Customer Reviews Like a Best Of Unusually, there are no horns, instead 2 female vocalists. THE BAND: Dance Hall Crashers are a 3rd wave ska band. So this album is a collection of ska and punk songs with a slightly softer edge due to the female vocals. If you like Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake then you should check it out. THIS CD: As for this particular album, the sound quality is excellent so there's no worries that it's a live recording. And the "witless banter" between songs gives it a bit of personality. Yes, the vocals are fast and hard to understand (not unusual for this style), but you can always look them up on the web. 25 tracks means this is like a Best Of. Dance Hall Crasher aficionados will probably want all of their studio albums instead, but most other people will be very happy with this CD. Just as good as if you were seeing them in concert!!! I just bought this CD and absolutely LOVE it!! I saw DHC in concert about 8 years ago in Hawaii and it was one of my all time favorites! This CD really brings back great memories of how GREAT they sound live! It's so upbeat and catchy!. Not a great beginner's CD I am a big fan of groups with intelligent or interesting lyrics (TMBG, Barenaked Ladies, Nerfherder) and used the Amazon recommendation to look into them. This is my first intro to DHC. I figured this would hit their better songs and let me decide if I want to pursue them further. The problem with a live album is that it is harder to understand the lyrics so I am not sure if I would like a studio album since I am such a lyrics fan. They seem like a fun band with lots of energy and would be a good live show. However, I don't like how they drop the F-bomb a lot. Overall, it is likely a very good album for DHC fans but maybe not a good starter's album. .
