Liberal Animation is the debut album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was originally released in 1988 through Wassail Records. It was re-released through Epitaph Records in 1991. The title is a spoonerism of "animal liberation" and the cover artwork is a reflection of that. The track "Shut Up Already" borrows a riff from the Led Zeppelin song "Black Dog". Amateur style music videos were made for the tracks "Shut Up Already" and "Mr. Jones". "Beer Bong" is still occasionally played at concerts.
