By far the most terrible Reel Big Fish cd.
I get sick and tired of their negativity and foul lyrics. I think one reel big fish album is enough for anybody. If any of their albums I would recommend Turn the Radio Off, because it has the least amount of poorly done songs.


The Early Years, and it shows.
That being said, this cd is not their best. Reel Big Fish is the best band ever, and they should rule the world. I really believe that the band's inexperience shows in this album.

THE HIGHS:
+The overall sound of the album is more of a punk sound. Even though it does not deserve to be called punk, in its self, it is faster and louder than The Fish's latter work.
+The horn section is extremely prominent, and well inter-webbed the rest of the music.
+Classic RBF!
+Its Reel BIG Fish!

THE LOWS:
-A few of the songs are definite fillers.
-The songs which were re-recorded for other discs, don't sound near as good on this album.
-Some of the songs sound like crap-"Trendy" sounds waaay better on 'Turn The Radio Off', on a couple of the songs it doesn't even sound like the band has ever played together in their lives.
-The horn section is very loose.

OVERALL:

A good album from Reel Big Fish. It could have used alot of re-mastering and overdubbing. But it is really fun to listen to the early sound of then poor band which now is a great band with a little more money to spend on production. A little faster and less serious effort then the post "Sell-Out" RBF. And i mean 'less serious' in a good way.

A Must for Reel Big Fish fans.


Good CD
I really like it. This is a very good CD. But the only reason that I rated it a 4 outta 5 is because it has crappy sound quality. My least favorite of RBF for that reason.

Child eats dog - you ain't seen the cover!

This albumn does have so much on it it's hard to know were to begin. Everything Sucks! - By Reel Big Fish. Well first off you should know this band are a Ska Punk band and therefore you shouldn't buy it unless you like that style of music. Sounds like a more angry and faster amercanised version of Madness! Lots of fast guitar, trombones, Saxaphone and Trumpets.

The Songs:

I'm Cool
Join the Club
Call you
Hate You
I'll never be
Boyfriend
Fo'Head
Trendy
Skatanic
Why Do All Girls Think they're fat
Say "Ten"
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too
Jig
Go away
Beer
Snoop Dog, Baby
Big ****in' Star
**** Yourself
Spin The Globe
I'm her man
Super Hero #5

I'll describe my favourite songs :-

'Hate You' has a lyric that i'd love to tell so many people "I hate you, F**k You, leave me alone!". But seriously I mean it is quite truthful that you would want to say so many things that you just end up not bothering to get round to or having the arrogance.

"I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too!" Now I definetly want to say that to some people. This song is funny, and at a medium pace compared to the rest of the albumn. Not a ballad by a long shot but nice enough to tap your foot to, if you don't really listen to the lyrics it's a nice tune, but be warned the lrics are hilarious!

"Beer" This song is an ode to all of those guys out there that have bother with a girl and turn around and say " Oh well lets get Pissed!" I'm definetly one of those guys so I can relate very well to this song! The guitar in this song is excellent and the opening riff is one of the best on this albumn. The lyrics are truthful and straight to the point, with nice lyrics rather than the obscene screaming of a hard rock band! Unrequited Love is a hard thing to accept but this song gladly points out that to take the pain away there's always Beer!

"**** Yourself" Self explanatory title. The reason this song makes me smile so much is that if my ex-girlfriend ever listens to this albumn i'd just like her to know that this song is definetly written with me and my thoughts about her in mind. The line "One day you'll come back to me and I'll say why don't you why don't you go and F**k Yourself!" is a taster of how high an opinion I have of my ex.

Come to think of it this whole albumn is rather negative about girls in general, I think target audience is young guys with out a care in the world! This albumn is only available on import in the uk at the moment and therefore is quite expensive but seriously worth it as you do get 21 tracks and an enhanced cd to play the video on your computer! Contact me if your having trouble finding it and I'll gladly let you know where to pick up a copy! anyway hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
