While I haven't heard many ska punk albums front to back, this album is going to sit at my number one spot for a long time, I predict. This album bridges the accessibility of Catch 22's sound with the novel craziness of 2007's Somewhere in the Between—and that's the recipe I've been craving.
I was surprised to hear how similarly bassists Josh Ansley and Pete McCullough play between both albums. Their ability to glue together the many facets of the band's compositions is simply brilliant to me. However, this album had such a digestible quality that clicked with me in all the right ways. When I got in my car a few hours later, this album was the very first thing I put on.
