Pez Collection, The [Digipak] - Less Than Jake

Advantages: Fantastic songs, will make you enjoy ska music.
Disadvantages: The occasional poor song.

...Less than Jake, are, without doubt the best ska band around at the moment. If you've never heard of ska, but like punk, then you will love ska. 'Hello Rockview' is the best album released by the band no questions asked. With superb song titles such as 'All my best friends are metalheads', 'Scott Farcas takes it on the chin' and 'Richard Allen George.... no its just Cheez' and awesome songs to match, you can not afford to pass on this album. Generally, this album comes in a two with 'Losing Streak' but if not, buy it anyway! Following the examples of other albums released by LTJ such as 'Losers, Kings and Things we don't Understand' and the legendary 'Pez Collection', 'Hello Rockview' will blow you away with songs like 'Big Crash', 'Nervous in the Alley', 'Sit Down' and 'All my best friends are Metalheads'. The CD jacket is also... Read review

Advantages: cool beat
Disadvantages: foul language

...Less Than Jake is a great punk/ska/rock band from Gainsville, FL. The first track entitled "Automatic" is their best song on the album. It is very cool. "Sugar in your gas tank" is another of my favorites on Losing Streak. The first time I purchased this cd, I listened to the whole cd all the way through (a first for me, I usually skim) But, I realized, each song has their own original lyrics and beat to it. "How's my driving, Doug Hastings" is a sardonic song, but it is so awesome. Most of Less Than Jake's albums are just awesome and fun to listen to. The Pez-loving band really puts together a high-energy, crowd-pumping, all-around pure ska-punk mix in Losing Streak. I highly recommend you pick up a copy today even though the album has been around for a while. This is their best album out and if you're a LTJ fan, you must have it. I... Read review

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...This Album is absolutely BRILLIANT, SUPERB, FANTASTIC, UPBEAT, CATCHY, AMAZING Less than jake are a fairly little known, pez loving, head thumping band from that huge place, the U S of A ,combining punk, metal and jazz together with great vocals and superb instrumentals to provide 14 tracks of bliss. This is themed about city life, giving the name to such songs as nervous in the alley, last one out of liberty city and history of a boring town. This album also includes the outstanding track ALL MY BEST FRIENDS ARE METALHEADS, which has all the right ingredients, namely great guitar bits, easy-to-learn words, melodys that only appear when you play it loud and A SUPERB INTRO GET THIS ALBUM NOW, NOW NOW NOW oh by the way did I mention GET IT NOW YOU FOOLS...
