These Fat Music complications are always good ones. This is a duplicate of one I already have. The CD case has a crack on the cover but otherwise the everything is there and in good shape.

A Must have CD for Fat Wreck Chords Fans!!!

"Fat Music For Fat People is the first compilation put out by Fat Wreck Chords. It was previously only available through mail order, but I hear it's now available in stores even though it was originally released about 4 years ago. Underground decay :( Reguardless, it's an awesome CD with foot thumping music from reputable bands like Propagandhi, NUFAN, Lagwagon, Face to Face, Good Riddance, Tilt ,and of course NoFX's version of Eddie Murphy's "Kill all the White Men." This song will bring a grin to NoFX fans. The Tilt tune is actually demo, it's pretty awesome, no wonder Fat snatched 'em from Lookout!. All of these bands are cool, some better than others. Anti-Manifesto by Propagandhi is so good it could have supported the five stars for the whole CD! I would recommend this CD to all punkers that enjoy the new school sound."

"I bought this disc a few years ago. It was on the counter at the check out for dirt cheap and I thought "what the heck. I'll give it a shot." I loved every minute of it. Then I lost it. Missed it so much that I'm buying another."
One of two fat comps worth bothering with.

"I remember buying this and thinking how brilliant the short lived band guns and wan*ers sound on this near perfect cd, there are only really about 3 throw away tracks on fat music for fat people which are stung outs in harms way, 88 fingers louies track blink and of course NOFX's kill all the white man which is my opinion so dont get all cynical. Even the tilt track sounds good on this fat comp and thats a welcome rareity so if you're going to pick any fat comps up my advice would be this one and live fat die young which is probably a little bit better than this one but it's cheap and value for money."
Ahhh how i love compliations

"Compliations always seem to get the best reviews. and it's warranted. My sister handed me this cd to buy when we were in a used record store, and i haven't regretted every penny of the 8 bucks i put down for it. Propaghandi's Anti-Manifesto assaults your ears the minute your cd starts playing. then comes one of the most witty, blatantly honest Lagwagon songs i've ever heard- Know it All. The rest of the songs follow suit, but the stand outs are United Cigar by Good Riddance, You've Got a Problem by Face to Face and Blink by 88 Fingers Louie. But the closing song is perhaps the best closing song to a compliation that i've heard in a long time. It is Kill All the White Men by NOFX. This song has come to be the reigning anthem between me and my Ethiopian friend, and a favorite party song whenever i have a shakedown at my house. If you can find it, buy it, once you go punk, you'll never go mainstream again."
A kickass punk compilation.

"This is possibly the best of the Fat cd's, and one of my favorite punk compilations. "Anti-manifesto"... well, let's just say i'd buy the CD if it were the only song on there. "United Cigar" and "In Harm's Way" are terrific songs from great bands (Good Riddance and Strung Out). And "Mr. Coffee" is one that wakes me up every morning. If you're a fan of any of the bands on here, buy this CD. It's well worth the money, and you won't be disappointed."
