The tenth Bowling For Soup studio album to date, ‘Sorry For Partyin’ gets off to an absolutely incredible start with ‘A Really Cool Dance Song’, arguably the very best track on the album. ‘A Really Cool Dance Song’ is such a fun song to start with, and right away the mood of the album is set as you get ready to enjoy another entertaining album from the Texan pop punkers. “ This song sounds like a dance song, cos dance songs are cool now, so get up and shake what your momma gave ya!” sings Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Riddick, and Bowling For Soup’s “attempt at a dance song” is definitely a massive hit with me.
‘No Hablo Ingles’ is up next, and continues the party atmosphere as another very fun piece of pop music. The same can also be said of third track ‘My Wena’, the first released single from the album, and there are a number of tracks here that really do raise a smile.
Comprising of eighteen tracks in total, there’s plenty to keep you entertained on the ‘Sorry For Partyin’ studio album, with the band proving here that even after all this time it is still able to provide the comedy. There are some tracks here that aren’t so effective as others, the quality of tracks such as ‘I Can’t Stand LA’, ‘BFFF’, and ‘Hooray For Beer’ is sure to please however, and if you’ve been impressed by previous Bowling For Soup albums then you’ll no doubt enjoy listening to this one also.
If you’re up for a bit of light-hearted humour then definitely do give ‘Sorry For Partyin’ a listen, and a very entertaining listening experience is sure to be provided. Bowling For Soup has been around since 1994 now, is still keen to provide the pop punk fun, and so long as the band keeps on churning out the albums I will continue listening.
