(4 Out of 5)

 

Bowing for Soup is a band that I'll never get tired of.  I'll make no apologies for my love of BFS.  Admittedly the band's previous record The Great Burrito Extortion Case was not their best work, but they redeemed themselves on Sorry for Partyin'. 

 

The record opens with "A Really Cool Dance Song," which is actually a really cool pop-punk dance song that pokes fun at all the "pop" bands that dress trendy and make millions with a drum machine and some synthesizers.  How can a person not like a band with a song entitled "Hooray for Beer?"  Somehow BFS make unforgettable records with a simplistic approach to their music as heard on "I Don't Wish You Were Dead Anymore," with a melody that you swear you've heard a hundred times before.

 

If you don't laugh at a song like "No Hablo Ingles" or "BFFF," you should probably check yourself for a pulse.  Will Sorry for Partyin' garner the band another Grammy?  Probably not, but it does offer an enjoyable listen time and time again.  Oh, and lets not forget to touch on "My Wena;" a song obviously written about the intricacies of the penis.  Tell me most of what Jaret Reddick sings about isn't true?    

Suggested Listening: "No Hablo Ingles," "I Gotchoo," "My Wena" and "No Hablo Ingles"
