Buzzcocks is the seventh studio album by English pop punk band Buzzcocks. It was released on 18 March 2003 by record label Merge in the US and Cherry Red in the UK.

Critical reception

Buzzcocks has received a mixed-to-favourable response from critics. AllMusic opined, "If Buzzcocks doesn't reinvent this band, it does give their approach a bit of an overhaul, and the results make for an album which holds onto their strengths while lending a more mature perspective to their work; hard to imagine Rancid having anything this interesting up their sleeve twenty-seven years down the line from their first recording." Entertainment Weekly's review was favourable, writing "it's nice to hear that middle age hasn't diminished the songwriting skills of original 'Cocks Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle."

Stylus Magazine, on the other hand, gave the album their lowest possible score of F, opining that the album sounds like "third-generation Green Day".
