Just like your favorite assigned English novel, you can get a half-decent summary of the album by fast forwarding to the ending: "Rockcerto" starts slow with a bluesy trombone solo. Cue dim spotlights and pan slow--enter: vocals and guitar. But in lieu of the scene fogging away and fading into a poorly-lit flashback, the guitar picks up a groove and gradually the rest of the force follows. Swinging between epic horn melodies and Olympic-speed vocals, the often dance-crazy song is motored by an intense agent-undercover rhythm section and gets stopped along the way by a part by Bizet. This is bestseller-worthy ska. The KBB uses wide range and talent to generate complex, passionate, and energetic tunes worth more than a skim.
