What? No Spongmonkeys?

Do you remember the Spongmonkeys? They first showed up here (in the US) in 2004 in a TV commercial for the Quiznos Sub shops, singing their song "We Love the Subs." This was a take off on their song "We Like Tha Moon," created by Joel Veitch. Sad to say, this isn't on this album.

Then there were the Ninja Kittens, another Internet phenomenon created by Joel Veitch. They are here on this CD in their song "Ninja" and on some other tracks here on Danger Is Dangerous, by 7 Seconds of Love.

Most of the songs on this new CD have been previously released as videos or mp3 files over the last few years, so that's why I'm familiar with them. I found the track listings on Amazon.co.uk, and I'll share them here, along with my personal ratings:

1. First Drink Of The Day [5-stars, for adults]
2. Danger Of Death [5-stars]
3. My Car [4-stars]
4. Twister [4-stars, a little weird]
5. Love Me Like You Used To [5-stars]
6. Mzungu [5-stars, and a favorite]
7. One More (Or Ten) [5-stars]
8. Ninja [5-stars, and a long- time favorite]
9. Looking For My Leopard [5-stars]
10. Unemployed [4-stars]
11. Soupy George [4-stars]
12. Submarine [5-stars]
13. Winners [5-stars, favorite track on this CD]

So that's nine 5-star selections and four 4-star selections. Many of us have bought CDs with just one or two 5-star selections, so how can you go wrong with this?

BTW, the album cover is excellent. Look very carefully into the cat's eyes, and what do you see?

It's good to see that the world will now be able to hear this great music group as some of us have been able to do in the past. '7 Seconds of Love' is my favorite UK music group, so I'm kind of biased, but hope that you'll like them too.

This is the long and eagerly awaited release from 7 seconds of love, whose good natured, beautifully crafted songs have been enjoyed by UK fans at numerous fantastic gigs, and online, by fans worldwide for the last few years.

On stage, the band are musically superb, entertaining and really good "rock your face off" fun ...... this album reflects the infectious energy and good humour for which they have become renowned.

The songs are highly original and at times the lyrics somewhat bizarre-yet they have a strange logic of their own. ..

The music is tightly performed (these guys can really play), catchy, memorable and in some cases anthemic... Winners in particular has a a good shouting chorus. It is also splendid to dance to!

Well established favourite tracks are Ninja and Soupy George,with their amusing lyrics and sing along choruses.

My personal favourite is Love Me Like you Used To- a moving, and musically brilliant lament to a lost love.

The album will be much treasured by fans who already know many of the tracks from hearing them at gigs or online.

It should also open the eyes of others, as yet unaware, to the excellence of this band..

The record will bring a smile to the face of anyone who hears it and deserves to be a huge success

All hail 7 seconds of love!!!

Finally these guys have a cd to buy. Heard their tunes on [...] and couldn't wait til they busted out a cd. Ska is fabulous and so are you lads. Well done.

Danger is Dangerous is the first cd from Seven Seconds of Love.

This band rocks with everyone of their tunes being so catchy and infectious, you will have them stuck in your head for a good long time.

I am thrilled this band has decided to continue putting out cds and look forward to their next upcoming venture. Joel Veitch & Co. is pure genius. Visit [...] for more wackiness and tunes. Only caveat is a lot of the site is not child friendly, so I'd recommend only older teens and up. I suspect all the UK peeps know of Rathergood and all Mr. Veitch's many projects, but for those who don't, spend a while on the site and all will be revealed. Cheers!

I am going to make this short and sweet...if you are a fan of SKA this is a must have. No crossover Punk/Ska a la Reel Big Fish, LTJ or Bosstones. Only one song really approaches Ska/Punk and that is of course "SOUPY GEORGE" This is good UK type SKA with probably the wildest lyrics you have ever heard. Think Toy Dolls only SKA! Every song on this disc is a winner and it is guaranteed to be in your rotation for quite a while. I myself am more into Death/Symphonic Metal but have always had Ska as a hidden passion. Something about a great groove you just can't turn down. Alot like "The Beat", 7 Seconds of Love really hold down the sound and are very tight. Buy it up....you won't regret it.
