Less Than Jake's major-label debut, Losing Streak, is a reasonably engaging collection of frenzied, party-ready metallic ska-punk, but the group doesn't offer enough personality or hooky songs to distinguish themselves from their contemporaries. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

This is definitely LTJs best CD ever. It goes back to their ska days and is a necessity for any ska fan.

 one of my first and only ska albums
just so you know, only on certain CDs in the hidden track, you have to pause the track at 1 00:00:00 then rewind into the negitives so it'll look like -00:40:00 and you'll get the hidden track. anyway long live these cool dude, toured with them once in the early 00's and they were great.

This CD is awesome. This is what really established Less Than Jake in the public scene. This is a great album, full of catchy horns and just overall great ska. Some would say this is LTJ's best album, but I tend to like their newer stuff. That's the only reason I gave it a four, because I was comparing it to those. It's worth it if you are a LTJ fan at all.

Principally recorded at NRG and The Hook, Hollywood, California; Front Page Studios, Burbank, California; Sonica, London, England from April through June 1997.
With the arrival of Save Ferris, the mid-'90s Cali-based ska-punk meltdown officially gets upgraded to an invasion. Full of candy-glossed, R&B-ish horns playing many BPM above the speed limit, four-on-the-floor punk guitars, and downbeat tempo breaks, IT MEANS EVERYTHING, the Orange ...

| | Gregory Isaacs Private Beach Party CD (1985)
Losing Streak
$12.25
Although it was 1988's Red Rose for Gregory that really fired the imagination of international audiences, Private Beach Party, unleashed three years earlier, was immensely popular in its day, and drove reggae fans worldwide to distraction. Both sets were produced by Gussie Clarke, and boasted some of his most sizzling rhythms.
In 1985, ragga was beginning to steamroll across the Jamaican dancehalls, but Party still has a wonderfully organic quality, even though it's aimed straight at the sound systems. The musicianship is superb, with Sly Dunbar, Willie Stewart, Lloyd Parks, and Robbie Shakespeare laying down the sizzling rhythms, while guitarist Willie Lindo, pianists/synth players Franklin Waul and Robbie Lyn build up the melodies and moods, and the superb brass section of Dean Fraser, Nambo Robinson, Chico Chin and Dave Madden take the songs to new heights.
And what glorious heights they are. Clarke has the wizard's touch, and can take even a sweet and intimate number like the title track or a bubbly love song like "Special to Me" and conjure up plenty of dancehall fire. And no matter if Isaacs himself is in "Bits and Pieces" after his lover leaves, the band refuse to let him dampen their spirits, lost in the mellifluous groove they're creating, which reaches a sizzling climax on "Promise Is a Comfort," while the singer himself bemoans his lover's promises meant nothing. "Wish You Were Mine" boasts the kind of backing that will send even the most despondent into an irie mood. "Feeling Irie" ...
