Superb. I'm not a particular fan of ska really, but I have to say this is very, very, very good. And it's very appropriately titled, I can't help but smile when I whack this in my stereo.

The band picked a gem of an opener in "Good Thing", for aaaaages this was my favourite song and it's just so good! Everything about it makes you smile, the vocal harmonies are flawless, it's one of those songs that you love, but you're not really sure why. There isn't anything special about it when you break it all down, but as a song with everything together, it gives you a great feeling. Even my mom likes this song! The first 5 tracks are great ska, but not conventional ska at all. You won't find any upstrokes on the top three strings off the beat - the trademark ska style. RBF have really broken the mould with the opening 5 tracks. I love the inventiveness of the songs, really well done guys.

Tracks 6 through 8 revert back the usual ska structure, but they're still very good. If you're a hardcore ska fan, you'll appreciate these tracks, but if you don't really like ska-by-numbers, skip the tracks, you've still got some killer tracks to come.

It all goes very experimental after track 8. Tributes to different people that have nothing to do with ska pop up in "Rock 'N Roll is Bitchin'" (one for the Kiss fans) and a superb a cappella version of "New York, New York". More inventive ska in "Dateless Losers" - a particular favourite of mine, and "Valerie". Also, "Brand New Hero" (completely stealing the riff out of "By The Way" by the Chili Peppers and shifting up the neck of the guitar slightly) shows us that RBF have taken ska to another level.

The real quality of this record lies in the creativity of the Fish in largely ignoring conventional ska methods and techniques, and blown open the possibilities for ska bands - if these guys can fuse together good-time rock 'n roll with chirpy ska, then everyone should start doing it too. Buy it, you won't regret it

On my first play of 'Cheer Up!', I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed with it... but then I listened to it again, and again, and again, and again. While the album perhaps marks a move away from ska/punk towards plain old rock (only with the addition of a horn section), it still has that certain charm about it that could only come from the Fish. The opening track 'Good Thing' is a solid rock tune, along with the likes of 'Where Have You Been?'(the first single from this album)), 'Valerie', 'Brand New Hero'.
'Ban The Tube Top', 'Suckers', 'A Little Doubt Goes A Long Way' and 'Kiss Me Deadly' are all songs in the traditional RBF style, while a vocals-only (plus human percussion) version of 'New York, New York', and the almost ballad-like 'Drunk Again' provide something that little bit different.

All in all, some great thumping tunes and some excellent trumpet playing come together to make this ANOTHER great Reel Big Fish album.

What a truly outstanding album this is. I have had this record for over two years now and it still sounds as fresh,exciting and uplifting as the day I bought it and is still a regular fixture on my CD player. And to think that based on the advice of several RBF fans, I very nearly didn't buy it! Ignore the people that don't want a band to stretch and grow, and the too-cool-for-school elitists that accuse them of selling out and just enjoy the band's best music to date.
This album is full of energy, catchy hooks and great melodies. Highlights include the wonderfully sarcastic title track, "I Think Somebody Loved Me Once" with it's beautiful intro that gives way to a wonderful brass and guitar stomp, the haunting "Where Have You Been?" & the excellent "A Little Doubt Goes A Long Way" which comes complete with a snatch of Paul Simon's Gracelands album and it's own insanely addictive refrain.
Buy this album now as if you like;punk,ska,pop and/or rock there is something for you in this modern classic.
