Everything Doesn't Suck!, February 29, 2000
This review is from: Everything Sucks (Audio CD)
Espically this CD! Sure, its low quality and about half the songs are featured on other RBF albums("Turn the Radio Off", "Why Do They Rock So Hard?", and "Keep Your Recipt"). And if you've never heard of this skankin' band, this isn't exactly the best place to start. Only a die hard RBF fan like myself could truly enjoy this CD. The sound of the samples may discourage you from purchasing it, but believe me, any true a RBF fan would appreciate and love this awesome CD! I know you're gonna love the added sax solos and a different trombone player, but with that there is a down side. Scott(trumpet/vocals) was not in the band during the time RBF recorded this CD. And that would leave all the trumpet duties to my buddy Tavis. In conclusion I'd say this is truly a great addition to any lover of sarcastic ska and RBF!

The Early Years, and it shows., September 2, 2007
Reel Big Fish is the best band ever, and they should rule the world. That being said, this cd is not their best. I really believe that the band's inexperience shows in this album.
THE HIGHS:
+The overall sound of the album is more of a punk sound. Even though it does not deserve to be called punk, in its self, it is faster and louder than The Fish's latter work.
+The horn section is extremely prominent, and well inter-webbed the rest of the music.
+Classic RBF!
+Its Reel BIG Fish!
THE LOWS:
-A few of the songs are definite fillers.
-The songs which were re-recorded for other discs, don't sound near as good on this album.
-Some of the songs sound like crap-"Trendy" sounds waaay better on 'Turn The Radio Off', on a couple of the songs it doesn't even sound like the band has ever played together in their lives.
-The horn section is very loose.
OVERALL:
A good album from Reel Big Fish. It could have used alot of re-mastering and overdubbing. But it is really fun to listen to the early sound of then poor band which now is a great band with a little more money to spend on production. A little faster and less serious effort then the post "Sell-Out" RBF. And i mean 'less serious' in a good way.
A Must for Reel Big Fish fans.
