"Mu330... I just can't explain them. They have a way to take super simple non-original music, yet make it sound awesome, complicated, and as original as it gets! This is my only Mu330 album, but, wow, it rocks! There's really no sure way to describe Mu330's style... they're kind of a heavy slow ska... but not ska metal. They have their slight punk influences, but it doesn't show much, which is a good thing in their case. Their use of acoustic guitars adds a kind of rockabilly feel. SO what we've come to is ska-slight-metal-with-punk-rock-a-billy feel... well, whatever it is... IT'S AWESOME!! this cd is great!! A must buy for any indie ska fun."

Less ska, same old MU330

"Comparing MU330's latest effort to their earlier works, "MU330" is more of a movement towards punk than ska, especially from the first four tracks or so, much like Reel Big Fish did on "Rock." Still, you can see the ska influences, and the CD is still everything you'd expect from MU330."

"This isn't a bad album, not at all. In fact, many of the tunes are consistent and energetic. Stagnant Waters is my personal fave. But...and of course there's a but...it just doesn't measure up to Press or Chumps on Parade. Sorry. I've been big on MU330 since the early St.Louis days of Salamander Stew (find that one!) and this album just doesn't have the standout humor and leaping-out vocals or instrumentation that their earlier "Stuff" had. This album is still better than the majority of what passes for ska these days. I recommend you check out the new album "Change Up" by fellow Missourians, The Skalars, for more old schoolin' ska."
