5.0 out of 5 stars Not all ska, but still great, November 5, 2003

As my title implies, the Pietasters took another different direction here, continuing their streak of completely unique albums. This is neither the pure neo-trad ska of Oolooloo (an even better album-- get that too), nor the mainstream late 90s sounds of Willis. It has a great 70s R&B/soul feel with some definite reggae influences (Mellow Mood, Drunken Master, How We Were Before). The best songs are Malmo, Rachel (possibly my favorite Pietasters song ever), Set Me Up, and Nothing Good to Eat (although the Give em the Boot III version sounds much better.)

In short, highly recommended for fans of all music from soul and old-school R&B to reggae and ska. But for the best Pietasters records, get Oolooloo and Strapped Live.

I have been a fan of the Pietasters for sometime and think it is great to see them evolve musically. This album picks up where Awesome Mix left off very well. Steve "I Feel Good" Jackson is soulfully heard through most of these jams. The rest of the band is at their best and man, can you hear the basslines flow! IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THE PIE, THAN IT'S TIME TO TASTE A PIECE!

But to see them live is to really experience the full Pietaster madness! Don't be afraid - just buy it!

If the Pietasters come to your town, be there. . .you will have a blast.

5.0 out of 5 stars They did it again!, August 6, 2002

Every true Pietasters fan expected it, with every album their amazing sound evolves significantly as of the last album, THIS IS NOT A BAD THING! I knew it would happen. They are still the most talented, soulful, swinging ska band around! I admit I am horribly biast with this album. I loved all their other albums so much that they could fart in a microphone and I would buy the single. But this album holds its own! It seems to be a look back at the roots of the pietasters yet with a fresh perspective that will rock you. Don't expect any songs on the album similar to crazy monkey woman on willis (which was awsome), but look forward to an oldschool ska feel that does well to keep a solid theme. My favorite songs are malmo, nothing good to eat, rachel, and drunken master. A must for all true pietasters fans. If you are new to the pietasters, give them a try!!! You can't go wrong with any album, I would start with Awesome Mix Tape #6 or willis if you are into more mainstrem rock/ska, if you want something a little bit more smooth then go for Ooolooloo or Piestomp (sorry they are hard to come by but good luck) Also Strapped live kicks!!! If you dig the pietasters check out the slackers, toasters, or the specials. Skank forever!
