Achtung Jackass era

[edit]

On 11 March 2002, the Frustrators released Achtung Jackass on the Adeline Records label. "Bonus Track" is recorded backwards.[2]

A reviewer[_who?_] at AllMusic[_unreliable source?_] described the album as "an enjoyable combination of new wave and bratty, goofball punk", with the song "My Best Friend's Girl" pegged as "setting the tone for the record" and showing "the band's ability to earnestly incorporate the diverse catchiness of new wave that makes it so true blue".[3]
