All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt

All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt is the tenth and final studio album by Vancouver punk rock band Nomeansno.

The album marked a return to shorter and more conventional songs than their previous efforts, Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie (1998) and One (2000).

[2] The band began rehearsing a batch of new songs for their tenth album in 2004, around the time of touring in support of The People's Choice.

The new songs contained more songwriting input from drummer John Wright than those on the band's previous albums, which more typically have been dominated by his brother Rob (vocals and bass guitar).

But we thought, Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie was a very obscure album and not our greatest effort, so Ausfahrt was like, let's do some short songs, 10 or 12 on the album, and keep it under 50 minutes, and just try to do something rocking...the group of songs we chose for Ausfahrt, it had a kind of flow – not earth shattering or really deep but that was a fairly conscious effort to do something that was a little more accessible.

[10] Similarly, PopMatters critic Ed Huyck praised the band's legacy but assessed the album as "extremely competent" but only "sometimes compelling" in a lukewarm review.
