Band: No Use For A Name Release: More Betterness State: CA Label: Fat Wreck Chords PO Box 193690, San Francisco, CA 94119-3690 Contact: http://www.nouseforaname.com Wow! Boy oh boy does No Use for a Name play some awesome music. They've toned it down a notch and it's so poppy and punky that "More Betterness" puts a smile on your face in a moment. It could at times be compared to NOFX (like most Fat Wreck releases can be) but the lyrics set it apart, and personally I kinda like NUFAN more than NOFX. The CD has such an "emo" layout. I mean the world is going emo, but this is awesome. The back of it has four artsy photos of the musical instruments and the rest of the CD has some awesome molecular designs floating around. But the music is what makes this a great CD. The intros before each song do begin to get annoying after a while, but I like their attempts to make it interesting. The violin in the beginning of the first song adds a great touch, as does the cello, piano, and tin whistle also thrown in. Tilt's Cinder Block does vocals on "Fairytale of New York" which adds a little variation in there. Mmmm... This is a most worthwhile release to check out Tracks: 1. Not Your Savior 2. Life Size Mirror 3. Chasing Rainbows 4. Lies Can't Pretend 5. Why Doesn't Anybody Like Me? 6. Sleeping In 7. Fairytale of New York 8. Pride 9. Always Carrie 10. Let it Slide 11.
