Full review

This is the latest offering from prestigious American Skacore legends Voodoo Glow Skulls. The band have been around for some time now, but on this new album they show no signs of slowing down and are still creating the amazing music they always were. There are 14 tracks on display here and none will disappoint. It may be argued by some that the band have produced greater albums in the past, but when you are a band with a string of amazing albums then it's always going to be hard to live up to people's expectations. Personally I think the band have done well here and come up with another fine album of Skacore greatness. I have always been a huge fan of the band and this album certainly doesn't rock my faith in any way, shape, or form.

This is a truly amazing album and I actually can't name a track on the CD that I don't like. When I received the CD and read the press pack I was surprised to see that the band had chosen to do a cover of Guns 'n' Roses 'Used to Love Her,' however the band have pulled off this cover really well and made a fine tune. It really does sound good placed at the end of the album and rounds the CD off nicely. This turned out to be one of the surprise highlights of the album for me, with other stand out tracks for me being 'DD Don't Like Ska,' 'Cochino,' 'Ghettoblaster,' and 'Eville.' That's just picking songs at random really though because there's nothing here that doesn't appeal to me, and I think that the band have successfully produced another truly astonishing album of Skacore genius. The thing I love about the Voodoo Glow Skulls is their silky smooth horn section as it always sounds amazing - I find a lot of Skacore bands seem to fall short on their horn section skill but VGS horns always sound superb, slick, and sexy.

I strongly suggest that you invest in this album if you are a fan of Ska, Skacore, Hardcore, or Punk as there will definitely be some pleasing material on here for you that you will truly love. I really can't praise this band enough - they are just one of the greatest Skacore bands ever and even after all this time are stilly churning out some quality albums.
