FEESHBONE
Let these positive vibes bore into your skull. How can one go wrong? If there is a way to do so with this release, I don't know about it. This E. P. holds one of the most positive optomistic upbeat vibe songs that I've personally ever heard, gets me stoked, which is "? (Modern Industry)" but you can't really tell this from the short clip here on Amazon, you've got to hear the whole song.


ENERGY!
Eyes bugged out, 'fro discombobulated, couldn't walk straight. Just as on the cover of the record, ENERGY! Keyboards flyin', Saxs' flailin', jumpin', divin', spinnin', these brothas' never stand still! I saw them perform @ Roseland, NYC in 198??? I don't remember what year but I was frightened when I left the show. I should have called EMS on myself! My friend and I were both in high school when (I think it was) MTV played the video. Nope, sorry, it was Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box. "Hey dude----What's Token"? ?(Modern Industry) was the song. They named lots of radio stations in the US. Great, energetic songs!.


Solid EP. We need more music like this!
I went to buy that CD from the used record store down the street, but they didn't have it, so I got Fishbone's s/t album instead. I've owed The Reality of My Surroundings a few years now (it has the best songs I've ever heard from a non-mainstream band), and have heard the hits off Truth & Soul. I had heard "Party at Ground Zero" before, and I've even seen the music video (crazy footage of the band and friends wearing fish heads while anticipating a nuclear war). Anyway, I loved the song with the video, but it's too repetitive without something visual to accompany it. It's still a good song (along with the rest), but I like a prefer many of the others more. My favorites are "Modern Industry" (where Fishbone salute their local radio stations as well as foreign ones from Sweden), the cool and laid-back "Another Generation", and the very funny "Lyin' Ass Bitch" (at first, I didn't realize the lead on the song was female and thought it was Angelo playing around). .


Classic EP
"Ugly" is a good song, with the sophmoric lyrics that pop up at least a couple times per every Fishbone disc. Fishbone began their career correctly with this smoking EP. "Another Generation" is a good midtempo song which songs Fishbone's more serious side, "?" is a disposable novelty, "Party At Ground Zero" is a rock classic, truly a seriously great party song. "V. T. T. L. T. F. D. G. F" is a good rock song, and "Lying" is a funny ska song to close things out.


BONE IN THE USA
I took it to the next level seeing Fishbone live three times from Raleigh, NC (Hot 'lanta) to St. Truly Bone in the USA, I go back to 1986 with this CD to my days as a DJ for my college radio station. Louis, MO (Mississippi Nights). I was taken by the fact that they were something I had longed for all my life, a black band that was not afraid to rock. . . . . Blending rock, reagge/ska and funk with irreverent socio-political undertones this band can best be described as an American equivalent of Madness. Going one step further and giving them their full credit every band which has followed (Living Color, Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt and Red Hot Chili Peppers) all trace their roots back to this EP.
