Less Than Jake
 

There may already be less than jake threads, but what the heck.

Less Than Jake is a ska-driven pop-punk band that makes great music. Check them out, if you havent.

Still need to get the new album...

no, you really dont.

yes, i do have an exceedingly closed mind when it comes to less than jake.
& im also quite comfortable with it.

aaahhhhh....less than jake was such a great band but their new album is horrible...were did all their ska talent go?

eh, they have their ups and downs.

The only album you should ever listen to is Hello Rockview.

I was never a fan.

like their older stuff, but with their new stuff im not that keen, i just think they could do alot better.

I concur. :beer:

I despise this band.
They held up Maylene for like 20 minutes.

And they suck.

*bump*

Im not really one for ska usually, but I love this band. My favorites are "Sugar in your gas tank" and "The science of selling yourself short." Can someone recommend some similar bands (and please dont say Reely Big Fish).

I havent actually listened to anything by this band in 3 years and i really liked them too,. *goes to download*

Bueno

I actually really like LTJ's music. "Overrated" and "The Science Of Selling Yourself Short" are all great songs, with great vibes. I always sing along to them everytime I hear them. They're not my favorite ska band, but they'r eup there. I think what they do, especially in today's music world is more unique than other bands.

ehh, I liked them in 8th grade. Now I can barely tolerate them.

Used to like this band alot, but some of their newer stuff have strayed me away

Still love and listen to Losing Streak...really the only CD I like from them.

This is a rock band.
Yeah, their newer stuff has been either mediocre or bad with the exception of Hello Rockview and Anthem. Losing Streak is my favorite as well. You should try Pezcore and Losers, Kings, and Things We Don't Understand. Both of those are almost as good as Losing Streak.

Not a Ska band?

Less Than Jake certainly considers themselves ska and they at least have a heavy ska influence, though they are certainly not a traditional ska band. There earlier material was all ska/punk and there newer material is pop-punk. They appear to be working on another ska/punk album at the moment.

It won't be as good as the earlier ska/punk albums. I thjink like you said, the newer stuff is alot more pop punk-ish, I think once you turn pop punk, you can never go back to your roots.

They definitely were Ska punk in their earlier albums, but their last two albums were really pop punk with minor ska parts and really sparing use of their horn players. As pop punk they weren't that bad really. Hopefully though they turn back to a ska punk style in their upcoming album.

Definitely would agree with that. I was a little disappointed at the lack of horns in the last few albums, but I can't say it was bad. Heard snippets of the new album, hopefully it'll be good, especially since they're not with Warner Brothers anymore.

I used to have their Anthem album....I have no clue what happned to it, any help?

I bought it on iTunes a few years ago....other than that, ya got me.

man they were awsome before they got big.

that sounds like such a cliche statement but its true to me

Sorry, I'm not really into this particular genra. However, I was wondering, is Less than Jake the same band that did that song "sell out" like 10 years ago?

that would be Reel Big Fish. A very good band IMO.


so I have the new album GNV FLA and I have to say its quite awesome. A lot more ska punk and Handshake Meets Pokerface is now one of my favorite Less Than Jake songs.

Hey go for it, we need more threads here.

anthem is really their only good album except for maybe the one with the superman guy on the cover...cant remember what its called and i havent heard their new album

i agreee anthem is their best work...and dont bother with the new album it is ****

thanks for telling me now...i already got it and realized that myself

considering i just joined yesterday...

try taking a joke n00b

Anthems is not even close to being their best.

is that their best album

what is it then?

My favorite of there albums are Losing Streak and Hello Rockview. I'm not that big a fan of Anthem, though it has some good tracks.

What's with the GNV FLA hate? I thought it was pretty good.

Hello Rockview is the best...Anthem is a close second

Losing Streak
Pezcore
Hello Rockview
GNV FLA
