20th Century Masters - The Millenium Collection: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
About This Album
Throughout the late '90s, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Sublime paved the way for many ska-punk bands to make an appearance on commercial alternative radio and (thanks to their commercials) help to usher in a new generation of Chuck Taylor-Converse-sneaker-wearing-Two Tone fans . This latest installment in the 20th Century Masters collection covers the second half of the Bosstones' career. From the opening moments of "Someday I Suppose" to their cover of Kiss' "Detroit Rock City," it's a trip down memory lane, crowned by the album's prime jewel, the chart-topping crossover hit "The Impression That I Get." This is the only disc casual fans of the group will ever need, and one that diehards could use as a supplementary greatest hits until a full anthology spanning the group's entire career is issued. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
I sat down and had a couple of drinks with Dicky and Nathan at the Cattle Club in Sacramento. We spoke of fan mail mostly and what it meant to Dicky. I saw them in a small club in Connecticut too. Fun band. Would love to hear their version of DRC. Without Guns and the Young on here, it's just not quite complete.
