This album is for me probably one of the best post-punk albums of the 90's.
This record is almost flawless (for a punk album). Way better than most of the stuff that bands like Green day and Offspring recorded in that same time period. Too bad that Punk In Drublic did not get the recognition it deserves.... Do you agree? |

I like it on it's level. I don't think it's quite as good as "White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean" but it's WAY better than "Heavy Petting Zoo". It's tight and humorous with a fat guitar sound, but it's not breaking any new ground IMO.
Speaking of Breaking Things, IMO the greatest Pop-Punk album ever |

Hm, not so sure it didn't get attention, I mean in "punk" circles it is pretty widely known (guessing it was on release, don't have many memories from those days) and probably equally hated/adored and it has to be their most well known album aside from Errorism?
Their best album, though its been quite a while since I've listened to one of their albums through pure, prefer to mixthem up as to go a long with their great songs, they have a lot of boring ****e! |

I still believe it's quite unknown outside strict punk circles... the album went barely gold. While other albums of similar quality got way more recognition "...And out come the Wolves" hit platinum,"Smash" went 5 times platinum and Dookie went diamond (10 million copies)

Yeah, but both "Smash" and "Dookie" had much more play. They had radio play and their videos in heavy rotation.. and were on a major label to boot. Punk in Drublic for having little play on an indie label was just as important.
It has since only gone platinum, not a huge seller now.... but for it's time, it was a huge success in North America.
