The firecrackers on the sleeve give a good idea of what to expect on this Florida ska-punk group's third major-label album after a brief sojourn back in the indie world. Horns, chugging guitars, and crashing rhythms mesh to create a high-energy racket that refuses to subside until the band has rolled out its raucous closing cover version of Cheap Trick's "Surrender." The label turbulence does little to affect its angular wit, as focus returns to the heady party vibes of the group's hugely successful major label debut, Losing Streak: pogo-driven "Best Wishes to Your Black Lungs" and "That's Why They Call It a Union" are standard-issue Less Than Jake. As with the band's other releases, the music inspires clear feelings of love and hate.

Song Lyrics

Best Wishes To Your Black Lung
Escape From The A-Bomb House
Look What Happened
Motown Never Sounded So Good
Plastic Cup Politics
Portrait Of A Cigarette Smoker At Age 19
She's Gonna Break Soon
Short Fuse Burning
Surrender
Thatâ€™s Why They Call It A Union
The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out
The Ghosts Of Me And You
The Science of Selling Yourself Short
The Upwards War And The Down Turned Cycle
Welcome To The New South
