The Great Burrito Extortion Case marks Bowling For Soup's sixth album to date and in my opinion its one of their best.
On the new album, the guys of Bowling for Soup are just having a good time singing and joking around all to a pop punk beat. The music is definitely not for everyone but if you're a fan of the pop punk genre well you should get a kick out of this album because not only does it contain some great tunes but its pretty funny to boot.
The hit single "High School Never Ends" is probably one of the best tracks on the album and is also probably the most meaningful. While the song seems rather silly and upbeat, however, if you really listen to the lyrics the song is pretty much stating fact. Life is High School and it never ends until we die. I think it's interesting that Bowling for Soup can make such a silly sounding song but at the same time it can still prove true to our society.
Other noteworthy songs include Much More Beautiful Person, Val Kilmer, and my personal favorite track Why Don't I Miss You? While I can't say I ever felt the need to skip any of the tracks on the album and I have listened to this album well over 10 times now, I do feel the track I'm Gay is probably the weakest song on the album. It just seems to try to hard to be funny when after a while it gets old.
I have understood why Bowling for Soup hasn't become a big Pop Punk band like Blink 182 but maybe it's for the better. I personally think these guys rock and I am a dedicated fan to their music. They try really hard to have fun and upbeat music with a pop punk sound and I respect them for it. Some may even call Bowling for Soup a spoof of pop punk music but I think there awesome either way.
All in all, The Great Burrito Extortion Case is a great album. If you're a fan of Bowling for Soup and enjoyed their last few albums you will probably love this CD as much as you loved those.
My rating 4/5

Free Music Review: Ya just gotta love the guys in Bowling For Soup.
Hit: 4 Stars
Ya just gotta love the guys in Bowling For Soup.
You get the impression that thay can't believe they are actually doing what they are doing and getting paid for it.
And that OTHER people like them, and also like their jokes.
That they are not alone.
MAN did I laugh during the first listen to this album! This is hilarious. HIGH-larious I tell you.
Starting with "Epiphany" is OK, but the one for the eventual greatest-hits compilation is "High School Never Ends." Great melody, great chorus, funny lyrics...my three year old will love this song as much as I do, and that's a huge compliment.
These guys can really play too. Hidden under all the goofiness is a tight band who are all proficient with their instruments. Don't let the comical, "slacker"-ness fool you: these guys can tear it up just fine.
Other songs kept my toes tapping and my head bouncing around, while at the same time making me giggle and laugh uncontrollably...like "Val Kilmer" or "I'm Gay" or "A Friendly Goodbye", whose lyrics will be used by thousands of people breaking up with their significant others soon I'm sure.
"Luckiest Loser" will likely also find its' way to the greatest hits record...loved the melody, the thrashy-but-never-sloppy musicianship and the killer lyrics.
More straightforward songs, like 'Don't Let It Be Love" or "If You Come Back To Me" don't stand out as much...and "99 Biker Friends" is way funny, but I wonder if the joke will wear off as the underlying song isn't as sturdy as many of the others.
This is a group I would love to see live in concert. I bet they're a hoot.
If you like a classic punky-pop-rock sound with a healthy dose of humor, it doesn't get any better than this!
