Production
The album was produced by Neill King and David Kershenbaum.[9] It contains a cover of Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man".[4] "What Happened to My Radio?" is about the narrowing of radio playlists.[10]
Critical reception
The Record called the album "an infectious and energetic workout that avoids the same-rhythm rut that most bands of the snappy, staggered-tempo genre fall into."[9] The San Diego Union-Tribune noted that "'Nineteen' is jet-powered by Jonas Kleiner's careening guitars, while 'My Town' gets its cheery bounce from Scott Kennerly's bobbing bass and Steve Bauer's swinging drums."[12] The New Times Broward-Palm Beach praised the "full-throttle skacore ... where hyperactive ska grooves set the pace only to lurch into supercharged punk status come chorus time."[13]
AllMusic wrote that "Buck-O-Nine needs to give more time to the horn section and engage in the kind of loopy interplay that made the Specials so interesting."[11]
