Synopsis

Amazon.com

Virtually an institution after a decade on the scene, Boston's finest ska band continues to deliver an extreme adrenaline rush on its fifth album, which was produced by Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade. The metal edge in the Bosstone's particular brand of skacore comes further to the forefront this time, while songs such as "Noise Brigade" and "Royal Oil" rank among the catchiest they've recorded. And Nate Albert continues to carve out a new role for the guitar in ska-influenced music. Jim Derogatis

Good stuff. This band basically started the big band resurgance of the mid-late 90's.

CD Reviews

When ska meets swing, and trust me folks the results are won

Rex Marksmanson | Long Island, New York | 01/04/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An amazing sound from an amazing band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Lets face it" was one of the most impressive albums to be released in the year of 1997. Most people know these guys from their hit single "The Impression That I Get"(amazing song), but there are so many more great songs you will discover if you give this album a listen. Songs such as "Noise Brigade", "Royal Oil", "Lets face it", "Another Drinkin' Song" & "Numbered days" will bring a smile to the average ska fans face. Just a great album overall, it deserves every one of those five stars I've given it."

Clever lyrics are the key.

"I don't know if this is a typical CD from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (my first one) but the quality of the lyrics made me want to check out others. The Ska beat is partnered with some clever commentary on race relations ("Let's Face It") and violence in our daily lives ("Nevermind Me" Numbered Days")They appear to be a band willing to try to say something while not forgetting to entertain. A rare combination in today's music."

A happy island in a sea of grunge

Mike Smith | Albuquerque, NM | 10/19/2005

"I own very little ska, and this is the only Mighty Mighty Bosstones album I've ever bought, but I frequently find myself in the mood to hear this.

This is feel-good, be-happy, get-up-and-dance music. The lyrics are socially relevant and clever, the guitar and drums are good, and the horns are terrific. I challenge anyone to listen to "Noise Brigade," "The Rascal King," or "The Impression That I Get" and not jump out of their seat and dance.

My daughter's only three months old, but this is already her favorite CD--she gets happy and laughs whenever it comes on."

"Let's Face It"...

""...this album rocks"The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are my favorite band so perhaps im a bit biased towards them, but when i first got this album, i didnt like it very much and found myself trying to like it...However, my musical tastes have changed, and this cd got me to buy 6 other Bosstone albums, all of which i have found amazing...onto the reviewThis is w/o a doubt the catchiest, poppiest of the bosstones albums, w/the hugely popular single "The Impression That I Get"...while it is more mainstream than their other efforts, it is still a great albumsongs like "noise brigade", "the rascal king", and "the impression that i get" show the Bosstones playing upbeat ska w/great horns...the guitar playing on this cd is great, just listen to the guitar solo on "Desensitized" for proof...Dicky Barrett doesnt use the growling delivery hes known for very much on this album, opting for a smoother voice, but it works w/the brand of ska/punk on this album...his lyrics are very good, w/some powerful messages in songs like "lets face it" "another drinkin song" and "numbered days"...this album is anthemic ska at about its finest, youll find yourself full of energy when listening, and youll be singing along, guaranteed...its great ska, mainstream or not...a great intro to the Bosstones, or great for fans of ska/punk"

One of my favorite CDs

"This CD has some of the best tracks by the Bosstones. Royal Oil and The Impression that I Get are both excellant songs. The bosstones are one of the best if not the best punk/ska band ever. Melodic Guitar riffs along with blaring horns and deep vocals make an excellant CD. I like Lets Face It more than any of the Bosstones' early CDs. Its to bad that they are no longer together. I would have liked them to make another CD like this one."
