Product description

NOFX's "Heavy Petting Zoo," released on January 30, 1996, under Epitaph Records, is a high-energy, genre-blending album that showcases the band's signature style and wit. Clocking in at just over 35 minutes, this album is a whirlwind of punk, skate punk, ska punk, ska, melodic hardcore, and hardcore punk, all delivered with NOFX's characteristic raw energy and sharp humor.

From the opening track "Hobophobic (Scared of Bums)" to the closing notes of "Drop The World," the album is packed with fast-paced, catchy tunes that are as thought-provoking as they are fun. Tracks like "Philthy Phil Philanthropist" and "Bleeding Heart Disease" tackle social issues with a punk rock edge, while songs like "Hot Dog In A Hallway" and "What's The Matter With Kids Today?" offer a humorous take on everyday life.

"Heavy Petting Zoo" also showcases NOFX's musical versatility. The ska-infused "Liza" and the melodic hardcore of "Release The Hostages" demonstrate the band's ability to blend genres seamlessly. Meanwhile, tracks like "Love Story" and "The Black & White" highlight the band's knack for crafting memorable melodies and hooks.

With its clever lyrics, infectious rhythms, and dynamic sound, "Heavy Petting Zoo" is a standout album in NOFX's discography. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the band, this album is sure to keep you engaged from start to finish.

The vinyl record I've had since my college days in '96 still delivers fantastic sound. Sadly, the dust cover didn't survive a basement flood. At least the music itself is still top-notch!

The record I've had since my college days in '96 still sounds incredible. Sadly, the dust cover didn't survive a basement flood. I guess what truly counts is the vinyl itself!
Missing Lyrics, Audio Issues

I'm puzzled as to why "Hobophobic" and "Whatever Didi Wants" aren't included in the lyrics section. I haven't laid eyes on the liner notes since I lent out the CD over 20 years ago, so I was thrilled to bits when I found it again! But why are those lyrics and pictures missing? It's so weird because there are blank spaces where they should be. Anyway, the album itself looks fantastic, but sound-wise, my copy has a ton of pops and clicks. Whenever the music isn't at full volume, they're really noticeable. I gave it a good clean before the first play, so I was pretty annoyed when I heard loud pops during the quieter parts of the songs. Also got the WTTH&B limited color version from Epitaph with the same order, and it's super clean.
