Negative Positive
Title: disappointed...
Review: I remember when the blue meanies were one of about ten "ska" bands that I liked, then they were one of three (LTJ and MU330 being the others) and now... well... where are the crazy horns that attracted me to them in the first place? where are the odd time signatures? diminished fifths? only three tracks here even show a shadow of the old band (do the tightbelt, mama getting high on chardonnay, and employee 00765) and at that they still don't have the same fire. I picked this up expecting another urine trouble or full throttle and I got pop punk. To be fair, it's pretty good as pop punk goes, but it's still missing something. Leaves me wondering whether it has to do with the major label switch or not. I'd like to think it doesn't.
Is the review positive or negative?
