From the very first listen, I knew this album was going to stay in my CD player for a long time. It combines ska, pop, raggae, rock and many many more genres. Byron's (the lead singer) melodies float over the band's impressive playing. They may be a local Denver band, but they don't know that. They think they're big time, and the should be. It's hard to pick out the best songs here, but the standouts are Tell Me (an upbeat treat), Are You Ready (a bluesy masterpeice), and the Dubs. Judge Roughneck is truly something special. Buy this album. Great, Great, Great listen!!!!!!!

Since the debut of "Rude One's Money Making Scheme", fans and onlookers have witnessed the shaping of Judge Roughneck's unique style. This particular album combines elements of calypso, reggae, and ska to formulate the impressive blend that is Roughneck's signature sound. The album appeals to pop-listeners in a general sense with all of the catchy hooks, but also to music lovers who appreciate the level of fluency with which each band member expresses himself. The music itself pays homage to 2-tone ska while recognizing its own place in the ska genre as well as the music world. The songs themselves are mainly upbeat tunes and extremely danceable. Judge Roughneck is an amazingly dynamic crowd catalyst to see live, and this album is the most representative of the band's current direction.
