Reviews Customer Reviews for Gnv Fla 2 1/2 stars Rating: Honestly, I was disappointed. I completely appreciate what LTJ were trying to do with this album, creating one of their fastest, most punk albums maybe ever. However, apparently unlike a lot of the people reviewing this album, I miss the vocal melodies. Another reviewer touched on it perfectly: this album has a lot to like, but unfortunately, it just isn't that catchy, and to me personally, that's one of the most important aspects to music.
I love that the horns are back with full force and I like faster music better than slower music; this album is just missing the hooks. Hopefully if they are on an indie for their next album, they can feel that they got this album out of the way: that is to say, that they pleased their die-hard fans and showed that they haven't gone soft or were just making music to fulfill a contract. Maybe then they could go back to making music that pleases themselves. And maybe this is exactly what they wanted to make all along. But I'd like a mixture of this album and the hooks of earlier albums.
Customer Reviews for Gnv Fla Cd The most recent, and best LTJ album Rating: Listening to this album next to Pezcore, it sounds like two totally different bands, but that's not a bad thing. There's a reason why Less Than Jake put out another album. It's because they have finally found the perfect mix of ska and punk for a great album. None of the songs have that head-bang, sugar-high, beat someone up in a the pit feel anymore. Each member seems to have come to terms with their instruments perfectly, and all of the flaws in the past albums are gone leaving one flawless and entertaining album.
Although Anthem still remains my favorite album because of all of the history behind it, this album is a classic in the works. With LTJ still on tour playing these song and selling this album, GNV FLA might be the finale of their music careers, but after this album we feel like we have found a brand new great punk ska band. Grab and album and pay tribute to the band who has rocked us for the past 16 years, and will continue to rock us with this new album.

Editorial Reviews for Gnv Fla Audio Cd Album Description GNV FLA. Mark that as your destination to be one with Less Than Jake, an American ska punk band from Gainesville, Florida. Originally formed in 1992 as a power pop trio, the band evolved into a hybrid of third-wave ska and punk pop, with added elements of modern rock and even metal. GNV FLA is the seventh full-length studio album from Less Than Jake. The album's title is an abbreviation of the band's hometown, Gainesville, Florida.
