Somewhere in the Between

Lol. Listening to this almost 20 years on, it feels like listening to a dying star. 3rd wave was such a movement, dissipated, revived, and this felt like the apex of that revival. For me, everything ska after this album was just in permanent decline. Because this album was the artform perfected. everything else after couldn't match it, but it was perfect for those already in the scene. It never had a larger commercial impact in a wider audience, it never brought in new people. So the art form was doomed.

Ska punk, very similar to Goldfinger or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Pretty solid actually. These guys do it well. Reminds me of skate punk music from the 90's that you would hear in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.

Favourite songs: "Down, Down, Down to Mephisto's Cafe", We Will Fall Together, Somewhere in the Between, Would You Be Impressed?, Forty Days, The Receiving End of it All

Least favourite songs: What a Wicked Gang We Are

4/5

I've never really got ska. It's like they're trying to fit too much music and lyrics into too little time.

I got a personality disorder that makes me like this style of ska more than the Operation Ivy type. Gimme less punk, more haunted house music played on brass instruments.

When I was 14 Less than Jake were one of
My favourite bands, Iv never heard of this group before but the music reminded me of what I liked in my younger days. Good accessible ska punk, enjoyed this would I come back to it, probably not now my tastes have changed.

This shit wears thin real quick.
