Review
"SKA Phobia," Tipe-X's electrifying 1999 release, plunges straight into the heart of ska and punk, bursting with energy and rebellious spirit. From the moment "Angan" kicks off, the tone is set for an album that refuses to be tamed. It's a raucous revelation, blending catchy hooks with defiant anthems that can light up the darkest of stages.
Tracks like "Frustasi," with its unforgettable chorus, and "Genit," which flaunts the band's prowess in crafting infectious rhythms, pull you into a whirlwind of sound that feels both fresh and nostalgic. "E.P" and "My World" keep the momentum alive, ensuring you’re on your feet, heart pounding along with the beat. Closing with "Bebas Pusing," Tipe-X ties it all together, demonstrating their masterful fusion of genres. "SKA Phobia" is a visceral journey through the world of ska and punk, an essential listen that resonates with the rebel in all of us. - Tyler
