Not only LTJ's best work, but also one of the best ska albums ever produced, period. The guitar work is uber catchy, the melodies are fantastic, the horns are great, and almost every single song is a winner. It's also far and away their most overtly punk album. Liquor Store, My Very Own Flag, Growing Up on a Couch, and Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts are some of the strongest material the band ever recorded. A borderline classic for some, a beloved favorite to me. Also outstanding summer music, like a lot of ska.
