This is the go-to CD when you want good ska music. This group performed live throughout the Southwest. Great vocals and original songs.

Pretty standard 90s ska, not the biggest fan if it doesn't have punk rock mixed in it. They barely do that mix, mostly horns

This RBF album defnintely leans towards the rock side of ska as did the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in their latest studio album, but they still keep that tight horn section and driving bass line.  This album is also one of  those types that after listening to them for awhile, you definitely begin  to like the tunes until you develop and real appreciation for every single  one on the disc.  I just thought it was a really cool follow up to the  phenomenal "Turn the Radio Off".

I'm a big ska fan, but the scene has gone underground again.  Getting a new King Django album was a treat.

I usely only like a couple songs on most of my cds, but every song I heard  on Let's Face was awsome.  I liked the sound the of music, so it got me  really interested in Ska.

If you like SKACORE then this cd you is for you. It is the altimate hardcore/Ska cd. They are one of my favorite cd's you need this cd if you like ska. Hey stop reading this and buy it. STOP READING ALREADY AND BUY  THE CD.

Ska, metal, XTC, and Mariachi influences? This is a super-fun disk for anyone with broad musical interests. And it completely negates those hours of bad (heck, downright grim and derivative) Mexican pop music you've heard at your local restaurant. There is interesting music out there, and much as American pop has been saturated with horribleness but yet good music emerges around the edges, the same seems to be true of music from other nations.

This cd really delivers. The trance is some of the best around. While I was not familiar with Marc and Claude by song specifically. I totally recognized the song when I got the cd. The vocals are awesome and very catchy and I think the best part of this cd is that there are 7 different mixes all by really great producers such as Riva, Jan Driver, CJ Stone and my favorite mix of the bunch (thought it's pretty hard to pick just one) is the Safri Duo Mix. Definetly a must for fans of Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren and the uber trance dj's.

I didn't think I'd like this CD entirely, but I bought it because it had a lot of great tracks on it and WOW. This is a very well thought out compilation mix. I've listened to it five times already and can't get over how good some of the songs are. Name Taken rocks and  Alkaline Trio is always good... but I think the best song on the CD is Finch's "Post Script." They are a phenomenal band. The only track I don't like on this entire CD is Jimmy Eat World but it's okay because it's the last track and I can just shut it off when it gets to that point. Jimmy Eats World [is bad] and I think sticks out like a sore thumb on this record. Overall, if you're short on cash and want some good new music, buy this compilation. It more than likely won't dissapoint.

This, in my opinion, is the best Rancid album ever made. Every song is catchy, fun to listen to, has great bass and are short and to the point. The album opens up with the virtuoso bass, fast punk song, Maxwell Murder. After it goes into 11th Hour and others that are great to listen to. Then it gets to Ruby Soho, one of the catchiest songs on the album and a big single from the album. After Ruby Soho, the rest of the album is good to listen to. Not a single "bad, skip this" song. All songs are ska-based and have catchy choruses, which surprises me because I didn't think Tim and the crew would write 19 awesome songs on one cd. Well, they did. If you don't have this album for some reason, get it. Buy it, burn it, something. JUST GET IT!! Also, if you like Operation Ivy, you are most likely going to love this.

I discovered this Music (Vincent Pontare--he's Swedish) when my Daughter was playing a YouTube Video of some stop-motion, Oriental Taeyang Dolls that someone had created using the "Sweet Miss Blue" song as background music. It was great, so I did some searches on YouTube for more of Vincent's stuff and it turns out, many of the posted YouTube songs are on this particular CD. Of course "Miss Blue" is the Pop Song that hooks and then there are at least 4-5 other tunes on this CD that are excellent. It's NOT one of those one-hit-wonder CD's. I'm kind of late to the game as this CD came out in 2007 I think? But hey, try it out---you'll like it. Harmless, Bubble Gum, SKA-flavored, Pop tunes.

For Monkeys is a great example of what great-sounding and catchy punk sounds like. Songs like "Twenty-Two", "Roll the Dice", and even the kinda ska songs have a good sound. The only song I really believe could and should have been left off is "Monkey Boogie". Besides the lame circus music, it doesn't blend well with the rest of the CD. But I didn't let one song take away the 5 star rating. This is one of my best pop-punk CD's, and if you know what's good for you you'll pick it up too.

Some of the all around best ska bands come together on this compilation to form all different varieties of ska... I owned this album 10+ years ago and needed to buy it again to enjoy as I did back then... A must for any ska lover

smooth and mellow ska love. Very cool for what I hear is a one man operation. Would love to see the show when they come to Mpls. next 3/17 if it wasn't across the street from the infamous crack towers. Good tunes!

Mo's years of work with a voice coach apparently paid off.  She and the rest of the band are amazing on this their first full length.  I saw them live at the Palace in Hollywood with Let's Go Bowling and goonis' did it  ROCK.  I talked to Mo's dad for a while.  Go see them if for no other  reason than because Mo' is painfully sexy.  Fantastic poppy (and  unfortunately trendy) SKA.

This is one of the best CDs I have heard in a long time. Their punk-pop mix is driven and catchy, but it never gets old and it always sounds fresh. And I just think it's cool because my friend Brad had never heard of them (And he thinks he's so much more underground than I am!) I heard of them on MP3.com and got hooked, and the minute I saw the CD I felt the compulsion to buy it. The ol' instincts were right of course...Lucky 7 is greatness in the making!

Tokyo Ska. Ska Para. TSPO. Whatever you want to call them, this band is an international institution that's put out more albums over the past 20 years than I can keep up with. The only problem with their studio albums is they can be really hit-or-miss. This best of collection from the past decade culls the excess fat and keeps the meat. The only minor complaint for me is it's missing the awesome cover of the "Love Theme" from the Godfather films that they did on their last labum, Wild peace.

If you've heard of the beand before, but have been wary of giving them a try due to the high import prices then this is the album for you. Ditto for any long-time fans who may have missed their last two or three albums as all the great songs from those albums and more are on this 2 disc collection.

Collects songs from the studio albums: Wild Peace, Answer, High Numbers, and Down Beat Alley.
