4.0 out of 5 stars An Underground Classic, May 4, 2001

By	Cabot Bartlett (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After forming in 1978, this was Fishbone's first release. Forget about the short ska phase the music scene went through back in 98-99 - Fishbone was doing it WAY before with this album. And it's not just ska; it's fun, raw, energetic, and humorous rock. "Party At Ground Zero" has historically prooved the success of this album. You've probably heard it on the radio or in the background of some television show or movie. The same can be said of Fishbone - they've lingered just under the nose of mainstream rock and roll (which is probably better for the longevity of the band). People new to Fishbone will probably like this album or "Truth and Soul" best. But this is one party album that belongs in everyone's upbeat collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contains two of the spunkiest, hippest tunes of the 1980s., July 22, 1998

By A Customer

Fishbone has gone through many changes over the past few years, and their sound has become more hard-core as the band has aged. This EP is their first major release, and it catches the band at an energetic and creative high. While not as polished or well-rounded an effort as the later "Truth and Soul," this album offers fun, soulful, high flying dance music. It's a satisfying blend of ska, funk, rap, and good ol' creativity.

The album is a must have for "Lyin' Ass Bitch" and "Party at Ground Zero" -- two of the spukiest, hippest tunes of the 1980s

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh my goodness!, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

This ep is bloody amazing. Ripping into the first track, "ugly" (which is an ABSOLUTE killer) it then goes on and on, and keeps its fresh style. You don't get sick of this one.

Personally, I think that this first ep, no matter how good all of their stuff is, is probobly their best release. It's so fresh and funky. Not to say that their other albums are bad, no, they're brilliant, but this is absolutely amazing.
