Bowling For Soup, Sorry For Partyin’. Album Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. November 27th 2009.

The ultimate good time band from Texas have once more come up with the goods and delivered an album that will make music critics cringe but delight their legion of fans around the world.

Unashamedly entitled Sorry For Partyin’, the album contains thirteen normal tracks and five bonus ones, just in case there isn’t enough Soup in the bowl for you.

The band have been around for long now that it could be considered impolite to say boys when referring to the foursome but there is something rather charming and cool about this band and their ways that boyish suits them perfectly.

The album opens with A Really Cool Dance Song and No Hablo Ingles before going into the song that has caused controversy with its July 2009 video release My Wena.

The band are once more on top form again and hardly put a foot wrong as they power through the album at what seems like break neck speed. Lead vocalist Jaret Reddick, although very much a party boy at heart has come of age on this album as his vocals seem more mature and the ever likeable guitarist Chris Burney produces some of his best work on this album.

If you are easily offended then I suggest you stay away from this album, if you just want to listen to some good songs that will change your life then what the hell are you doing attempting to listen to this. If you want songs that will make you laugh at the absurdity of life, the stupidity of those around us and the chance to sing loudly at the top of your voice then I recommend this album to you.
