Kings of Emotion.......2004-11-24
For this reviewer, Sherbs, (for all their obscurity in the US), were the kings of emotion. No other band matched their ability to relate through music that ineffable longing, that simultaneous agony and rapture one feels during a desperate period of unrequited love (or lust).
Two particular songs on he Skill come to mind: "Love You To Death" and "Cindy Is Waiting." I get goose bumps just typing these titles. The girl(s) who inspired these songs must have been skull-crushingly HOT!!!
The Sherbs...80's goodtime music.......2004-09-29
No Turning Back.......2004-03-29
Good, not Great.......2004-02-26
If you had this back in the day and are looking to reminisce, this could be a fun listen. If you never heard this, you're likely to wonder why it's gotten such high praise from reviewers (unless your musical tastes remain tied to early 80's pop rock).
Criminally Underrated! Great band!.......2004-01-08

Album Description
Despite the fact that the purity of early 90's hip-hop has been forever lost and the current "all about the money" trend is not about to disappear any time soon, the new school of Canadian hip hop is on the rise. In a country where most artists remain independent, DL Incognito's been able to master his craft, marvelously in the underground. It's been eight years since DL Incognito wrote his first verse, but his passion for music remains the same. His distinctive voice and metaphorically driven rhymes are both witty and powerful. With a plethora of musical influences ranging from Common to Jay-Z, DL's sound is refreshing for any real hip-hop fan. With opening credit for The Roots, Boot Camp, Choclair and many others on his resume, the founder of Nine Planets Hip Hop® is ready to take his music worldwide. With his debut album "A Sample And A Drum Machine", DL Incognito has more then the necessary weapons required to win the battle against the mind-numbing hip hop that plagues our airways. DL creates quality hip-hop music... Period.Customer Reviews:

Buy it.......2006-06-22
3 out of 4 Oasis wimps agree.......2001-01-04
"Carnation"- Liam Gallagher & Steve Craddock--Paul Weller never wore the Beatles influence on his sleeve. So this is a little like hearing an Elvis impersonator sing the Cramps. Anemic bubblegum from the Oasis frontman.
"Start"-The Beastie Boys & Miho Hatori-By removing the vocals and subtlety, they've created a stylized Gap-ready caricature of an important song. More of an homage to Beck, really.
"That's Entertainment"-Reef-All the elements are in place. The bitterness, the immediacy, the youthful outrage are on board this runaway train. It may not be pretty, but it is beautiful.
"The Gift"-Heavy Stereo--Heavy Stereo fearlessly grabs this song with the sort of desperation that someone is going to steal it out from under them and make a mockery of the Jam.
"Art School"-Silversun--Silversun forego the Urge Overkill 70's consumer sound. They opt instead for dirty garage punk. Vocals aren't quite as adolescent as Blink182.
"English Rose"-Everything But The Girl--Listenable, without being an album buyer.
"Going Underground"-Buffalo Tom--. This awful version slowed down to Cowboy Junkies speed has the singer struggling to breathe. If he doesn't want to sing, he should be hanging around downtown with Marcy Playground.
"The Butterfly Collector"-Garbage--Altering the rhythm of this bitter, pointed tale would seem like a travesty, but it works perfectly. Surprisingly, the most enjoyable dish here.
"This Is The Modern World"-Ben Harper--In an odd turn of events, he has managed to suck every bit of venom out of the vocal delivery. It brings to mind Mel Torme's version of "Superstition."
"Town Called Malice"-Gene--The music is tight and driven, but Martin Rossiters warblings float over it like a detached entity.
"To Be Someone"-Noel Gallagher--Noel has a much more interesting voice than his brother. When he gets out of control, he sounds a bit like Ozzie.
"No One In The World"-Paul Weller--has him sounding like Bowie after an all nighter and 3 packs.
Go Buy Snap.......2000-03-21
Fire & Skill: The Songs of The Jam.......2000-02-23
Although the Beastie's cover of "Start!" and Garbage's cover of "Butterfly Collector" are a bit redundant and predictable, there are some wonderful highlights on the album:
Everything But The Girl do themselves proud with "English Rose", an amazing love song that Tracey Thorn nails perfectly, recalling her best "Eden" and "Love Not Money" performances.
Ben Harper's cover of "Modern World" is a pleasingly reckless and sonic awakening at the album's end. I think Weller would be proud of Ben's emotional delivery, both vocally and on that guitar-like thing he plays.
Heavy Stereo's cover of "The Gift" (one of my all time favorite Jam songs) is priceless; equally rock and soul-infused funk.
Gene's cover of "Town Called Malice" is flawless and is the album's high point. Martin Rossiter's vocals are pained, urgent, and sincere. The percussion is also staccato heavy and smooth all at once. Hmmm...I wonder where I've heard that drum sample before! ...
Noel Gallagher's version of "To Be Someone" is both an ironic and poetic choice, and a beautiful and sorrowful acoustic update of Weller's classic rocker. Listen to the lyrics, Liam. Your brother is trying to tell you something!
The hidden Weller track might be the album's most anticipated bummer. It failed to move me at all.
All in all, this album deserves a listen. If you were a fan of The Jam back in the day or if you only recently discovered their music, you will enjoy this album. I suggest buying The Jam's box set or buying the old records and playing them side by side for a nice comparison.
A pleasant surprise among so many mediocre "tribute" albums in the bins these days.

Too bad.......2006-07-24
Anywho, I've read the comparisons to Superchunk and Jawbreaker and they aren't totally without merit. But this band just seemed to be doing something different, at least at that time. I dunno.....these guys have their own sound. Loud, more yelling as opposed to screaming vocals (but not annoyingly so), yet full of hooky melodies to the well-trained ear. And absolutely some of the best lyrics you'll hear for this style of music. Too bad Radio 4 can't hold a candle to the two GV albums. Buy "Skill Level" first. If you like it, buy the self-titled one. They're both killer IMO. I will never get sick of this album for sure.
