lilillllliilliilllliiililillll Every song on this album is great. I'm partial to Acheron River. BTW, I do not hope these f**kers choke. Favorite track: Acheron River.

released January 28, 2014

I was born and I died, and just a moment went by.

Metropole was recorded at Atlas Studios in the late spring of 2013. Engineered by Matt Allison and Justin Yates. Mixed at Atlas in the summer of 2013 by Matt Allison.

Cover art and layout by David Holtz. Photos by Ben Pier. All songs written by the Lawrence Arms. All ambient sounds and instrumental interludes are real, spontaneous sounds we just happened to pass on the street, captured by the Lawrence Arms anywhere between Milan and Vegas over the spring and summer of 2013 (yup. There was really a guy playing a grand piano on the street. And the guy playing the horn that’s at the beginning of Acheron River was so drunk he was laying on his back in the middle of road at night while he played).

The Lawrence Arms have always been:
Neil Hennessy
Brendan Kelly
Chris McCaughan

Thanks to Brett Gurewitz, Corrie Christopher, Fat Mike, Erin Burkett, Mike Park, Matt Allison, Toby Jeg, David Holtz, Ben Pier, Justin Yates, Matt, Jeff, Sue, and all at Epitaph and Kings Road, Vanessa Burt and everyone at Fat, all of the TLA road crew past and present, Mike Petryshyn, Jeff Eaton, Genevieve Benedetti, the McCaughan Family, Wyatt, Pepper and Abi Kelly, Isaac Thotz, Joe Sirois, Alfred Hitchcock, and all y’all that hung out and waited forever for us to get it together and all of you who are just jumping aboard. We couldn’t do it without you. Well, we could, but it would blow. Let’s get a beer or something.

Will somehow managed to make it sound like the band was playing in an empty bar. Maybe that's what they were going for? (I wouldn't be surprised) luna_m

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

NOFX only get better. I will fight anyone on this. And that Big Drag music video? HOLY SHIT!?!?!? That was maybe the best cartoon version of reincarnation that I haver ever seen. Much love to Fat, NOFX and the whole crew. -Richard Dee Vine (Niacin Library) AZ Richard Dee Vine
