All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt is a 2006 album by influential Canadian punk rock band NoMeansNo.

Overview

The album featured a set of songs that were generally shorter than average for Nomeansno; the band consciously wrote an album in this style in reaction to several of their previous albums. Drummer John Wright remarked:

After One had come out, which was a fairly, well, not really dark album, but it was a "sit and listen to on your own" kind of record. With the longer songs, especially with "Bitches' Brew", I really enjoyed that and was really happy with it. I think it is one of our stronger records. But we thought, Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie was a very obscure album and not our greatest effort, so Ausfahrt was like, let's do some short songs, 10 or 12 on the album, and keep it under 50 minutes, and just try to do something rocking...the group of songs we chose for Ausfahrt, it had a kind of flow - not earth shattering or really deep but that was a fairly conscious effort to do something that was a little more accessible.[2]
