"Duh is a great punk cd thats more in the hardcore era than the newer melodic punk of Lagwagon, i think the main stand out on this cd are the intense lyrics from start to finish they are great even the crazy ones such as beer goggles and Mr coffee (one of my favourites). Seriously if you are a punk whos into Lagwagon this is one of the stand out punk cds that should be in your record collection. Check out inspector gadjet aswell thats just awesome, Duh seems to concentrate more on the hardcore element of punk than there newer more melodic material even if you arent a fan of hardcore punk you will like this as it's more melodic hardcore punk and has the original Lagwagon sound all over it. Duh is full of inspirational and insightful lyrics that are brilliant alone without the music but when you combine the music it's not far off perfect, i'm sure alot of people wont be as keen on Duh but it does represent the birth of a great punk band and the die hard Lagwagon fan should definatley own this and as for anybody new to Lagwagon i would recommened Hoss or Leftovers to Duh. The band tried to stick with the punk on Duh with them joining fat and nearly all the metal that they used to play is not on this record so it's pretty much just a high octane punk album that maintains it's quality throughout. The stand out tracks are Angru days, Mr Coffee, of mind and matter and inspector gadjet. For a first album aswell this is quality especially with them been the joint first band on fat along with NoFx. The only real draw back on the cd is the cover of John Foggertys bad moon rising but you can easily skip one track."

Great early fat release

"Duh is by far one of Lagwagons best cds. It's not as poppy as their newer releases, but without a doubt, it's a classic. The lyrics are awesome and intense. The drumming is amazing, and the guitars are incredible. You can easily hear the band's metal influence. If you're into melodic technical punk, this cd is for you."
