In With The Out Crowd - Less Than Jake > Reviews

Advantages: A couple of tracks are quite enjoyable.
Disadvantages: The album on the whole is really rather disappointing.

...band Less Than Jake and in truth is not one that I hold in particularly high regard at all. That said, it is by no means a bad album, it's just not a great one.

The tracks are still pretty fast, as is typical for a ska band, but the tunes are now caught in the guitars, rather than the brass. However the last track 'P.S Shock The World' seems to be Less Than Jake returning to their ska roots. For the hardcore ska-only fan, this Less ... Read review
