Take off your pants and jacket, well the name gives it all away. This is a good album, but i didnt think it was as good as their previous release "Enema of the state". Bought a special edition which includes the bonus tracks "What went wrong" and "F*ck a dog". The album starts off with a good song "Anthem part two", the follow up to anthem. Basicly they comment on the world today and how its the adults faukts if kids' lives are ruined. No. 2 is a nice fast song "online songs" about internet and love really.

The next song on the album is "first date" and how nervous guys are on first dates with girls. Listen to the lyrics closely and its very funny. It then moves moves onto probably the first OTT song titled "Happy Holidays you B*****d" Which is just stupid really. The next song is a slow one called "Story of a lonely guy" which has got to be one of the best songs on the album. It's about being lonely as the title may suggest and how they try to get the girl but fail.

Next up, track no. 6 is the single "The rock show". This got to number 12 in the UK charts last week. I personnally think its not as good as their older stuff, they sing it too high for a start. This is followed by "Stay together for the kids" about parents getting divorced. Next there is "roller coaster" which is quite good, followed by a really good song, "reckless abandon" Then theres "everytime i lookfor you". I ddont particularly like this that much, but the next song "Give me one good reason" is good.

"Shut up" is next, which is not that good either, neither is the last one listed, "Please take me home" The next 2 songs make up for this though. The first bonus track "what went wrong" is about a relationship being over and is another slow one. Very good song. Next we have the funniest song i have ever heard on an album. "F*ck a dog" is the title. They sing about how they want to f*ck a dog in the @$$ and do the same to your mom, dad and a pirate. Hilarious song.

Overall, i was a bit dissapointed with this after enema of the state, but it is still a really good album. Very unsuitible for children but still very funny.
