More Specials

Iemand stak laatst de loftrompet tegen mij over deze band, terwijl ik ze eigenlijk niet ken. Ik weet niet meer wie dat was en dat is maar goed ook.

хуета

only song i really liked is ghost town which sounds like its by a completely different band is only on the second disc of the deluxe edition.

Album kinda was a mess, and ska just usually isn’t good

More Specials? No. No more Specials.

I hate ska almost as much as reggae and bad hip hop

I’ll file this under “head scratcher”. I’m left wondering if it’s intentionally bad and that’s why it’s considered great art? 1/5

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

I liked reading other people’s reviews so I will try to start leaving one. But I feel bad because I haven’t liked a lot of them lol. This one included

i dig

Can't say I "enjoyed myself". Kinda bland with no real direction (reggae-ish attempt tempo-wise??)

Had a really hard time getting through the album. I felt the recording quality was poor and the music was just not my taste.

"International Jet Set" was, at the very least, an interesting listen. "Enjoy Yourself", along with its reprise, are like the song "It's a Small World After All": songs that will drive one to insanity if played on a loop. This album could go on the list of albums that I could have gone a lifetime without hearing. Ladies and gentlemen: The Mundanes!

Ska is just not for me. I tried

I put up with the first Specials album (gave it 3 stars, when I probably should have given it 2). I'm currently four songs into this album, and I hate it. And it never got better. Pearl's Cafe is a war crime.

Ass

super dumb christmas reggae ska or something like that? seriously, it goes full on xmassy at times. yucko.

There are quite a few words one could accurately use to describe this album. The last one I'd use is special.

no

No thank you

Reminds me of shitty Christmas songs

The music is fine but the vocals are AWFUL and the mixing seemed to be done by an amateur. Half the songs sounded "muddy", the music overwhelmed the vocals (which may have been a blessing) and the other half the vocals and the music didn't blend together and sounded like a bad demo tape. Also the female voice that did "harmony" on some of the tracks was just horrendous.

This was a particularly bad album. The songs were pretty bizarre and it felt that they were unpolished. All this makes sense when I read they were an early ska style band. Ingenuitive to some they may be but to me this was pretty tough to get through. 3.3/10

03/30/2022 Nope. Absolutely not for me, and a struggle to even finish.

Couldn’t finish, really bad. Ska mix of horror music.

A enjoy yourself é boa, o resto é mto ruim

Eccentric album, a song about James Bond? Reggae? Feels very British, sounds semi-Caribbean. Not particularly my cuppa.
