Turn The Radio Off - Reel Big Fish
Rating: 6.25/10

From the very entertaining videos, to the humorous lyrics, you can't take this album very seriously. It is very good though. It is upbeat, happy, fun to listen to, but in order to get the most out of this album you have to be into ska. Reel Big Fish is 3 times the 'ska' band that No Doubt, now, is and you will probably realize that after listening to tracks like "241" and "Suburban Rhythm".

Even though the band is insanely funny, the lyrics still make sense. You can't help but laugh while listening to "Say 'Ten'", with lyrics like: "How can I sleep when carrots are bleeding, plants are screaming, & tomatoes cry." But songs like "Skatanic" are more like Ska-Core.

Reel Big Fish keep the silly, fun, ska style throught the whole album. If you are into ska I reccommend that you buy this album, go home, crank up the volume, and skank your heart out.
