Pros: One of the best punk albums of all time, 27 great songs, positive message, high energy Cons: Was their only real full length album! One of the only ska albums I like.
Pros: Diverse musical styles, thoughtful lyrics, 27 excellent songs. Cons: Some of the lyrics might seem a bit clicheed 14 years after they were written. Bottom Line: Punk-ska fusion at its best!
