Who's that girl?

steve | florida | 06/28/2000

"the album is by far the best ever from the slackers. with a little under 70 minutes, your time is filled with old school classic ska. my question is who is that girl on the cover?"

Subtle brilliance!

"Warning: this album will sneak up on you! My initial reaction to it (well over a year ago) was somewhat mixed. The obviously-catchy songs such as "Have the Time" and "Face In My Crowd" stood out to me, but the whole thing (clocking in at just under 70 minutes) was so huge and sprawling that it took MANY repeated listens over time to fully appreciate! Every time I come back to this album I find something more to love! A year later I've realized that this has become one of my favorite albums EVER!"

Brilliant music.

"The Slackers are truly a gift from the Ska gods! They mimic but do not copy the orignal Jamaican ska sound, and this album is particularly haunting and creative. This is real ska. Not that Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, Less than Jake b.s. that all sounds alike. These guys have got a real style and sound, independent of any trad-ska band i've heard. A must have."

Slackers: Cry tears of joy, love de reggae, live de spirit

"The Slackers are the joint. Period. They make the best ska/reggae/calypso/rocksteady/lounge music on the planet. Never have I seen so much emotion in an island music record since Jimmy Cliff's "Harder They Come". seriously folks, this album will make all of you who are disenchanted with ska, and any other dance music that you might feel is cheesy lova lova it again, because it conveys so much emotion, spirit, respect for the masters of the genre. Sophistication that denies comparison from any other band that dares step to it. Basically, it is sheer genius, and I would recommend it to any man or woman that wants to get down. The "Mountainside" is reminisint of Disney's "Under the Sea", it's a great Calypso number, and make you smile and think back to the great days of Harry Bell Fountain. It's all good. Feel free to contact me at wilcockd@kenyon.edu Love, Daniel."

The Slackers just keep getting better!

"To tell you the truth I had no idea that the Slackers even had this album out! But when I found out I got it immediatly cause I have the other two and love 'em. This is definatly a Slackers CD, no ifs ands or butts. (he he) But, keeping in the tradition of music must grow and change to not become stale the Slackers have come up with "a new batch of sticky buns" (Django) to keep the listener in mad delight. This disc hits ya in the heart from the first few seconds and keeps going 'till the skank in you has run completely out. I must say that this disc shows a lot of growth in the band. From the days of "better Late thatn Never" to "Redlight" to "the Question" the Slackers keep doing one thing, growing up. The music is something that gets in your soul, something that comes with time and something that can only be there in a band who loves the music they are playing. Can you tell why dime a dozen ska/punk bands make an album or two that sound exactly the same and call it quits? They don't have the love, they don't have what it takes to be true to the ska, hell they probably don't know who Tommy McCook is (who "The Question" is dedicated to). In closing I give the Slackers much respect for putting out a quality CD and for giving back to the music which has gave us so much."
