Editorial Reviews

Los Angeles Times
The band's sardonic take on life and pop stardom remains consistent....

5.0 out of 5 stars Change, not selling out, December 1, 1999
Reel Big FIsh was my first SKa band that I was obsessed with and THis CD lives up to my expectations. Their sound is changed so much it's hard to compare to their last CD but the guitar is great and the singing is even better. A ska must for any real ska fans and ska newcomers as well. By the way, they didn't sell out, their music matured and got better.

5.0 out of 5 stars damn this rocks so hard, January 10, 2000
By big pappa (seaford long island) - See all my reviews
this is one of the best cds i've bought in a long time. i have been a fan of RBF for a while now and i feel this could be thier best album to date. they are headed in a new direction but thats awsome. alot of people are knocking them for that but if they put out 12 more albums that sounded like "Turn The Radio Off" they'd be criticizing them too. well needless to say its a great cd, the songs are catchy and the lyrics are funny in that RBF sort of way. this cd answers the question... "Why Do They Rock so Hard?"

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't say enough about this wonderful cd, December 19, 1999
By Evil Dexter (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a must have for any ska fan. It was my first Reel Big Fish cd and also my first ska cd and as soon as I heard it I was hooked on it. I became obsessed with RBF. It has great guitars and horns and it's a really fast and upbeat kinda ska cd. After hearing this I had to get their previous cd, Turn the Radio Off, and I have to say they have definitely changed their sound, but for the better. Turn the Radio Off is more ska, while Why Do They Rock So Hard lives up to its name, it rocks harder, but still it's horn section is so great. Just get it, you won't be disappointed.

This is the most incredible blend of ska/punk oriented riffs I've ever heard in one band. RBF uses the catchiest hooks to create a CD that is even greater than Turn the Radio Off... Read more
