More Noise and Other Disturbances, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 1992, :30
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Who doesn't love ska? Not me! This is the Bosstones' second album. I've loved these guys a long time. If you've heard anything by them, you've more or less heard them all. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what you enjoy. Gravelly voice, loud horns, tongue-twisting, mildly clever lyrics. Favorite tracks: "Awfully Quiet," "What's At Stake."

Where'd You Go, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 1991, :13

This EP — their second release — is a lot heavier than their later stuff. A riotous cover of "Sweet Emotion" basically renders it unrecognizable (but not better); "Enter Sandman," the best track, is much more straightforward.
