This album brings me back to middle school. My friend gave it to me one day after school and said I just had to listen to, it was my first ska album (third wave yeah, I still call it ska). I have more memories of this record than any other, and don't think anything that Tomas has done since has topped this. Thanks, Tom.
If you haven't listened to it before, please do. Not for me, for you.

I listened to this album for the first time a few months ago. It's pretty good.
"Kristina" reminds me of an experience I had in high school. I think they also
re-made this whole album.

Yeah, Streetlight redid it, the original is far superior imo.

the original is definitely better. streetlight annoy me, cause they've essentially written keasbey nights over & over again for each of their albums. one of the very few punk/ska albums i enjoy
One of my favorite records.
Still listen to it on a daily basis.

Back when I was super into ska this was one of my favorites. Now it's one of the few ska albums I still listen to.

My favorite ska CD.. I'm not too into the genre, except for Catch 22 and Big D and the Kids Table.. but this CD is just great.

Awesome, awesome record. The re-recorded version of it isn't as bad as some people say. I basically love Streetlight because every record basically sounds the same. One of the few bands I feel that way about.

I disagree with this, a lot. Tomas has a style that is really distinct and if you don't like most punk/ska bands and albums then you're more likely to think it all sounds alike anyway.

disagree with what mate? that tomas has a distinct sound from your average pop punk with horns band? sure, i agree. or that he hasn't written the same album 3 times over? that i disagree with. every album since keasbey nights, he's essentially written every song as a add on, or sequel/trilogy to it's counterpart on keasbey nights, eg the self titled keasbey nights track & everything goes numb's "point/counterpoint". they just about all match up really if you listen close enough. while tomas started off with a great distinct sound, he seems unwilling to move past those same paths he's already tread down, wearing out his own sound in a way. but that's just my view, & why the original keasbey nights is his only work i really enjoy, but each to their own
