The Great Burrito Extortion Case : Bowling For Soup : Review : Rolling Stone

The sixth album from the Texas band with the mildly funny songs is shamelessly bright power-pop punk. But between the we're-happy-to-be-happy "I'm Gay" and the laudatory "Val Kilmer," the dozens of not really clever jokes about crazy girls and John Mellencamp, and whined harmonies and chug-a-chug guitars that blend together, the songs wear out their charm with a quickness.

I think Bowling For Soup recorded another excellent cd. It's hilarious as all their previous albums and they really out did their selves this time with the title. You couldn't expect anything more or less from them. Best of all, they never seem to disappoint you.

Bowling for Soup has done it again with The Great Burrito Extortion Case. The teeny boppers have been linig up to buy this album not only at the shows but at the stores as well. It seems they can do no wrong. They have however changed their sound since the last album. The songs are happier and more concentrated on things other than drinking and having a good time. Maybe it is because more of the band members are settling down and starting families whatever it is it's working. I can't wait to see more from these guys.

This Cd is definately one that i am going to keep on my mp3 for a long time, it has that punk rock sound that i like to hear, and loved every minute of it. I'm still hoping for another to come out, i dont think they can top this one, but they can try

This album is not only a great album, but it also has a comic geniuos. Each song draws you in more with the catchy hooks and laugh out loud lyrics. The combination of humor, catchy beats, and great harmony's make this album a winner! You can't go wrong buying this album. Just listening to it brings a smile to your face. But hey, that's Bowling for Soup...bringing smiles & happiness to the masses one song at a time.
