The Suspects, How I
learned to stop worrying and love the ska (What it is)
You can tell it's a ska album--the sleeve's black and white Two Tone
tribute is enough...and it's got "ska" in the title, I
suppose. Although the genre rarely seems to give itself a great deal
of room in which to mess around, the Suspects haved eked themselves
out a corner and proceded to kick up a storm in it. They take the
traditional ska elements but aren't afraid to experiment, even to the
extreme of starting one song with a distorted guitar riff that
wouldn't be out of place on "Bleach" and then not following it up with
cack-handed ska-punk (thank God) but twisting it into a regular ska
track. As always with this type of band, however they sound on record,
you'd imagine they'd be better live; but if they're even half as good
as this shows, you'd be in for a cracking time. No worries.
