Truth And Soul
Fishbone

3.3 - I’ll give Dimery credit for expanding my taste in ska by exposing me to the Specials album, which I gave a 4.3. But this Fishbone album just doesn’t do enough to overcome my general disdain for the genre, having lived through the post-Nirvana ska revival. Granted, songs like “Subliminal Fascism” are far more intellectual than “Sell Out” by Reel Big Fish, but, again, it’s still not enough to overcome my ska-induced PTSD. And fuck their “Freddie’s Dead” cover. Other standout: “Question of Life.”
