You do realize that three songs into this seventeen song ska-punk opus, you'll have heard it all, right? Buck-O-Nine has all the elements of good high energy ska-punk: peppy horns, wobbly bass lines and a slightly out of tune "oh-so-punk" singer. But the fact is they repeat themselves stylistically clear through the entire album. My advice for playing Buck-O-Nine is to randomly pick one song, skank your little heart out and then immediately play another album. After the first three songs everything just blurs together into a soundalike mesh of ska-punk. Yes, you have heard it all before and it's a formula that has been overused by far too many bands in the past five years. Perhaps the one break-up in the album is the hilarious "Irish Drinking Song", but that little ditty isn't enough to save the album from monumental genericness.
