Product Description
CD Description
After having spent the '90s leading the ska charge, only tobe commercially surpassed by West Coast peers No Doubt, TheMighty Mighty Bosstones' sixth studio album takes a mature turn. Still distinguished by frontman Dickie Barrett's gargled-glass vocals and a punchy horn section, the Beantown natives make a creative leap forward with their songwriting despite the departure of guitarist and main cog Nate Albert. Among the topics covered here are wisdom gained in the march towards old age ("I Know More"), a post-Columbine commentary on teens ("High School Dance"), and a slam on corporate life's influence on pop culture ("Allow Them").
Musically, theBosstones develop beyond their third-generation approach towards ska. "Riot On Broad Street" finds them joining forces with the Big Bad Bollocks for a hometown love letter that could have easily been written by the Pogues, while "She Just Happened" is wrapped in light Caribbean rhythms and chiming Afro-pop guitar. Elsewhere, the opening track "Let Me Be" isgiven a cool jazz intro before morphing into an infectious Two-Tone rave-up. The riotous octet even comes up with a post-punk sequel to Dylan's "My Back Pages", in "I Know More".
