This is a nice and laid back listen, and Slightly Stoopid has proven to me that despite their early connection with Brad, their not another band amongst a legion of Sublime imitators. There is something fresh and original about the way these guys compose their music, and from what I've heard of the band so far (roughly just two and a half cd's) they possess a lot of promise. While I don't know if I enjoy this one quite as much as Closer to the Sun, though it does seem to have an ability to grow on you. The obscure choice in cover songs is also a refreshing change for third-wave ska bands.
