A great variety

The Aquabats have saved the world once again! "Myths, Legends . . . " is a great compilation of various Aquabat music.
Here are some reviews of the songs:

Robot Theme Song: A short and catchy song with no lyrics.

Hey Luno: This is on my top-five list for this CD. It's about a cartoon flying horse, and has the surfer-rock feel. The horn section in this song is awesome.

Pool Party: A carefree song about, well, a pool party. It's very catchy.

Pizza Day: Another one on my top five list. It's got some witty lyrics. The song is about school nostalgia. I like the horn riffs.

Dear Spike: This song would be number six if I had a top ten. It's about one of the band members getting a cadet package (for more info, visit www.theaquabats.com).

I Fell Asleep On My Arm: I think that some people have been interpreting this song incorrectly. This is not meant to be more Korn for people. It's a satire, not some pit-moshing song. It's pretty funny when you compare it to real Korn/Limpbizkit songs.

Radiation Song: "The radiation in the ground makes a lovely, bubbly sound." The song opens up with that line, and many more funny lyrics.

Adventure Today: My favorite song on the album, hands down. It's based on the Goonies, of all things. The guitars, lyrics, and horns are all great. This is a great song!

The Baker: This sounds like it's from "Les Miserables." It's got a horn solo at the beginning, and it's about a baker and why he bakes his bread.

Danger Woman: Another one of my favorites. No horns, but some catchy lines. It's Danger woman!

Worms Make Dirt: This is a synth-heavy song about how worms do their thing. Although silly, it's a good song.

Sandy Face: This song has some very funny lyrics. However, it's the song that doesn't do much for me on this CD.

Wild Sea: Remember the song "Chemical Bomb"? Well, this has the same melody, with different lyrics and a more "rock-ish" feel. It's a great closing song, and it's one of my favorites.

So, there you have it. All thirteen songs. This album has the most variety out of all their CDs so far. Don't let that keep you from not buying this album! May 20, 2004

Bats Newbie

This is the first Aquabats CD I purchased. The only in fact. And I love this CD. Everything on here is amazing. This cd covers everything a good ska cd should. The completley senseless(pool party), important issues (pizza day) and parody (I feel asleep on my arm). For the reviewer who said that fans of pop, rap, rock, or techno may not get into this cd, thats bull doody. I love Rock. And some pop and techno is alright. Rap sucks, but thats not my point. He said something about loving Korn. Korn is an awesome band. I think any fan of rock has to hear I Fell Asleep on My Arm. It parodies the styles of Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit, and Korn. That songs makes me want to get up and mosh more than most songs rock bands play. February 11, 2004

aquabats are super rad!

aight, who sad the aquabats were punk? they are a ska band that just likes to have a good time...which, if i missed the point, is the purpose of being in a band in the first place...they rock more ass that a fat woman on a waterbed! every cd is 100% great...the musicianship of the songs is amazing...it's so fun sounding yet you can tell the songs are crafted to perfection...it's cool that you don't like em...but they are far from a disgrace to "punk"...that title is held for bands like green day, blink 182, and simple plan :P February 3, 2004

The Aquabats want you!

This is the best band that you never heard of. Very fun and great music. This band never claims to be anything but fun! From songs about your innocent days in school (Pizza day) to the thank you letter from a fellow cadet (Dear Spike), you will laugh, cry, and be taken to new levels in audio entertainment.

Once you go Aquabat, you never go back.

P.S. I you are a real "Punk" (like John Klimp) you may want to pass because they are not punk and never claim to be. And I would hate for you to be made fun at the mall with the rest of your "hardcore" friends. The Aquabats are far from GBH and Black Flag. Oi Oi Oi! October 30, 2003
