Since its beginnings, Fishbone has been putting together the winning mix of punk, funk, ska, soul, metal, and reggae that blazed the musical trail followed by such newcomers as Sugar Ray Fishbone cashes in major chips on its Hollywood Records debut. The overwhelming guest includes everyone from Blowfly, George Clinton, and Rick James to Perry Farrell, Flea, and Donny Osmond(!)..
On Fishbone's seventh album, core members Angelo Moore, Norwood Fisher, and Walter Kibby II are musical Pied Pipers who kept the grooves going. Among the highlights are "Where'd You Get Those Pants," a modern-day version of James Brown's "Hot Pants," and the infectious unity shuffle of "One Planet People," bubbling over with Spanish couplets, echo-laced backup vocals, and bright brass. A Meters-worthy social statement ("AIDS & Armageddon") and the Baptist-revival-meets-Buddhist theological throw-down "Karma Tsunami" further add to Fishbone's delightful melange of styles. Covers of The Temptations and Sly Stone may pale beside the righteous reading Fishbone gave "Freddie's Dead" back in 1988, but the band's NUTTWERX originals all chug and churn amidst a flurry of horns, jittery rhythms, and Moore's carnival barker delivery.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...a promising reminder of their funksome power - 'Dear God' is darkly humorous and 'Karma Tsunami' a Madness-at-78rpm party anthem...
Q (04/01/2000)
...Its most dynamite album since 1991's THE REALITY OF MY SURROUNDINGS....returning to the more traditional sounds of funk and ska...
