This album is about as "alternative" as one can get with punk music. I mean, the lack of reviews for this album is astonishing. Musically, it's very different for typical ska-punk music. The band plays superbly throughout and every single song has a different sound from the last. It's a bit of a grower, though. At first the random shift some songs take will through you off, and the lyrics range from trippy and surreal to really stupid, but it all fits together in one neat package. It's not very accessible, but those that get into it will find plenty to love.
