Everything Sucks is the fifth studio album by American punk rock band the Descendents, released in 1996 through Epitaph Records. It was their first album of new studio material since 1987’s All, after which singer Milo Aukerman had left the band to pursue a career in biochemistry. The remaining members (bassist Karl Alvarez, guitarist Stephen Egerton, and drummer Bill Stevenson) had changed the band’s name to All and released eight albums between 1988 and 1995 with singers Dave Smalley, Scott Reynolds, and Chad Price. When Aukerman decided to return to music the group chose to operate as two acts simultaneously, playing with Aukerman as the Descendents and with Price as All.

Well, I guess these guys wouldn’t feel comfortable in a positive thinking seminar. This group is one of the most influential punk bands ever: “The band that put the ‘pop’ in ‘pop punk’,” “the band that made Green Day possible,” etc. This album continues the regrouping of the band with original lead singer Milo and picks up where their classic record Milo Goes to College left off. Their last effort, Somery, has soundscanned 55,000 units. Mixed by Andy Wallace (Rage Against the Machine, Rancid, Nirvana, Screaming Trees), this release includes “Everything Sux” and “This Place Sux” (wouldn’t “this place” be considered part of “everything?”).
