Church Jams Now Vol. 3 - Our Newest Album Ever! by Five Iron Frenzy
Description
Hey Jammers! Kylan and TJ are in rare form on this third volume, in which they consider Our Newest Album Ever!, by upbeat, slap-happy ska machine: Five Iron Frenzy. Should you pick it up, pick it up, pick it up? Or should this album remain hidden away in the history books of the mid-90s ska-naissance (or the brain of an overly caffeinated middle-schooler)? Is “Oh, Canada” racist? Does this album contain any sweet, sweet bass? Grab your trumpet, and get on this skawesome ride, as we nerd out about the relatable lyricism of this “band’s band”, unpack Kylan’s critique of jokey ‘skit’ tracks, over-contextualize the word ‘context’, and make the ultimate decree (lol) on its flop-or-boppery!
We even turn the album on its head, to interesting results:
