A little bitch about loved ones.

I have the new Reel Big Fish album. It's disappointing that it's just a cover album, but as I haven't heard or don't really recollect any of the songs they've covered, listening to it sort of makes me feel as if I'm listening to an album of new, original material. One of which they aren't actually releasing until later this year. Meh.


It breaks my heart to say it because it's a Reel Big Fish album, but it's pretty balls. I don't really know any of the songs they've covered, but ska covers tend to suck big time. Fast and funny covers of songs that aren't fast and funny just do not work, although their cover of Take On Me, not located on this album, is fantastic. But, I'm not going to count this among the Reel Big Fish albums, so it doesn't break my heart that much. Not like We're Not Happy Til You're Not Happy, which was an album of original material that was also balls. But then, that doesn't really count, because they just rushed that album because they wanted to end their contract with Jive Records. Christ, I'm hoping their next album reaches close to the heights of the first three (not including Everything Sucks).

I'm hoping that their gig in February isn't composed mostly of these covers. I'm sure they're not that stupid.
