A-W-S-O-M-EThis cd was great I listened to it for hours and I just was worried about them breaking up but the cd sounds great, not like turn the radio off but like cheer up, I would buy this cd again its not a waste of money:( Such a let-down...While RBF brought be to the ska/punk scene and I basically bleed Aaron and Scott, their newest album is a letdown from what I come to expect as good quality RBF. In the same manner that Less Than Jake's Anthem and B is for B-Sides are slowly becoming worse and worse, I think that this album can only be tolerated by former RBF fans. If youre interested in ska i would listen to Turn the Radio Off first, the Why Do They Rock So Hard?, then Cheer Up!, THEN this albumlike reel big fish, not too ska/punk...but still great music!
if you compare RBF to something like LOC, there's no comparisson. one is ska/punk and the other is ska/rock. there doesnt seem to be a difference but there really is.
what i like about reel big fish is they've always hated the radio and on "cheer up" i believe they showed their hatred for emo.
about them hating the radio, on here they have a song called "turn the radio off" and they have a different album with the same title.
the suprising thing about the CD "turn the radio off" had a one-hit-wonder on it. that song was an anti radio song but it became huge and played on the radio often. ofcourse i'm talkin bout "sellout".
in this cd, they point out that they were a one hit wonder and had some fans that only liked that song. and now i'm refering to their new song "one hit wonderful".
this cd has some instant classics on it and some good covers. possibly the best song on the cd and its probably the shortest song is "your guts, i hate em". EVERYONE laughs when hearing that song.
this a cd you pirating morons should get off your butts and buy. it shouldnt be that hard to find, and if you like ska bands that are like Less Than Jake- you'll more than likely enjoy this cd.
if you're into more ska/punk then you might like this cd and you might not. it all depends if you liked RBF in the past or not. this cd might make some new fans but only those who've never even heard RBF before. it wont get people who hated them to like them.
if you havent heard much stuff from Reel Big Fish before- buy this cd. if you're already a RBF fan- buy this cd. if you didnt like RBF before then maybe listen to it from a friend first or something like that.
i believe most people should buy this cd but you might not wanna buy it off amaazon (its an easy cd to find).
once more (as a closing note)- buy this cd! |
