I Don't Want to Grow Up

Following a brief hiatus while frontman Milo Aukerman attended university, the Descendents returned with <i>I Don’t Want to Grow Up</i>, a slam dunk that built on the sturdy melodies and unfettered nerdiness of their classic debut. Amusingly puerile wisecracks like "Pervert" and "No FB" justify the album’s title, but songs like “Silly Girl” and “Good Good Things” reveal the loneliness lurking behind Aukerman’s childish one-liners, making for an album that both pokes fun at and embraces maturity in the same dogged breath.
