Free Music Notes for Let's Face It

Free Music Review: This band was WAY better when they were young and hungry
Hit: 2 Stars

I think it is very sad what happened to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. They started off with the best intentions and sadly something fell apart in the machine. Their late fan-base of young kids and main-streamers is quite likely clueless (no pun intended) to the gem this band once was in their youth. For a few short moments, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones were a band synonomous with good times.

In the early to mid-90's those Taang! recordings and even the first major label full length disk were one of the most FUN little secrets in music. It was just... fun stuff. I repeat the word FUN because no other word seems to fit better. The Bosstones in the early days were wild. College radio loved them, great clubs like Trenton City Gardens and the Trocadero in Philly booked them practically monthly to sell out shows with lines around the block. They brought some great opening acts with them as well and EVERYBODY had an "I met Dicky Barrett" story. There was stage diving and crowd surfing and fresh set lists for multiple night gigs. You always left a mid 90's Bosstones show drenched in sweat and reeling from the adrenaline rush.

Then something serious rotted out in the foundation. I don't feel I am qualified to fairly explain why, but after the "Don't Know How to Party tour", this band took a monster nosedive. I recall MAJOR disappointment was the vibe on that yellow album, "Question the Answers?" or something. Musically this album is uneven, but a little better than the last. It is mainly recognized for it's "commercial" break-thru and the "hit" singles. The Bosstones hit it big with this album. "The Impression That I Get" becomes THE song... piling a layer of dirt on ALL the fine memories and material of the past. The live shows MUTATED for the worse too. The band seemed ROBOTIC. They played the SAME stuff over and over for years.

To quote (of all people) Apollo Creed , the Bosstones lost that "Eye of the Tiger" or something... This album is like that 5th Rocky movie in a way. It's all grown up, more worldly and wise. It tries to write mature songs with better chops and carry forward, but it can't compare with the fire of the early days of hard earned glory. Back when they were hungry this band was great.

If you want to climb up the Art Museum stairs, rock out to their Taang! records; they are classics. It is a shame this band did not age well.

Let's Face It Poster

Virtually an institution after a decade on the scene, Boston's finest ska band continues to deliver an extreme adrenaline rush on its fifth album, which was produced by Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade. The metal edge in the Bosstone's particular brand of skacore comes further to the forefront this time, while songs such as "Noise Brigade" and "Royal Oil" rank among the catchiest they've recorded. And Nate Albert continues to carve out a new role for the guitar in ska-influenced music. Jim Derogatis
