Product Description
From Amazon.com
After a four-year hiatus, perennial party band Fishbone return with their distinctive, ultra-energetic, and soulful blend of funk, ska, and punk intact. While like-minded Cali combos such as No Doubt and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have gone on to fame and fortune, Fishbone have remained too much a well-kept secret. However, The Psychotic Friends mentioned in the title are an impressive bunch of longtime Fishbone fans who boost the songs without distracting from Fishbone's brass-driven fun and fury. The midtempo Lenny Kravitz-ish "Shakey Ground" has hit potential, while high-profile guests, including Perry Farrell, Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Rick James, and Blowfly lend their voices to the timeless "Everybody is a Star." The reggae-tinged pop of "The Suffering" drags at five minutes-plus, but with other winners--including the barely controlled ska number "Karma Tsunami" and the cool R&B rave-up "It All Kept Startin' Over Again"--Fishbone and their Psychotic (and talented) friends have a created a classy collection of manic music. --Katherine Turman

Didn't like it at first, than adjusted and love the cd!,

The first initial time I listened to the CD, I really didn't like it, because it lacked the 'fishbone' sound I really liked on the first few cds; however, the more I listened to it and gave it a chance, sometimes the first time listening doesn't do any justice, which seems to be the case with a lot of the more negative reviews. Now I listen to it as much as the original fishbone cd, every day. Good disc!!

Old fishbone blues,
By Chris PY Beacon (ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Presents: Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx (Audio CD)
The old fishbone will never be back, but the new fishbone is pretty good. They will always miss Chris dowd and Kendall Jones. The new members are pretty good. Spacey T seems to be more in the vein of John Bingham than kendall jones. there are plenty of highlights on this album, especially Karma Tsunami. Angelo is in top form here, but the days of Reality of my Surroundings and Give a Monkey a brain seem to be gone. It is not their best album, but it is not their worse either. The reggae influence seems to be stronger than on other albums. Even an O.K. Fishbone is way better than most popular music. it would be wonderful if any of the departed members would come back to Fishbone. But no mattter their future they deserve to have a platinum album sometime in their career. Like Madness, Fishbone is one of the most underrated bands ever. Though nowhere near as good as their last two Columbia albums, it is still a good and innovative album, but ait could use a strong melodic influence ala Everyday Sunshine, Movement in the Light or Unyielding Conditioning. But some cuts come close to evincing the deep soulful funkiness of Lemon meringue. Still a very worthwhile addition to your Fishbone collection and an approachable starting place for the novice.

This review is from: Presents: Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx (Audio CD)
This is the dullest Fishbone album ever due to the project being railroaded by Disney. It's a very VH1 album. The crazy songs were kept off of the record, so the only freak out part on the disc is at the end of "Everybody is a Star". However, these 4 songs that were cut just came out as an EP. My advice? Get the CD off Napster and combine it on a CD-R with the leftovers EP, and then you will have a great album. Now, if you want a smoking new FB album pick up the "Temple Bar" EP, that one SMOKES.
