Sounds like it could be good. My issue with their songwriting these past… six years isn’t the melodies or sounds or riffs themselves, but the structure.
So I’m going to have to hear the whole song to fully judge. I really don’t want another album of five minute songs, it doesn’t work for their sound.
So I super dig this song (the actual recording). There’s nothing really hooky about it, but it’s got a really warm feeling. It’s not too long, it doesn’t have three bridges, simple but catchy melodies, not overtly angry lyrics (CCF lyrically sounded like someone trying to write Reel Big Fish lyrics). I hope the steady quality of this song reflects the rest of the record.
I like the new tune, it’s a solid ska song and a good omen for the rest of the album.
That been said, I hope the album has some different things to offer than just “solid ska songs”, if you know what I mean. RBF has always had a rockish touch and I liked it a lot when they were mixing different styles.
