good but not greatfirst of aal i want to apoligise if my english isnt good nut i'm from belgium,europe and we speak dutch.
okay now, as being a huge ltj fan , i own all the albums and this was a hard album to get in.
this cd is totally different from albums like hello rockview anthem, or any other ltj album.
like people who only like ltj since anthem or borders and boundries will msot likely hate this cd. this cd has a more rougher (?) sound. you wont find things like auto tuning on this album. and instead of anthem's pop punk with a little bit of horns, this album is alot more ska, you either hate it or love it. songs are also very short and im sure some have been written in an even shorter time, cause musically this album is a lot of the same. but nevertheless this is a good album if you like true ska-punk ( and thats no punk with horns you idiots!!).
early ltj fans will love this album ( like i do) but new fans will be disappointed and thats why i give this album only
3 stars. The Best Less Than Jake cd!I am a huge fan of Less Than Jake, and I have all of their cds. At first I didn't like this one as much as Losing Streak, but then it grew on me, and now I think this is their best cd. Most of the the songs are more ska and funky (as said) than punk. It has a couple covers, and I especially like the cover of Jenny/867-5309.older and betterwell i've had this for years (the origional on No Idea records thank you very much) and it still notches up regular spinnage. this is basically a compilation of early 7", 10" and comp tracks if you've heard their later stuff you'll know the basic sound, hi energy tuneful ska punk but here it's free of the glossy sanitized production that all the punk bands get these days. twenty songs and everyone a winner from the originals like "where the hell is mike sinkovich?" and "whipping boy" to the covers "laverne and shirley" and "dukes of hazzard" you'll be singing along and jumping all over the place. in a way i feel sad that they've got so big as their new stuff lacks the same energy and fire and after witnessing them live in front of a couple of thousand folk recently it looks like they're doing it punk by numbers. shame. |
