Here they are again, the elder musicians of Citizen Fish just wont quit making music, and making good music at that. On this album they seemed to progress a little more than previous albums. Its a little more upbeat, you can actually dance to it. A lot more ska influenced music on Thirst also. This album you can run through track 1-12(all) without skipping around finding a good song, because they are all great.

Citizen Fish on the tour for this album is one of the best live bands I have ever seen. They were tighter than a drum and conjured monster waves of energy I can still recall over 10 years later. They just BURNED up the club like it was the last night of their lives.

The band's albums are decent too, though I sold off all their early ones. MM and Thirst being CF's best IMO. If they tour near you just GO.

This is THE standout album from the best ska/punk band around these days. As always, the lyrics are hyper-intelligent, socially conscious rants that provoke real thought but never become preachy. Dick has never sounded better and the music reaches new levels of precision for this veteran band. Honestly, I've worn out my disk player with this album. It's easily one of the best ska/punk efforts ever released. Just buy it!

It's ska and it's British. What else to say? It's fast paced and lively, and I like it a lot.
