this is really good pop but terrible reggae, what happened to all the fun supervillains ska without all the effected vocals and cheesy 90's rap synth. if you liked this song listen to their previous albums because they're on a whole other level (p.s. the live and acoustic versions of this song are so good)
I think the Supervillains new sound is great, although it wasn't QUITE what I expected. It's full on reggae with some ska and even a few rocksteady elements now, which is fine with me. I do like their older stuff better (Horseshoes & Hand Grenades being my favorite - though Smoke 'Em is probably my favorite Supervillains song).
Oh and im seeing the supervillains on the 7th so this saturday! first time! and i hope that theyll play more of the ganja music not so much punkish stuff. but anyway i cant wait! CHYEAH!
This economy is hitting bands too; the free market favors easy listening. I'm certainly not going to fault them for making the smart choice of changing style to stay in the music business. Their old stuff really wasnt that great to begin with (their cover of billy joel representing the best they had to offer). Case and point, kudos Supervillains, on doing what you got to, to stay in the music game.
@knot2clvr You're assuming their goal is to make money. "stay in the music business."? They were never part of that music business to begin with. They're in the ska/reggae business, where selling out requires banishment. The last three times they've come through here they've played with Less than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, and the Mad Caddies. It doesn't even make sense to me.
That being said, a few of the new songs are growing on me.
@dasgemuse Because it's in. Just listen to how The Supervillains have changed. This can't be viewed as progression for a ska band, I'm sorry. They're dumbing down their sound to appeal to the push in popularity of reggae bands.
@dasgemuse reminds me more of bands like the hippos and mad caddies of the early 2000's than owl city. keyboards were big in ska bands then. I've always liked the sound combination.

@jwboyd85652 Oh, and I couldn't help but notice that this album has not even one single mention of the herb...I wonder why that is...

I saw them at Sunfest when I was back in FL. They put on awesome show! I also saw them in Greensboro, NC opening for the Wailers.
