More Noise and Other Disturbances

More Noise and Other Disturbances is the second studio album by the American band the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It was released in 1992 by Taang! Records. It was a hit on college radio. "Where'd You Go" was released as a single.

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that the horns "are the most stylistically consistent thing on the album, which hops across a variety of bouncy or slamming genres, from the hardcore of 'Guns and the Young' to the hip-hop of 'Bad in Plaid'." The Deseret News deemed More Noise and Other Disturbances "a bristling mix of punk rock, rock, funk and ska."

Tiny Mix Tapes called the album, along with Question the Answers, "the band’s best work," and wrote that they both "[hold] up surprisingly well."
