    Pros: Aaron is made up of babies

    Cons: WHAT'S THIS CRAP NO BEER SONG OMGWTFLOLBBQ

    The album starts off with "The Fire" and establishes the Reel Big Fish sound that you knew and loved from back in the days of Why Do They Rock So Hard. It's the perfect one-two punch of ska and punk with a sound that's just perfect ...to kick off an album or open a show. The album's second track, "Drinkin'" stands out a lot in my opinion. It's a fantastic little song about forgetting life's lonely problems with the assistance of a certain beverage. Totally awesome words, excellent music, rippin' solo, and stellar vocals... Probably one of my top 3 favorite songs on the CD. "A-W-E-S-O-M-E" is another great one, one of my 3 favorites... Gives you a feeling similar to "The Set Up (You Need This)" or "Good Thing" that just begs to be sang along to. "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" is the album's first cover (of three) and another one of my three favorite songs. Kickin' vocals, skankin' beat, it's got everything I love about Reel Big Fish covers plus a diss to No Doubt. It holds the honor of being the album's first song to get stuck in my head. Songs like "Turn The Radio Off," "One Hit Wonderful," and "Last Show" show an optimistic (ha) view on the music industry and the want to stay in it and "The Bad Guy" and "Your Guts (I Hate 'Em)" continue, embrace, and add to the spirit of songs like "You Don't Know" and "All I Want Is More" but musically they're miles away, but still in Ska-town. The album's first single (a cover), "Talkin' Bout A Revolution" is a ska/reggae trip that keeps you bouncing for all it's three minutes and twenty-four seconds. Reel Big Fish are back in full force with innovative lyrics, over the top vocals, blazing guitar solos, hummable horn lines, furious bass, and of course, the sarcastic wit and humor that makes me love them so much. Great job to the RBF and to everyone else: TURN THE RADIO OFF AND GO BUY WE'RE NOT HAPPY 'TIL YOU'RE NOT HAPPY!!! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy

  • All Music Guide

    We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy is Reel Big Fish's first album in three years. But if the title isn't a giveaway, this feels more like an embittered farewell than a triumphant return. The artwork features a bonfire built from mangled instruments, the band fight against a sinking ship, and frontman Aaron Barrett sings angrily about his band, thankless fans, record industry stupidity, and a few exgirlfriends. And yet, as they did with the 1996 hit "Sell Out," Reel Big Fish attach their cynicism to buoyant melodies, ringing guitars, and charming inflections of their thirdwave past. For a band so angry about their state of being, Reel Big Fish sure seem game to keep plugging away, and this conflicted sentiment makes We're Not Happy confusing. "One Hit Wonderful" begins with a montage of "flashback lunch" radio DJs and snippets of "Sell Out" before slamming fickle fans into an Irish drinking song sway. "Last Show" pulls even fewer punches "I've learned my lesson/I'll never follow my ...dreams again," Barrett sings but it's one of We're Not Happy's hookiest tracks. Even the covers are telling, as Big Fish fry up skapunk'd versions of Social Distortion's "Story of My Life" (where they sound exactly like Smash Mouth) and Morrissey's "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." (Another cover, Tracy Chapman's "Talkin' Bout a Revolution," misses the point completely.) What do Reel Big Fish really want? Opener "Fire" is a refreshing blast in the vein of classic Operation Ivy, but it also considers the futility of making music. Then there's the selfexplanatory "Don't Start a Band." It has none of the veteran's tone of warning, à la Less Than Jake's 2003 LP Anthem; it just hammers home record biz shenanigans over another sunny skapunk hook. "Turn the Radio Off" is the final word, denouncing the industry, radio, its "zombie" listeners, and seemingly by association, Reel Big Fish themselves. And naturally it's super catchy. - Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Reel Big Fish

Reel Big Fish were one of the legions of Southern California ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the commercial success of No Doubt and Sublime. Like most of their peers, the band was distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humor, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska. The group cultivated an underground follo... Read more
