On 11 March 2002, The Frustrators released Achtung Jackass, on the Adeline Records label. "Bonus Track" is recorded backwards.[2]
A reviewer at AllMusic described the album as "an enjoyable combination of new wave and bratty, goofball punk", with the song "My Best Friend's Girl" pegged as "setting the tone for the record" and showing "the band's ability to earnestly incorporate the diverse catchiness of new wave that makes it so true blue".[3]
