5.0 out of 5 stars great cd, January 26, 2005

This review is from: Greatest Zits 1990-2003 (Audio CD)

after listening to this albem you almost forget your not in orange county california. sunny upbeat lyrics, mixed with westcoast punk/ska guitar licks adds up to a well made albem. If you like Sublime you should definatly pick this albem up being as the ziggens were one of sublimes major influences. a few of sublime's tracks are accually ziggens covers, and they played together often at local bars in california. the second cd in this albem is all instromental and is great backround music at summer parties.

*****Highly recommended*****

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it, but not as much as Sublime, January 24, 2009

They're good, and they have a nice laid-back, beach beat to them. I liked quite a few songs on CD 1, but the second CD didn't have much in the way of vocals, but was still pleasurable to listen to. If you like Sublime, you will probably like the Ziggens, but there isn't a comparison between the two. Sublime was a much better band, but the Ziggens are still good. I would say they're better than the Long Beach Dub Allstars, and I would recommend them to anyone who likes ska and surf music.

Give them a shot. You might like them. I listen to it almost every week, so that's saying something.

If you have not listened to the Ziggens yet then this is the album to buy. If you liked Sublime you might like The Ziggens. The Ziggens were a major influence in Sublime's music and can be heard in some of their songs. I am a major sublime fan and I just bought this CD 3 weeks ago and it has not come out of my CD player since. It is really an amazing blend of so many different types of music but they do it in their own way. Most of the songs make you feel like surfing, especially the songs on the Surf CD. I have never surfed but this is the music I would listen to if I was going surfing. There is also a lot of punk rock in thier music as well as country, polka and some other things I don't know how to describe. You really have to buy this CD it's awesome. PLUS, it's impossible to download, I tried. Don't even bother I never buy CD's but I bought this one because it's impossible to download. Overall Rating - A++++
