Review

This is album is the follow up to Less Than Jake's best CD Losing Streak. Although it does come very close to being the best, it falls short in a couple of areas. Let me start of by saying that this is the debut album for Pete, the new trombone player (Jessica, the sax player, left the band for some apparent reason). Since they only have one sax and two trombones now, (instead of having two sax and one trombone while Jessica was in the band) they have an overall "happier", lighter tone. While this doesn't take away from the music at all, it's rather different than past outings. Another thing I've noticed from this album, is that it focuses on the horns more so than previous recordings. But overall, this is a solid CD that no fan
of Less Than Jake should miss.
