"One-Eighty are just an awesome band... I bought this CD, thinking "ahh, they'll be something like the Dance Hall Crashers (who are excellent in their own degree)", but 180 has their own style and are a unique and talented band. Although I don't like too many ska bands with female vocals, Madelyn & Kim harmonize together so perfectly that you can't help but sing along. "405", "Sally" & "Just Like You" are some of my favorites, but every track on "Crackerjack" are spunky and worth the low price amazon.com offers. If you like upbeat and catchy tunes with a twist of awesome lyrics and original vocalists - get this CD!"

In a former life, before "flight"...

"Here's even more proof that ska will never die; especially as far as Christian music is concerned. It's a great combo, though; happy, upbeat music with an uplifting message, and these guys done the kingdom proud. The swingin' debut from the Artists Formerly Known As One Eighty (now Flight 180) has a lot of great songs. Their ska/punk sound is addictingly ultra-cute (mostly 'cause of the two female lead singers), and the horns complement the crankin' guitars quite well. I've found myself humming a chorus or two now and then on the job and such. This musical journey covers all kinds of territory; subjects like road rage ("405"), growing old together ("When We First Dated"), mental misdirection ("Sally"), and the brevity of worldly pleasures make you want to think as well as sing along. They even do an out-of-nowhere cover of the Go-Go's "Vacation" that's red-hot. Flight 180's sound has matured quite nicely over the few years that they've been together; hopefully Amazon will carry this title again soon to give folks a chance to hear these guys' first effort. If you dig the ska/punk sound, this one's a keeper."
