"The best Bosstones album, and the only one worth getting."
That's a pretty bold statement, considering all the ground they've covered in the past two decades. At the time of its release, this was the Bosstones' most pop-oriented and radio-friendly album. That isn't necessarily a bad thing; Let's Face It also demonstrates the best songwriting and tightest horn section that they've ever had. Although in my opinion there are other Bosstones albums which are at least as good, if not better than Let's Face It (Question the Answers, Pay Attention), I agree that this album is highly reccommended to a variety of ska lovers.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones pioneered the very limited skacore genre, slowing down traditional third-wave and mixing in hardcore undertones to create a more passionate, harder sound. After many short-length albums showcasing their new sound, the band finally struck a chord with the media in their breakthrough album. The songs on this album mix the two aforementioned styles well, with Dicky Barrett's rough voice blending flawlessly with the low brass. The single, The Impression That I Get, launched the band to stardom with chart-toppers and an appearance on Sturday Night Live. Most of the tracks are upbeat in traditional ska style, but have creative and emotional lyrics as well as simple surf-guitar licks and noticeable bass technicality. The best Bosstones album, and the only one worth getting; deserves a listen if you're either a stony hardcore fan or a laid-back ska lover.
