I'm new to the Pietasters, but being a fan of 2nd Gen Ska as well as some 3rd Gen Ska bands, I thought it was time to give them a listen. Songs like Out All Night. Bitter, Ocean, and Without You are immediately enjoyable with fat sound, catchy lyrics, and loads of energy. The strength of the better tracks leaves no doubt that this is a great band. The rough vocals that are the key to success for a few song, but it gets excessive on others and makes the album a little tiresome. Any flaws withstanding, the quality is there to send a new listener searching for older albums and looking out for new ones.

Don't get me wrong, I love the pietasters, but this album just sucks. There are too many covers on this cd including New Breed, Time Won't Let Me, and Quicksand. Not too mention several preleased songs appear including Crazy Monkey Woman and Without You (its 3rd appearance). However the Pietasters do manage to put out two excellent songs (Out All Night and Fat Sack). If you really want to hear the Pietasters get Strapped: Live or Ooolooloo.

I can't recommend this album more. It combines great ska with awesome soul and old school rock to create a deadly combination that will rock your senses. I loved "Oolooloo" as well. This isn't neccesarily a better album than "Oolooloo" (you should definately own both) but it stands out in my mind more. I listen to both equally. See them live if you can.
