So, it's not just traditional ska, nor is it reggae, nor is it punk, nor rock n' roll, nor drum and bass. A lot of critics have stated this album is a travesty since it's so far from ska. Well, if you really listen you hear ska or reggae in every song. In fact, I recommend you do just that- give it a listen. Tons of incredible tunes all over this bad boy.
Plenty of horns are present and some real tight musical talent.
More along the lines of Less Than Jake than the traditional ska bands. I was quite disappointed in this one unfortunately. His first album was great. When I compiled the first album, I was conscious of selecting tracks that sounded great on their own, created a strong sense of album, and would be sure to please folks in the nouveau-retro scene. Although I had dozens of tracks recorded, I only found eight that stood up to all those criteria.
