Ich mag die Bosstones, v.a. Let's Face it, Don't Know How To Party und Question The Answers. Aber dieser Song ist nun wirklich Schlager pur. Viele Gäste machen noch lange keinen guten Song...

Hellacat und die Bosstones passt wie Arsch auf Eimer.
Zum Song : Kein Highlight und viel zu lang, aber Schlager finde ich viel zu hart. Hoffentlich sind die meisten Gäste nicht schon hier verbraten worden. Insgesamt hoffe ich, dass da noch Attraktiveres auf der Platte wartet.

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES

ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM

WHEN GOD WAS GREAT

OUT MAY 7 VIA HELLCAT!



Ska-punk pioneers The Mighty Mighty BossToneS will release their 11th studio record When God Was Great on May 7 via Hellcat Records.



Co-produced by longtime collaborator Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphys) and Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong (Transplants, Jimmy Cliff), When God Was Great is the culmination of their extensive and all-embracing career and sees the band bringing back friends, tourmates, and bandmates from the past for a sonic celebration that stresses the power of perseverance and human connection during tumultuous times. The album features 15-tracks that initially arose out of a collective sense of loss.

“We were lightly writing songs before the insanity without any sort of timeline in mind. All of a sudden, the world changed and benchmark events in a very long career that we were looking forward to, such as playing with the Madness at the Greek Theatre, were taken away from us,” explains frontman Dicky Barrett. “With all of this time on our hands, we started writing at a quickened pace and we were really inspired. As grim as everything around us was in the outside world, this was the most fun we ever had making a record.”

Today, the band shares their new single “I DON’T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING”.

Das Album macht richtig Spaß

Mir nicht. Finde es viel zu behäbig, fast schon schlagermässig. Ich vermisse punkigere Songs wie bspw. 1-2-8 oder einfach flotte Nummern wie The Rascal King.

Aber in Sachen Ska-Punk hat dieses Jahr sowieso Jeff Rosenstock die Nase vorn. Sein Album Ska Dream ist wahnsinnig gut und hat die Power und Spielfreude, die ich bei den Bosstones vermisse.
