album reveiw

Well the other day when I was informing the owner of Siren Records the release date of the new album, he mentioned he had received an advanced copy, so he let me have a listen...

The cover was the basic MMB writing, white background, and had a small pic of the band, Kevin's got long dreads now and Ben looks a little differant. . The first song "Noise Brigade" was a nice ska song and so was "Royal Oil" and "Raskal King". Then #4 was the already released "The Impresion that I Get", a nice Ol' pop song, but catchy. "Lets Face It" was a good song pretty much ska, its one of my favorites. "The Bug That Bit Me" was a melodic strait-ahead rock song song pretty, good. As im listening i notice the differance from all the other albums, and the change is not bad, but i sorta miss the hardcore. #7 is "Another Drinken Song" which starts off sorta jazzy then to ska and gets harder as the song go's on. All the rest of the songs were Melodic, and had some punk and ska.

Over all the album is really good. Very melodic and mostly ska at the begining and not as much horns as QTA. Dicky actually sung, but i liked it when he screams. My Favorites are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12.

3 stars outa 4, 1 and a half thumbs up, and a 8 outa 10.0
