Our Take

In a world ready for some musical salvation, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have returned with their latest offering, "When God Was Great." And let me tell you, this album is a ska-filled delight that will have you skanking all night long.

From the opening track "Decide" to the final notes of "The Killing of Georgie (Part III)," the Bosstones deliver their signature blend of ska punk with a newfound sense of urgency. The horns blare, the guitars shred, and frontman Dicky Barrett's gravelly vocals soar above it all like a preacher in a mosh pit.

But don't let the title fool you - this album is far from a religious experience. Instead, the Bosstones dive deep into themes of nostalgia, unity, and resilience, all while keeping the party vibes alive and kicking. Tracks like "Bruised" and "Lonely Boy" tug at the heartstrings, while "The Truth Hurts" and "It Went Well" will have you jumping around like a madman.

Sure, some may say ska is a dead genre, but The Mighty Mighty Bosstones prove with "When God Was Great" that it's alive and kicking. So grab your checkered Vans, dust off your trombone, and get ready to skank your way into ska heaven with this triumphant return from Boston's finest. Praise be to the Bosstones, for they have delivered unto us a mighty record indeed.

About the artist

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Behold, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the ska-punk legends that have been skanking their way into our hearts since the early 90s. Hailing from Boston (surprise, surprise), this nine-piece collective of musical misfits have been igniting dance floors and inciting mosh pits with their infectious tunes and energetic live shows for decades. Led by the charismatic frontman Dicky Barrett, whose gravelly vocals and larger-than-life presence always leave audiences craving more, the Bosstones have carved out a unique niche in the punk scene with their signature blend of ska, punk, and hardcore influences. Their music is a frenetic cocktail of horn blasts, frenzied guitars, and irresistible hooks that will have you skanking like there's no tomorrow. But don't be fooled by their fun-loving skank-a-thons and catchy sing-along choruses, there's a depth and sincerity to the Bosstones' music that sets them apart from their ska-punk counterparts. Songs like "The Impression That I Get" and "Someday I Suppose" tackle serious themes of self-doubt, frustration, and resilience, all while keeping the energy levels cranked up to 11. With a discography spanning over three decades, the Bosstones have proven time and time again that they are not just a flash in the pan ska act. They are a force to be reckoned with, a band that continues to push boundaries and defy expectations with each new release. So put on your checkerboard suit, lace up your Doc Martens, and get ready to skank 'til you drop with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. You won't regret it.
