No Use For a Name
The Feel Good Record of the Year
Fat Wreck
7.00/10.00

I’ve never really been able to get into NUFAN, but “Feel Good…” is pretty quality pop-punk. It’s a little formulaic, but I guess if
it ain’t broke, make a record out of it.

If you’re curious about picking this record up, and aren’t quite convinced if theres any stand out’s then rest assured. “Sleeping Between Truck” hits home in such a basic, and primal way. “The Trumpet Player” is endearing to no end, and “Ontario” is just plain good.

Most of the record is just really melodic, tightly-knit skate punk music. At times vocalist Tony Sly’s vocals are a bit too nasally, and at other times NUFAN attempt to be poignant but wind up just preaching.

Overall, it’s a good spin. There might be a reason that No Use For a Name have been around for two decades.
