Finally a CD version of the 7 seconds of Love songs! after downloading most of these back in the day when they were available free i can say the majority of the CD is fun, funky, catchy ska stuff. There's some right anthems, 'First drink of the day' and appropriately the first song on the CD will put u straight in the mood to get drinking and the rest of the songs pretty much continue this trend which is a very enjoyable trend indeed. The lyrics here are of somewhat supremely written and possibly the most captivating since the days of Boney M. The song 'Soupy George' chants 'Soupy George youv'e got soup on your head!' throughout the song. . . brilliant!
Overall a damn fun album which is well worth investing in, quick dancey ska excellence! A definite for any party! For a sample of what these guys are about check out 'Ninja', 'Danger of Death' or 'Twister' as well as the ones already mentioned!

This is the long and eagerly awaited release from 7 seconds of love, whose good natured, beautifully crafted songs have been enjoyed by UK fans at numerous fantastic gigs, and online, by fans worldwide for the last few years.
On stage, the band are musically superb, entertaining and really good "rock your face off" fun ...... this album reflects the infectious energy and good humour for which they have become renowned.
The songs are highly original and at times the lyrics somewhat bizarre-yet they have a strange logic of their own. ..
The music is tightly performed (these guys can really play), catchy, memorable and in some cases anthemic... Winners in particular has a a good shouting chorus. It is also splendid to dance to!
Well established favourite tracks are Ninja and Soupy George,with their amusing lyrics and sing along choruses.
My personal favourite is Love Me Like you Used To- a moving, and musically brilliant lament to a lost love.
The album will be much treasured by fans who already know many of the tracks from hearing them at gigs or online.
It should also open the eyes of others, as yet unaware, to the excellence of this band..
The record will bring a smile to the face of anyone who hears it and deserves to be a huge success
All hail 7 seconds of love!!!

If, like me, you have been following these guys from very early on, and had downloaded most of these tracks for free a few years ago, and thought that you didnt need to buy the album. you were wrong. i thought this, then i had some spare cash and decided to buy the album, to listen to the songs i hadn't already heard. I was astounded, not only by the quality of the new tracks, (one more(or ten) being now one of my favorite songs)but also the way the older songs have been updated.
For example submarine now is much longer with some extra lyics added on to the end. Mzungu, previously i thought of as an average song, is now much quicker and lively and has hence become a favorite of mine.
the only problem is some songs have been ommitted from the album (i don't know why) like lets get wasted, a truly awesome song, and cocaine kate. there are others missing, but these are the ones that i thought really deserved to be on the album.
Finally the recording quality is much better than the older versions and the whole album sound is more polished. If you were like me and thought you didn't need to buy the album because you already had most of the songs, buy the album. If you like ska, buy the album. just generally buy the album, it is awesome.

The most important band of the 21st century
Lennon had nothing on these guys, buy the album and prepare to have your face ROCKED RIGHT OFF.
Hilarious modern ska-type stuff, every track will bring a smile ;)
