The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Let's Face It (CD, 1997, Big Rig / Mercury 314 534 472-2)

Why This CD Matters
Let's Face It became the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' commercial breakthrough and a prominent release from the 1990s third-wave ska movement. The album includes "The Impression That I Get," along with "The Rascal King" and "Royal Oil," and was produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade with the band serving as co-producer. Its combination of ska rhythms, punk-influenced rock, and a prominent horn section brought the band's established sound to a substantially larger mainstream audience.
