More Betterness! is the fifth studio album by punk rock band No Use for a Name, released in 1999.[5]
"Fairytale of New York" is a cover of The Pogues' original, which features guest vocals from Cinder Block of the band Tilt.
More Betterness! was released in October 1999. No Use for a Name co-headlined the Fat Tour, with the Mad Caddies, in February and March 2000.[6] They embarked on a tour of Australia in June 2000.[7] In November 2001, the band toured Arizona and California with Zero Down, HBA, and Diesel Boy.[8]
Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote that the album "has the requisite guitar harmonics and occasional thrashing drum part, but mostly it is a pop record along the lines of Blink 182."[9] The Los Angeles Times called More Betterness! "the band’s best-regarded full-length."[10] CMJ New Music Report called it "intelligent punk rock" and a "refreshing change of pace."[1] The Washington Post called the album "energetic," but noted that all the songs "tend to sound the same."[11]
