Title: Shouldabeenbetter
Review: After a strong debut on BEC Recordings ("Armageddon Massive"), this Orange County-based ska-punk band had a path to follow. But rather than improving on the Ramones / Sublime / Sex Pistol-ish sound, this follow-up album just meanders all over boring. There's nothing new here, but that doesn't mean it's terrible; the last five songs are worth hearing, and the best five on the disc. If you want to know what the Dingees could do at a splendored young age, then I highly recommend the previous effort.
