Songs like the opener Skatopia thunder mercilessly out of the speakers, so the song has nothing to do with ska at all. But anything with raw garage rock. Kind of like a garage boogie. I was reminded of the New Adventures in the buzzing boogie-rocker Show On The Road. Buffalo Bay is a raw funky blues rocker with a psychedelic edge. The last two songs on this album are also very good. That Kind O' Lover is a heavy blues rocker in a style very similar to Mountain's "Mississippi Queen". Also watch out for that steamy acceleration! Bohemian Boogie starts with riffs that are similar to Mud's Tiger Feet (but then a kind of stoner version). The song delivers what it promises… boogie of the heavy kind. Then there are songs that I think are slightly out of place on this album. Hyness HIghness is raw but ripples a bit too much without flames. Good bluesy guitar work. The same goes for the slightly funkier Free Time with again excellent guitar work. Faith is an acoustic ballad with a lazy psychedelic sound and in Rooftop Riddles Neil Young comes into play.
