5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, the best Ska CD I know, May 11, 2000

If you want to give someone a great sampling of Ska, make them a tape. If you want to give someone a sample of how great Ska can be, buy them this CD. Simple. Listen to the tracks; it's that good all the way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, rude boy!!, November 7, 2003

This album is in my top 10 favorite Ska cds, if I were on the proverbial desert island (with electricity and a stereo) I would have this in my three cds with me, along with Skarmageddon Vol I, and III. Better yet, on the "Big Brother" television show, winning "Head of Household" this is the cd I would want waiting for me in my room, and then all of America can know the magic of the Toasters. Horn section on the opening track "Direction", just about perfect, gives you that nerd-gasm , moving along "Mona" "Dub 56" and "Legal Shot" will also get you rockin' and car-dancin' just like that girl in that commercial. On a side note, buy "Ska the Third Wave" to get a really awesome re-mix of "Dub 56" You must comply! The power of Ska compels you!

4.0 out of 5 stars High Flying Fun, June 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dub 56 (Audio CD)

Overall a good release by the Toasters, Dub 56 features a lot of the great charts you'll hear when they play live. In that vein, this CD features a number of live tracks at the end of the disc, including such faves as "Mona" and "Weekend in L.A." This disc features a good mix of lead vocals between Coolie Ranx and Bucket Hingley, so fans of either one should be pleased. An especially nice touch is the slick rendition of "A Night in Tunisia," originally written by Dizzy Gillespie, a chart that on this album receives the smooth treatment of the Toasters' horn section. I recommend this album.
