Liberal Animation

Liberal Animation is the debut album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was originally released in 1988 through Wassail Records, which was Fat Mike's label before Fat Wreck Chords. Brett Gurewitz produced the record, and even offered to release it on his label, Epitaph Records. The band decided to self-release it instead. It was re-released through Epitaph Records in 1991 with all new artwork. The title is a spoonerism of "animal liberation" and the cover artwork is a reflection of that. Bassist/Singer, Fat Mike has stated many times that he thinks it's the worst NOFX album. He wrote the majority of the album on a guitar he bought from Lynn Strait of Snot.[2] The track "Shut Up Already" borrows a riff from the Led Zeppelin song "Black Dog". It is the only full length album by NOFX to feature Dave Cassilas on guitar. Amateur style music videos were made for the tracks "Shut Up Already" and "Mr. Jones."

Personnel
gollark: Purely visual (in the display) I think.
gollark: But, when I go into/out of a compact machine, the numbers have changed.
gollark: So, normally it doesn't update at all, basically.
gollark: When I do that, the number is different, but it's not changing live.
gollark: When I go into and out of a compact machine, and when I reenter/leave the world.
