I discovered this band by randomly listening to cds in the punk section of a local cd store and as soon as i heard this i had to have it. Now its just about all i listen to. The lead singer's voice is a little weird but after a short while it starts to sound great. The cd is a great combonations of punk and ska and some other stuff. I love every song, but My Town, Round Kid, and Nineteen are the best.

I've listened to lots of ska over the years and I would rate "My Town" as one of my top 10 ska songs of all time. It's as catchy a ska tune as they come...ranks right up there with the classics from the English Beat and with more modern stuff like Rancid.

If you want a catchy ska driven cd with some punk roots thrown in then by all means buy this Buck-O-Nine cd. It features some great tracks such as "Round Kid", "What Happened To My Radio?" and "Nineteen". Some of the other reviews seem to think that this cd isn't work it but trust me, it is.

Twenty-Eight-Teeth is a great ska album, by a great band, that not a lot of people know about. I would recomend this CD to almost anyone. And its at a very low price here at amazon.com. One thing of caution though, their other CD titled Libido, is a horrible CD and I strongly recomend for you not to buy that! But as for Twenty Eight Teeth, get it!

This CD shows what Bck-O-Nine is all about. Knocking off the jazzy bass and horn parts from 'Songs in the Key of Bree", the band dives right into some hardcore ska with songs such as "Round Kid" and "Nineteen". The vocals are catchy and you find yourslef singing along after listening for only a few minutes. While Jon's vocie may seem annoying and whiny at times, it fits nicely into the rest of the band. Scott's bassline seems to swell up the drum and guitar beats, forcing the beat upward to new heights. However, if I had the option, I'd put it at about 4.5 stars. It gets repetative after a bit, with msot of the songs (with thwe exception of the odly humerous "Jenifer's Cold" and "Little Pain inside") seem to blend into one another. Altogether, a good work from a good band. Definatly something to check out.

I really enjoyed this cd. being a trombone player I enjoyed the simple horn riffs, and its light enough for my liking unlike most hybrid ska/punk outfits. I like the vocals a lot although the lyrics are somewhat weak, and they don't overuse chord changes like most bands of this genre seem to. My friends that are in to 3rd wave ska seem to think this is a horrible cd, but this finds its way into my car's CD player all the time. The only reason this CD doesnt get a 5 is because "I'm the Man" (Track 5) is absolutely horrible and I skip over it every time I play the CD. I would definitely reccomend Twenty-Eight Teeth to people who aren't really into this style of music but are bored with their taste and want to try something new.

A great album with lovely chord progressions and good song writing. My only problem: The singer's voice annoys me(Don't take it from me though, I love John Flansburg and John Linnell from They might be giants). See how you like it!

I received this CD within a few days after I ordered it and I was more than pleased. It was new, as advertised, and came in a safe package. I have been enjoying it so much that I might have to buy another one, and I will order it again from the same advertiser. Thank you

This CD has dominated my player. At the very worst a song is merely ok. For any fan of punk or ska this is a cd you MUST have. I also own Libido and Pass the Dutchie, and while they are good they are nothing on this one.

...but the rest is barely mediocre. In fact, most of the songs sound the same. Not a purchase I was pleased with, and as soon as I get around to putting the two or three decent songs on a mix, this one's probably getting sold to the used CD shop up the street. If you want, you can pick it up there for $8, and start the vicious cycle all over again.
