Total is the second album by the American pop punk band Teenage Bottlerocket. It was released on April 12, 2005, on Red Scare Records. The album was recorded at The Blasting Room by Andrew Berlin and Bill Stevenson. "Radio" and "Blood Bath at Burger King", which were previously released on a split 7-inch with Prototipes, were recorded October 29 and 30, 2004. The rest of the songs were recorded December 18–23, 2004 and January 3–6, 2005.
Three songs that originally appeared on Another Way, the band's previous album, were re-recorded during the Total sessions: "Rebound", which appears on the album, "Be Stag", which only appears on the vinyl version of the album, and "Pull the Plug", which was released on the Take Action! Vol. 5 compilation. Additionally, "Go Away" was also re-recorded for this album, originally appearing on a split 7-inch with Bill the Welder.
Corey Apar for AllMusic says, "Total is right up at the top with the best pop-punk out there...", comparing the band's sound to that of the Ramones. Punknews.org ranked the album at number 18 on their list of the year's 20 best releases.[1]
