A little lighter on ska than in previous albums, "The Girl with the Fishbowl Eyes" features terrific reggae and soul grooves which highlight the maturity GJG's songwriting and arrangements. Some of the standout tracks include what is sure to be a classic ska cut "The Governor's Daughter", the laid back reggae of "Open the Door", more romantic ska stylings with "'Til You Get There", the Jimmy Cliff-esque soul of "Every Road I'm On" which to me harkins back to "Many Rivers to Cross" from the "The Harder They Come" soundtrack.
The remake of the previously limited release song "Set Me Free" is tight, but somewhat lacking in punch due to the horns being very undermixed in the latter part of the song.
The title track "Fishbowl Eyes" is a fun blend of Hawaiian style music and Jamaican Bluebeat that is destined to be a crowd favorite, featuring Ian Ashley in a quirky and rare vocal lead.
The re-make of the GJG original "In-between Times" is good, but a bit unnecessary as the original recording on "Soul Arrival" was excellent and very hard to top.
"Don't Be So Cruel" is a smoking ska/soul number which will get get your feet moving and is certain to be a favorite amongst the mod and traditional skin scene.
Overall a great album and a must buy for not only ska and reggae fans, but for lovers of all types music that gets you in a positive groove. By far GJG's most solid and consistant release to date.
