Charge!!
Charge!! is the fifth album by The Aquabats. The album marked the band's debut on Nitro Records, and was followed by their first national tour in several years. The album was very similar in sound to the previous year's EP, Yo, Check Out This Ride!. Thematically, it continued the band's satire of the music "scene," from the beginning with the song "Fashion Zombies!", which lampoons emo. Another major theme that was explored on the album, as on many of their other albums, was the pressure and awkwardness of adolescence. "Nerd Alert!" is an affirmation and rallying cry for nerds and outcasts, while "Hot Summer Nights (Won't Last Forever)!" is a ballad sung from the perspective of someone who doesn't realize that the girl he's dating never wants to speak to him again. Though the crew has thinned out since the band's last full length, the superhero and fantasy elements are still present. "Mechanical Ape!", "Stuck in a Movie!", and "Tiger Rider vs. the Time Sprinkler" are examples of the silly subjects the band has become known for. The album finishes with "Awesome Forces!" a superhero anthem reminiscent of "Super Rad" or "Theme Song" from The Fury of the Aquabats!.
