They're BACK! Reel Big Fish returns with CANDY COATED FURY, featuring 14 brand, spanking new tracks. The new album from Orange County, CA's Ska pioneers features the single "Hiding in My Headphones" and a soon to be classic RBF "I Love / You Suck".
Probablemente el mejor disco de la banda. Acido, directo y con melodías muy pegadizas. Un disco indispensable para todos aquellos que disfruten escuchando ska-punk rock.
So I'm going to go ahead and admit right here, this is probably not a great first introduction to the fish but if your used to and enjoy a happy sounding album, with crude lyrics- this is something that most fish fans area already well familiar with- I'm sure you will enjoy Candy Coated Fury.
Even as a 30 yr old woman in a wonderful marriage with a normal boring office job, I really enjoy heading out to the fish shows and singing loud to some song that drops more f-bombs in 2 minutes than I drop in a year outside of their shows, with people in the crowd randomly pointing at strangers & the band they love and yelling f-you and making friends with the same people moments later. My iPod is full of these type of RBF songs and when someone has annoyed me at work, I enjoy it just as much on the way home. There is something wonderfully cathartic about doing something so ridiculous, with musical style that emphasizes just how ridiculous it is. If that sounds horrible to you, then you might not be ready for the fish army.
This album embraces being a big ol dork. If you want to be mistaken for someone cool or mature when someone hears your music, you might pass on this too. I personally will continue to embrace all the nerd factor that comes with the fish. ;)
Oh, we have waited for this! The old RBF are back to their very best with this new collection of great tunes and dodgy lyrics.
They haven't been around for a while and the last covers album was pretty unimpressive. However, they are back with great verve and enthusiasm, making the music we love.
If you know their music, there will no surprises, except that it is so good. If you don't know the music, give it a try. you won't regret it-honest!
