About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Similar in sound and approach to their previous release for Capitol (1996's Losing Streak), Hello Rockview shows that Less Than Jake have not lost their appetite for party-laden ska-punk. Horn bursts, rough 'n' melodic vocals, and high-energy performances from the other instrumentalists will please longtime fans, but Hello Rockview doesn't really break any new ground for the band. Still, tracks such as "Help Save the Youth of America from Exploding," "History of a Boring Town," and "Last One Out of Liberty City" would sound perfectly in place at a backyard party, or blaring from the stage of the Warped Tour (on which the band has played on several different occasions). Although many have been tempted to lump Less Than Jake in with the current ska-punk bandwagon, the truth is that they were one of the first bands to combine the two styles back in the early '90s.

May 16, 2008: This album is classic Less Than Jake. It's ska at its best. "Last One Out Of Liberty City" and "All My Best Friends Our Metal Heads" are great, fun songs. If you're a ska fan like I am, then you will not be disappointed with this album.

February 11, 2006: This is indeed LTJ's masterpiece. Not that all their other albums are bad or anything, this is just by far their best. The guitar sounds like some sweet skankin' two tone ska, and the horn section of Two Trombones and a Sax makes this album complete, without their horns, they just aren't the same Band. All songs are catchy, and upbeat, but that is also the album's only shortcoming, in that the songs really don't flow very well.
