i love reel big fish, i really do, but to put out an entire cd of straight covers, they should probably stick to writing music, their songs are amazing.
Okay, but very disappointing
Unlike many of the other Ska bands that have albums that sound like they were recorded in their garage, RBF has always (at least up till now) created the highest quality and caliber songs. Reel Big Fish is, in my mind, one of the best Ska bands out there.
Their previous album "Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free" had 17 tracks of new material and even their cover song "Another day in paradise" is, in my mind, good enough to where it could've been a chart topper (seriously). There are quite a number of songs on this album that I've listed to over and over and over. . .
The album before that "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album" is amazing. 37 Tracks of high quality, live-style songs with hit after hit, new material, even a DVD of their performances. Well deserving of the 5 star, 22+ reviews on Amazon.
This album is a real disappointment. 10 songs. Yes, Ten. No new material. Half are pretty good but nothing special. The other half sound like they picked a song randomly, ran through it a couple of times and then recorded it. Blah. I seriously believe that they threw this together so they'd have a new album to promote for tours.
I give this album 3 stars because it still has some decent songs that are listen-able, but compared to RBF standards it'd be one star. If this was someone's first RBF album I'd be ashamed.
"A ska/punk version of an '80's song - how original!"
The inclusion of Brown Eyed Girl is an in-joke - for years, Napster and other file sharing services have incorrectly credited Reel Big Fish for pretty much all ska songs. Don't expect anything groundbreaking from this record and you'll enjoy it a lot more. One of the most common mis-credited songs was a cover of Brown Eyed Girl by a band called Fat Cactus.
The songs are pretty standard ska/punk versions of some well-known (and some lesser-known) songs. The highlights are Brown Eyed Girl and Talk Dirty To Me. The lowlights are Won't Back Down and Keep A Cool Head. Monkey Man is almost identical to the version RBF recorded previously. If you like third wave ska's sound, you'll like this.
Different Cover songs!
I applaud RBF for covering some songs that haven't been covered before, but Brown Eyed Girl and Talk Dirty to Me have been covered before by at least two other bands. I love ska cover songs don't get me wrong, but I am tired of bands covering songs that have already been covered by other bands from the same genre of music. Other than that I love RBF's musical sense of humor and live show. Keep up the good work fellas!.
Disappointing Album
Take on me is the best cover. This cd seriously sucks. I was hoping for new material from them. I am very disappointed. .
