Nobody else is as good at playing ska without sounding like
a nostalgia-act; this is not an 80s tribute album. It's also not
an overproduced, synthetic top 40 piece of plastic like No
Doubt. The trademark Bosstone shifts from homs and ska
to mean, raging guitars are represented by "Numbered
Days," the story of the end of a violont thug, and the a
ruption "De-Sensitized." But the band isn't afrad

That I Get is a clever, thoughtful song about dealing with
tragedy, from the vantage point of someone who has never
had to. And "Another Drinking Song' will probably have the
crowds dancing all over the place, even though the tide is at
least slightly ironic. Speaking of crowds, do not miss your
chance to see the Bosstones live. It isn't passible to have

$4.99, this is an offer you'd best accept. 73 minutes of
classic bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today
thrown in with newer ones like Sense Field, it's hard to miss
hearing the development of that crunchy Rev sound. The
mix of hardcore with Metallica-type guitars peaked with
Quicksand and Burn, both represented by amazing songs.
Great tunes include "Say it to My Face" by Underdog and
Into Another's 'To Be Free." Revelation still plays host to
the hardcore with Ignite's semi-successful Rob
Halford-style vocals, but the label has broadened to include
such groups as Chinchilla and Engine Kid-DBH... What's
