Buy this CD, please
A good mix of Ska and Rock that leans more toward the Ska side, (Cheer Up! Is more rock, TTRO more ska)the songs are almost all upbeat and unbelievably catchy. This a great disc, probably the best intro to Ska and Reel Big Fish there is. The fist time you hear songs like "She's Famous Now" and "The Set-Up," they will be stuck in your head for weeks. Plenty of people say that this band is "starter" ska, because they can produce fans who will then get into other ska bands. But as a former ska-head, I can say that they are one of very few bands in the genre that I still want to listen to after expanding my horizons. . . the qualities that make them "starter," such as their catchiness and connections to other genres of music, make them a band for everyone to listen to. This CD was not made by some kids trying to cash in on the late 1990s ska trend. This was made by actual professional musicians. It's good music that a huge base of fans should be able to appreciate.


RBF rocks, literally
Not only are the lyrics catchy, the songs also include some great hooks (guitar riffs, horn lines, ect. If you are new to ska, RBF is a great band to start with. ). This album is not just ska, it contains many elements of different styles, including: some Jazz, a bit of punk, a spit of 80's retro, and even a tny tiny dose of rap. The songs are fast, loud, and make you want to sing and maybe even skank (that's a dance for ska). This album is a first pedestal for a ska fan, a must have if you will. So in conclusion buy this album.


This is a great CD
Its a seriosly cool CD. If you want to buy this CD, do it. Anything done buy The RBF is cool. And even if you dont like it, you can say you have it and hang out with other really cool RBF fans. Listen to me. They are the ONLY people you should be hanging with. And becides, its a cool CD anyways. You got nothing to lose. Oh, and while your on AMIZON. COM, go over to the BSB page and right a bad review. :-).


Pilfer's Reel Big Fish is gonna start your party now . . .
Ska doesn't get better than Reel Big Fish . These guys are hysterical. . . and maybe everybody DOES play guitar, but Aaron Barrett's vocals and lead guitar and Scott's back-up vocals and goofy charisma lend this album and all RBF albums the origionality, sarcasm, and vitality that the cynics of the party world love. So let the rhythm get you dancin' . . .


I highly recommend this CD
This is a great cd I highly recommend this to anyone who likes great ska music.
