Quality Ska - It s a known fact that ska has seen better days. Some even go as far as to say that ska is indeed dead. This album really disproves that statement. Buck-O-Nine has never gotten as big as other 90 s ska bands such as No Doubt, Sublime, and the like. But then again, Buck-O-Nine has earned their title of being one of the few 90 s ska / skacore bands that are still around today. With that being said, this album is, I dare say, one of THE best ska albums to come out in a long, long time. Whether you even consider these guys straight ska or lump them into a smaller sub category, it does not matter. This cd will no doubt make you get up and skank around your room, your house, your cubicle, and will for sure stay in your cd player for a long, long time. Usually you would point out strong songs on an album, but the fact is that almost every single song on this disc is a shoe-stomping good time. This is Buck-O-Nines strongest album, by far. Obviously some fans will disagree, but this album is so great on so many levels, it s just not even funny. I think it s worth it to point out that the bass lines in some songs, notably Lie to Me, Less than Comfortable, and Sailing Away. are killer and really, really bring the songs together. The horns are also some of the catchiest horn lines (or whatever you would call them) that Buck-O-Nine have done in a really long time. Final verdict? This is a must buy for fans of the ska genre, or if you just want a real nice listen, then definately get it. For a better buy, go to asianmanrecords(dot)com, Buck-O-Nines label, and get it from the store there.
