Title: Is This The Same Buck O Nine?
Product review: BO9 has changed a lot since their earlier albums like Barfly and Songs In The Key Of Bree. In these albums, they sound like your average ska band, which attracted ska fanatics. However, many of them were turned off by this album. Why? Because the tunes in this recording has lost many of the key elements of ska, such as the chinky off-beat guitar which occurs only occasionally in this album, and also what happened to the horn solos? These and other factors have led me to believe that Buck O Nine is slowly edging towards pop rock and away from ska, somewhat comparable to No Doubt (Only they did it quicklier). I liked this album better than any other ska CD I have heard, and some pop rock minded listeners may enjoy it also, but die-hard ska fans are going to find something missing.
