Amazon.com After a four-year hiatus, perennial party band Fishbone return with their distinctive, ultra-energetic, and soulful blend of funk, ska, and punk intact. While like-minded Cali combos such as No Doubt and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have gone on to fame and fortune, Fishbone have remained too much a well-kept secret. However, The Psychotic Friends mentioned in the title are an impressive bunch of longtime Fishbone fans who boost the songs without distracting from Fishbone's brass-driven fun and fury. The midtempo Lenny Kravitz-ish "Shakey Ground" has hit potential, while high-profile guests, including Perry Farrell, Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Rick James, and Blowfly lend their voices to the timeless "Everybody is a Star." The reggae-tinged pop of "The Suffering" drags at five minutes-plus, but with other winners--including the barely controlled ska number "Karma Tsunami" and the cool R&B rave-up "It All Kept Startin' Over Again"--Fishbone and their Psychotic (and talented) friends have a created a classy collection of manic music. --Katherine Turman Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews BRENDAN H. from PALO ALTO, CA Reviewed on 6/25/2009... this band is highly underrated & this album is perhaps their finest. i'm posting this fav of mine only to help spread the love of fishbone and hope that with more of a fanbase the band can play more and bigger venues. we've met the band when they rode the bus to a gig at The Edge in palo alto, ca in 1986, & at The Catalyst in santa cruz ca this past year and the house was nearly empty. it's worthy of far better. music industry showcases crap today & fishbone suffers bc of it.
CD ReviewsBrought back the Fishbone in me Jeffrey Pierce | Boston, MA | 05/26/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "At one point in my life fishbone was just about all i ever listened to...in the past years that has faded, still loving their old stuff though. I was really disapointed with chim chims, but this brings back the good feeling that all the old fishbone albums give me. The metal is gone, the punk rock is still visible at points which is good. Most of the album is funk and ska...much like truth and soul without sounding like 1988. If you love truth and soul you'll love this album." Fishbone is REDHOT! Ray Ray | Shaolin, NYC | 03/22/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Seems like nothing can stop these guys from making great music. First founding guitarist Kendall Jones left (albeit under crazy circumstances). Then, after recording another album (Chim Chim's Badass Revenge) Chris Dowd (keyboard, horns) left to pursure his own music career soon followed by drummer Fish. The remaining founding members Angelo Moore (vocals, horns), Norwood Fisher (Bass), and Walter Kibby (horns, vocals) backed with newcomers Spacey T. (guitars), John McKnight (organ, horns) and John Steward (drums) continued to do what they do best that being putting on the best live show you never heard of. Alot of bands (311, No Doubt, Sublime to name a few) enjoying popularity on MTV right now owe a lot to Fishbone and their Funk/Ska/Reggae mix. Unfortunately, Fishbone has yet to draw the attention that these bands have. No big deal to them cause they just keep on rockin'. This newest album is by far the easiest to listen to commercially speaking. They seem to have focused the anger found on Chim Chim's... and turned it inward producing more spiritually focused songs. Rest assured, it is still Fishbone at heart with the same wild mix of influences being felt throughout the album. I mean where else but a Fishbone album will you find guest appearances by Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Flea, Chad Smith, John Frusciante, Rick James and Donnie Osmond? Scary to think of but it works. Reminds me alot of Sly and the Family Stone's music with a twist. This is a great album for newcomers to pick up but you must then proceed to Truth and Soul and The Reality of My Surroundings for Fishbone classics which is why I only give this album 4 stars. Besides, I've only had a day to listen to it, give me some time I'm sure it'll be a classic. By the way, be sure to see Fishbone live if you ever get a chance. They put on one of the best shows I've been to. It's amazing how much energy and emotion they can fill into a show. Buy this album so they can rock out into the next millenium. FISHBONE!"
