Composition
Much of the album is characterized by the pop-punk music and humorous lyrics for which the band is known.
Although regular Vandals drummer Josh Freese is credited as a band member and appears in band photos in the album's liner notes, he was unavailable to play on the album due to other musical commitments. The band therefore called on regular substitute Brooks Wackerman, who had filled in for Freese on several occasions as a touring drummer. Wackerman himself is an accomplished drummer who would join Bad Religion the following year. The album also features guest appearances by Dexter Holland of The Offspring (who also co-wrote "Jackass"), Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, musician/actor/screenwriter Scott Aukerman, and members of the New Jersey band Bigwig.
Release
Look What I Almost Stepped In... was released in August 2000. In October, the band embarked on a tour of the UK, with support from the Ataris and Bigwig.[4] Between June and August 2001, the group performed on the Warped Tour.[5] Later in the month, the band played three shows in the UK as part of the Extreme 2001 festival.[6]

Look What I Almost Stepped in... è l'ottavo album studio della band punk rock The Vandals e l'ultimo pubblicato con la Nitro Records. Sebbene venga accreditato come batterista Josh Freese in realtà i pezzi di batteria del disco sono stati suonati tutti da Brooks Wackerman, sostituto di Freese in numerose altre occasioni visti i molteplici impegni del batterista titolare, che l'anno successivo entrerà nei Bad Religion.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
