To be quite honest, Common Sense' music is much better on the live platform. Although the CD is a good representation of the band, its harking melodies are a bit "studio-ized". If you don't live in San Diego or you never get to see them perform live, you really miss out on the raw Cali-reggae beauty reality behind the band's spontaneous flow. All in all, The CD can be a sufficient substitute for all.

A good cd. i agree with the other fan stating it's a bit "studio-ized". a little too much flanger on the vocals on the song "summer". they were probably co-erced into being a little more pop due to being on virgin records at the time. good songs though, i really like "never give up" featuring pato banton, "trapped inside my mind", and "things ain't getting any easier".

common sense is a great mix of reggae, punk, ska all that stuff. They have a ton of great songs esp. Never give up and sexual healing. perfect music for that special time of day 4:20. this cd is a must buy.

One of my favorites. This is my second CD. My first is dust now.
Love this band!!!

If you've never seen Common Sense live, then you're missing out on a great show! The next best thing is this CD. No matter what mood I'm in, it's always a better mood after listening to it. Nick Hernandez has an awesome voice, Chuck Morris rules the skins, Larry Young always delivers a great bass line, Jai Vatuk and Billy Sherman really wail at guitars and keyboards. I highly recommend this CD-and if you happen to be in San Diego, catch Common Sense live!
