Nod's Tacklebox o' Fun is a various artists compilation album released in 1999 by Re-Constriction Records.

Reception

Aiding & Abetting gave it a mixed review, saying "the same incoherent mix of covers (everything from "MMMBop" to "Ice Ice Baby" to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" to "Diamonds are Forever"), the same sorts of bands. The same mixed results." Chris Best of Lollipop Magazine agreed, saying "while not great, the concept is fun and so are the covers." Ink 19 claimed that "this disc isn’t something that you'll listen to that much farther down the road, but for now, it’s certain to leave you in hysterics."
