Review
'Turn the Radio Off' launches like a rocket-propelled skateboard into the stratosphere of 90s ska punk! Reel Big Fish's second album blasts through 42 minutes of horn-slammed, punk-fueled musical mayhem that'll have you thrashing around your living room like you're dropping into a half-pipe. The mega-hit 'Sell Out' shreds hardest of all, carving its way onto radio stations nationwide and pulling sick moves in video games like 'FIFA 2000' and 'Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure.' That album cover? Total wipeout-crazy with radio dude Jed the Fish being held at gunpoint – classic 90s edge-riding visual that matches the no-brakes energy inside.
Recorded in Santa Monica, this gold-certified adrenaline-fest pumps out the perfect soundtrack for your next downhill mountain bike run or street skating session. The band mixes brass-blasting intensity with punk rock velocity for a full-throttle listening experience that still gets fans amped nearly three decades later. Reel Big Fish rail-grinds the line between catchy and chaotic, creating a total air-grabbing masterpiece that helped define the mid-90s ska revival scene. My adrenaline rating? Solid 9.5/10 – perfect for everything from aggressive rollerblading to catching major air on your BMX! This album doesn't just ride the wave of ska punk – it does a triple backflip off it! - Kendra
