Review

Rolling Stone (12/25/97, p.168) - "...taut, clean, hyperkinetic--and a freeze-dried representation of the band's contagious joie de skank....It's harder to get a lasting grip on music so fast, clean and focused for radio..."

Title Note

Personnel includes: Brian Dewyer, Dan McLaughlin, John Rosenberg, Sean Slade.

Recorded at Bearsville Sound Studios, Bearsville, New York and Fort Apache Studios, Cambridge, Massachusets.

Among the leading exponents of the so-called third wave of ska, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones won the devotion of the two-tone crowd by marrying a heavy-metal guitar roar to the skanky downbeat. On LET'S FACE IT, the Boston octet's fifth album, the rock roar has been subdued in some places and expanded in others.

On the one hand, the band has refocused on its Jamaican musical tradition: "Royal Oil" features a completely dubbed-out bass line, and "The Rascal King" is as radio-friendly as any Specials classic. But the arena-punk-rock side of the Bosstones is enlarged and furthered as well. "Desensitized" is all thrash roar and funky horns; "That Bug Bit Me" cops a Rocket From The Crypt hook, line and sinker; and "Numbered Days" opens with a mock-Clash riff and then heavies up into Metallica territory (complete with a James Hetfield-esque vocal turn from Dicky Barrett). It all goes to show that you can simultaneously learn your history and not repeat it.
