best punk rock that I have heard. SoLong and Thanks For All The Shoes is no exception, this is quite a brilliant album. It possibly strays from the normal flow of things with some quite mellow, but this doesn't matter it makes the album flow better. Also the more mellow songs are quite funny and they even have a song which is in French.
Some of the songs that are on this album inclue:
it's my job to keep punk rock elite
kid's of the k-hole
murder the government
monosyllabic girl
180 Degrees
all his suits are torn
all outta angst ...
