REEL BIG FISH
Everything Sucks (Mojo)

Reviewed by Shaun Dale



So, your Ebay bidding, gold card owning, hard core record collecting friend has been lording it over you for months. He's got a copy of Everything Sucks and you don't. That rare and precious document of the fun and frantic early days of the Reel Big Fish saga are his, and if you're very nice he let's you listen to a track now and then.

Well, it's your turn. Mojo Records has finally put this thing out in re-release with general distribution to someplace a lot nearer at a price a lot cheaper. What's more, when that high falutin' friend dropped his hundred something bucks, he didn't get the songs "Superhero #5" and "I'm Her Man." But you will. He didn't get the video for "Everything Sucks." But you will. And if you're real nice, you might let him listen. Maybe. If he's real nice. Or maybe if his girlfriend is.

Anyway, it's full of the kind of up tempo, good time pop-ska you'd expect. It's real fun. It's real good. It's Reel Big Fish. Catch it.

Track List:

I'm Cool * Join The Club * Call You * Hate You * I'll Never Be * Boyfriend * Fo' Head * Trendy * Skatanic * Why Do All The Girls Think They're Fat * Say "Ten" * I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend * Jig * Go Away * Beer * Snoop Dog, Baby * Big ****in' Star * **** Yourself * Spin The Globe * I'm Her Man * Super Hero #5
