'' is the sixth
Album by
Bowling For Soup . It was released on
September 14 2004 . The first single, "1985", quickly became a Top 40 staple, peaking at #5 on
Billboard 's Adult Top 40 chart. Never a fan of the empty track, Bowling packed this album with a whopping 25 before yielding a live, drunk "Ohio" and a boy-band inspired recut of "Belgium".
