    I like the album, the record is clean, but this is just CD-mastering pressed on vinyl. Heavily compressed and brickwalled, just like Wolves on Wolves or War on Errorism on vinyl. I was hoping I'll get better sounding versions, but I guess should have stick with CDs instead.

      Side A is great start to finish. Generation Z is one of my favorite songs ever. Good pressing of a great album!

        Defo not very good at all. After 3 years, it still doesn't hold my attention. Probably the worst no-fx alb.

          Though i don't like how modern records sound (damn hypercompressed productions, even on vinyll!!), First Ditch Effort is almost a masterpiece: NOFX are back to the 90s when they were -imo- at their best.
