| |
| YouÆre Welcome is the debut solo album from Cokie the Clown, AKA, |
| Mike Burkett, AKA, Fat Mike from NOFX. But make no mistake this is |
| not a NOFX album. This isnÆt NOFX-lite or some weird iteration of |
| the wackiness that we all know and love. Thisà this is something |
| else entirely. |
| |
| Lars von Trier once said that a film should be like a rock in a |
| shoe. And thatÆs exactly what this album is. ItÆs uncomfortable |
| and abrasive, raw and painful. In fact, itÆs kind of an unpleasant |
| experience. And while that sounds like a bad thing, itÆs really |
| not. This is an invitation inside the mind of one of punk rockÆs |
| most infamous icons. You could say that itÆs almost |
| auto-biographical, snapshots into the moments that shaped MikeÆs |
| life in sad and often confronting ways. |
| |
| YouÆre Welcome features a number of collaborators including Travis |
| Barker (you know who he is), Dizzy Reed of Guns NÆ Roses (remember |
| them?), and Baz û the genius behind the orchestral cover of NOFXÆs |
| The Decline. It was also produced by Danny Lohner whose resume |
| includes Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle and even freakinÆ |
| Eminem. So, thereÆs certainly some talent behind the scenes here, |
| but at the end of the day MikeÆs own voice is what takes centre |
| stage û not just literally, but stylistically too. All of the |
| musical choices here are very low key, never aiming to really |
| actively hook into you, but to guide you through the moments û |
| almost like a soundtrack. |
| |
| While this record is certainly new ground for Mike, it definitely |
| feels connected to the territory NOFX explored with First Ditch |
| Effort (2016). The record tackled more personal issues and was |
| much less aggressive than releases they had put out in the past. |
| Mike also shifted his vocal style slightly for that record, |
| adopting a slightly more direct approach to his lyrics, which is |
| exactly where he goes with this record. But that directness is |
| pretty much the extent of the similarities. Because direct is what |
| the album is. Hell, thereÆs barely single simile used, let alone a |
| metaphor. Mike is upfront with every dark and disturbing memory he |
| brings up. And Mike certainly brings up a lot of painful memories. |
| From a song about literally killing his own mother, to songs about |
| his failed relationships û it can be a tough listen. |
| |
| But thereÆs beauty in the pain. The compositions are subtly |
| exquisite, and no two songs sound remotely similar to each other. |
| The arrangements vary remarkably, from acapella to piano to guitar |
| and drums û it never repeats itself and is always going in |
| different directions. Even when revisiting æDown with the ShipÆ |
| from the 2012 NOFX album, Self Entitled, the record sticks to its |
| very unique guns and turns a relatively upbeat song into something |
| haunting. |
| |
| Overall this isnÆt the record for everybody. Even die-hard NOFX |
| fans are going to be taken aback by what Mike has accomplished |
| with YouÆre Welcome. ItÆs rare for someone to be this honest and I |
| wouldnÆt be surprised if itÆs something that doesnÆt resonate that |
| well with everyone. But if you turn it on and listen youÆll be in |
| for something real. And in 2019 real is something we probably |
| need. This might not be the Fat Mike record you want, but itÆs the |
| one you deserve. ItÆs a big oversize rock in a big oversize clown |
| shoe and itÆs not going to be ignored. For me, itÆs something |
| special, but your mileage may vary. Enjoy. |
