Aquabats Charge!! CD

 Rawr Blah Blah.
Ah ha... you silly kids. If you know absolutely anything about the Aquabats, you'll know that they are NOT ska. They don't label themselves as ska, and most of all, when asked, they'll flat out deny it. Just because they have some horns, doesn't make them religiously ska. Just like fast, sloppy guitar playing doesn't make you metal. The album was genious, and literally the essence of The Aquabats. I fell in love with literally every track, and I really think this goes to show how far the aquabats have come. It's a different sound, but in a good way.

 Upsetting
In a word, Charge! is upsetting. The Aquabats have headed down the same street that NOFX did; they've completely abandoned ska. It's undenyable that some of the songs on Charge! are catchy, but none of them can compare to the upbeat, energy filled tracks previously recorded on Fury. I expected much more.

 It's about time
Finally the Aquabats have a record label that supports them and appreciates the direction they have been heading for years. All these songs on CHARGE!! were written years ago, so I knew the horns would be absent, and I love it. I like ska, but the Aquabats are going to get much more respect without the horns. Don't waste another penny on a CD unless it's CHARGE!!

 A modern aqua cd for us modern bats
This is a very good cd. The lack of horns is dissappointing, but hey the synthezizer and keyboard are cool too. It is far better than the floating eye cd by far(their worst album in my opinion). I get the feeling that this cd is a more mature sound or direction the bats are going in. The humor is there, but it's not like "worms make dirt" kinda humor. If you have never listened to the aquabats and aren't inclined to like ska much, then pick this one up. You will not regret it. If you do enjoy ska, then pick up "The Fury" as I still consider it to be their best album(but then again i really like ska and horns!)
