Ska music reviews

If you like Wong Kar-wai, you might like this. I recommend strongly

God Rocket is an awsome band!! They have the up-beat music, combined with an original style created by themselfs. The songs are great, anyone who likes Ska would agree. I belive this band has a huge future ahead...you might as well get on board now!

I've seen these guys for 6 years now, and I was disappointed in hearing that they will soon call it quits. Regardless, if you are reading this, it is your god-given duty to buy this CD. The sound is incredible... not what you would expect from a non-major label recording. The songs are tight, with a great bass and stellar vocals from Thomas Escalante. If you live in a big city, pay close attention to the first track... you will appreciate it. There is not one dud on here... SKA RULES, and so do the Suspects!

From the very beginning of the first track, "From the Start", you can feel the excitement of the soulful four piece horn section. The bright sounds of ska fill your ears and make you tap your toe."Growin Up" is a tune that you cant help but get up and "skank" to. It is obvious that this one of a kind band has the sound of many veteran ska bands such as The Skatalites, Reel Big Fish, and Save Ferris. With front-man Sam Sullivan wailing out the delightful lyrics, the powerful horn section, and the unstoppable rhythm section, Liquid Cheese's "Lost In the Music" is by far one of the most unique albums of this generation.

If you're looking for a group of talented musicians, from all over the ska world (and from as many genres)... contemplate on purchasing this very disc! The title tracks starts it all off, and the ska and reggae just lays itself out before you in vast melodic landscapes. My friend saw em in concert at Oberlin, and they're some of the nicest people she's ever met! If you're looking for third wave, go elsewhere... this is where it all started (well a new era of traditional anyway)

This band knows what they are doing and their first album proves it. I first heard Magadog on the Skarmageddon compilation and decided to give them a try for a full album. I'm sure glad I did because from the first song (Monkey in the Whitehouse) all the way through, this album is catchy and delightfuly skankorific!! I definitely suggest it to anyone who likes ska and needs a new band to listen to.

Magadog is on fire with their self-titled album... Magadog is a must for any mod or rudi and you'll know you've heard them before on a comp if you haven't ever heard of them. That's because a few songs from the self-titled album like Monkey in the Whitehouse and their cover of Brown-Eyed Girl are notorious for being on Ska comps. The album varies in tempo giving a sort of summary of what you'd expect to hear from Magadog live.

Smash Mouth Rocks! So does this Cd. This Cd is a must buy for all Smash Mouth Fans! Especially fans like me. Even though this Cd doesn't have much music, it helps you to understand why Smash Mouth is who there are, and how they got that way. If you like to know how Smash Mouth was formed and where they came from buy this Cd! SMASH MOUTH RULES!

Mest is so cool. I like the song "Jaded (These Years" Feat. Benji Madden from Good Charlotte. The song sounds sad, then happy, excited, and then at the end you just want to scream for five seconds and listen to it again! The lead singer is Tony, for all you guys who didn't know. Some other dude sings one of the songs and then he does back vocals. I forgot his name.....oh well! Great cd!

This is an awesome album, mest is so cool!!! Benji Madden frm/gc playz guitar in 1 o/the songz-jaded(these yearz) Benji is so cool!! i luv the leed singer of mestz vioce!!! hez awesome, i dont no hiz name though, any of u guyz no-pleez tell me if u do. these guyz r reely cool, itz 2 bad they swear so much, though- get the clean album. a lot of people will try 2 make u h8 stuff, just cuz they do, but dont listen 2 them- if they dont like mest-then they'r reely MESTup!!!

How many times have you been asked, "Here, give this CD a whirl, you'll really like it", only to find mediocrity at its finest. That seemed to be what was going to happen with this CD. I was a little apprehensive about listening to this SKA CD, figuring it was going to be a 'follow a no talent, college underground, it's cool to like SKA for no reason other than everyone else in college listens to SKA' band.

I was pleasantly surprised! The overall quality of the music on this CD is superb. 'Miss Fortune' is an addicting CD. I find myself spinning it often. The songs are upbeat. 'Miss Fortune' is well laid out. My favorite track is 'Girl in My Kitchen' which is about a morning after with a hangover and girl who make breakfast after a what was going to be a one night stand (At least that's how I interpreted it).

Listening to the CD, I can tell Dave's Big Deluxe has fun with the songs. They are serious about their music but do not take themselves too seriously; a trait not normally found in much of today's music.

Now I find myself one of those people asking others to give it a spin, hoping they don't set up the same prejudice I did.
