5.0 out of 5 stars who's that girl?, June 28, 2000
By steve (florida) - See all my reviews
the album is by far the best ever from the slackers. with a little under 70 minutes, your time is filled with old school classic ska. my question is who is that girl on the cover?

5.0 out of 5 stars subtle brilliance!, May 16, 2000
By A Customer
Warning: this album will sneak up on you! My initial reaction to it (well over a year ago) was somewhat mixed. The obviously-catchy songs such as "Have the Time" and "Face In My Crowd" stood out to me, but the whole thing (clocking in at just under 70 minutes) was so huge and sprawling that it took MANY repeated listens over time to fully appreciate! Every time I come back to this album I find something more to love! A year later I've realized that this has become one of my favorite albums EVER!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant music., September 24, 1999
By Marc A. Coignard (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Slackers are truly a gift from the Ska gods! They mimic but do not copy the orignal Jamaican ska sound, and this album is particularly haunting and creative. This is real ska. Not that Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, Less than Jake b.s. that all sounds alike. These guys have got a real style and sound, independent of any trad-ska band i've heard. A must have.
