This band's last studio album, "The Longest Barrel Ride" is undoubtedly one of the most savory albums ever released. It contains a scintillating blend of punk, ska, reggae, & metal that should inspire any eclectic music fan. While this follow-up studio release is another phenomonal record, it lacks the diversity & masterful use of seamless segue that one will find on "Barrel Ride". However, comparisons set aside, this record deserves five stars. While losing some of the ska-punk flavor, this record has incorporated more hip-hop & dancehall techniques into the sound. The use of turntables is a welcome addition to the mix. While mellow musical grooves interladen with catchy lyrical structure dominate this album, a few intermittent blistering punk tracks, esp. "Perfect Gentleman", demonstrate Slightly Stoopid's ability to cross musical borders without skipping a beat. Although the ill-conceived cover of "Leaving On a Jetplane" makes a push for 'muzak' status, the remaining tracks are by far superior to 95% of the other shwap available at your record store. So buy it right now, kids!
