Anyone who loves ska will like this album. A CLASSIC. Shows how ska can be funny, creative and yet very entertaining. The rapid two-tone beat is sure to move your feet. Buy it before any other album of MP!!!!!!! You'll thank me!

Ska music used to only exisist on the east and west coasts. Now, from Michigan comes Mustard Plug. They have catchy, fast ska songs that you end up singin' along with no matter how hard you try. My favorite song in particular is "Too Stoopid" which has humorous lyrics, as well as great sound. They are a great live band, and the "Big Daddy Multitude" captures some of their energy. This record came highly recommended to me, and I love it too. You might also like to check out MU330, Superdot, and Gangster Fun......

The use of heavy punk lyrics and music is enforced by the trumpet stylings and brass sound. This is almost a harder version of such bands as The Mighty Bosstones and Skaovie and the Epitones.

Mustard Plug is one of my favorite "third wave" ska bands and "Big Daddy Multitude" is my favorite CD of theirs. In their particular take on "third wave" ska, Mustard Plug fused the up-tempo ska beat and horns with a full throttle, high energy, punk sensibility. This is very infectious, feel good music that is likely to bring a smile to your face and make you want to get up and dance--or at least bounce up and down in your chair and tap your foot. Don't look for a lot of meaning in the lyrics on this CD, however, as the songs generally are very silly and superficial, which underscores their purpose, which is to provide some good natured fun in a high octane, ska influenced package. Highly recommended.

This is one of Mustard Plug's first albums, and one of their best...if you're a fan of Mustard Plug, and of ska...buy this album now...

This is one of the top ska albums of all time. The guitar riffs, horns, and songs are all so darn catchy and very "skankable". There is not one song on here i disliked. They are all so fun and loud and upbeat. Some of my personal favorites are... Ball Park Skank, Thigh-High Nylons, Too Stoopid, and others. I definately recomend this to any ska fan.

Mustard plugs first album is definatley one of the funniest albums i've heard but does'nt live up to prey for mojo or evildoers beware, the stand out tracks on big daddy multitude have got to be too stupid, Mr smiley and i made love to a martian (which is actually quite disturbing when you hear i made love to a martian coming out of your stereo). This album has got quite a few tracks (of length) on it which shows that aswell as this band having quality in their albums they also tend to include quality which is an added bonus to an already good band, to go back to what i said earlier prey for mojo includes tracks like someday right now which to be honest wipes the floor with a few of these tracks and evildoers beware has tracks like box and miss Michigan etc... so i'd choose those albums before big daddy multitude. I would have given Big dady multitude the 5 stars it deserves only i dont really listen to it all that much anymore so it would'nt really be a justified reason, hate to go into euphemism's anyway.

I bought this cd after listening to "Pray for Mojo," one of the better ska cd's I own. I remember reading in the lyric sheet of "Pray for Mojo" one of the members thanking the fans who have stuck by them even when they played 'real bad ska.' Well, apparently this was still at a point in their career when they played real bad ska. Unlike "Pray for Mojo" which is filled with awesome hooks and harmonies, this album is full of mediocre songs with real bad singing. The singer definitely hadn't found his voice yet, and really sounds like he is joking around, which to a certain extent, he is. This is definitely before Mustard Plug became a good ska band. I would not recommend this cd to anybody except for truly die hard "terrible ska" fans.
