It was on "Falling Apart," off Lagwagon's 2005 full-length Blaze, that frontman Joey Cape first committed the word 'railer' to tape, but in fact it's a term that the California band has been using for a long time amongst themselves. Now it's become the title of the influential punk five-piece's ninth album. As Cape explains, Railer is "a funny word from childhood that means silly bad, like lame" and it captures the sense of throwback that flows throughout it's 12 songs. Unlike the last few Lagwagon albums, Railer was written in an incredibly condensed period of time, in an attempt to capture the spirit of the band's early days. And it worked. While songs like "Stealing Light," "Dangerous Animal" and "Dark Matter" bristle with a raw, ragged and pure energy that's unusual for any band to have after almost 30 years of existence, these tracks also directly harken back to the band's early days. Review: A great come back from a great band - Always loved lag wagon and grew up with fat punk rock. This album is a return to what made lag wagin great. Joey sings higher again for one and there are more riffs here like in the ild days*trashed,hoss,duh* really a journey of what lag wagon is...a great punk band. It's impressive after so many years to release an album like this and I'm so happy to see it(like face to face 😎)if you are listening to them for the first time,this album wouldn't be a bad place to start. Review: Another great album... - Another great album from the lag. Finally saw them live last year after following them since Duh. One of the best shows of my life. This album is fantastic and the Journey cover is a nice surprise. Check it!

2nd superb album in a row with Lil Joe on Bass, great follow up to Hang
My 3rd favorite Lagwagon album, so awesome, Lil Joe (RKL)was a great addition to the band. His Bass Playing Barnone and is so present in every song, just a superd showcase of musicianship from all members and Joey's vocals are in top form! Kudos Gents

Done it again!
It may have been 5 years since their last album but it was worth the wait. Joey and the boys are in red hot form (again). There are few albums these days that you can listen to from start to finish without either skipping tracks or wishing they were not on there. You'll be glad to hear, in my opinion, this is not one of them. Lyrics that are always well thought out and occasionally provocative, Lagwagon have the safety net of being on an independent label so there's no interference from corporate bosses that like to tone things down. Surviving California is a great example, focusing on the homeless and divide between rich and poor. Couple censor free lyrics with great tunes and there's a perfect description of one of the best punk bands you're ever likely to hear. Pop punk has it's roots in bands like these, if you want to hear how it should be done properly then check out this album/band.

Geil, Lagwagon! Was soll man sagen? Es ist eine neue CD, sie kommt in den meisten Fällen unbeschadet beim Käufer an... aber darum geht's hier nicht. Es ist die neue Scheibe von Lagwagon, darum geht's. Ich muss gestehen, ich habe bis kurz vor der Veröfffentlichung nichts davon mitgekriegt. Umso gespannter war ich, als ich sie dann vorbestellt hatte. Und das Cover verrät schon, was das Thema ist: Old School. Lagwagon at its best. Wer "Hoss" kennt, wird begeistert sein. Aber auch die Leute, die Lagwagon schon immer gut fanden, werden bedient. Ich zähle mich zu diesen Leuten. Von den Neuerscheinungen diesen Jahres ist dies eine der besten. Das sage ich als langjähriger Lagwagon-Fan. Hang war schon ziemlich gut, diese Scheibe ist besser. Kein Konzept-Album, einfach nur eine Aneinanderreihung geiler Songs. Ohne Pausen. Anmachen, durchhören, glücklich fühlen. :)

Me gustó bastante este álbum, esta potente, pegajoso, melancólico, vale la pena, de los últimos trabajos es el que más me ha gustado.

A real gem.
Its crazy that after 30 years a punk band can still put out an album this fantastic. Its the best Lagwagon album since.... well thats just the thing, I'd argue this album is about a strong as anything they've done. The classic manic beat changes and over the top riffage are as strong as ever, but IMO the lyrics are better on this one than many of their classic albums. Joey always could write good songs, but rarely a whole album this good.
