On their fourth full-length release, San Diego's Buck-O-Nine continue to trace the ska-punk revolution from its '70s roots to its '90s incarnation. With a robust horn section bopping alongside their breakneck reggae rhythms, Buck-O-Nine's lead singer Jon Pebsworth struts his stuff in a voice that would make Joe Jackson proud. While the punk spirit on this CD is often eclipsed by the band's feel good melodies, Libido is still an extra-energetic foray into modern ska. Jonas Kleiner's guitar playing is both upbeat and tasteful on fun tunes such as "On a Sunny Day." With some tranquil moments and world music creeping into their overall sound, Buck-O-Nine show they aren't afraid to experiment with the ska-punk formula. --Mitch Meyers

 If I can save one person from buying this cd... June 13, 2000

You know, I don't think I've ever had as much disappointment after buying and listening to this cd EVER! This CD lacks everything that is good about Buck O Nine. It's boring, it has very few good melodies, it makes me want to jab my eye out with a pencil, blah blah blah. Spend your good money on a good cd. Personal recommendation: Keasbey Nights by Catch 22.

If you've never heard of Buck O Nine then this CD might interest you but if your a fan then I don't suggest buying it because it will be a let down. The songwriting is still good but they have lost their edge.

 A good stab at the radio, but no sure hit single. June 11, 1999

Buck-o-nine did a good job on their third album, but it lacked the energy in most cases (except for who are they?; and pigeonhole disease),that recent successes like reel big fish, and less than jake. I love the track "tell it like it is", and if I was to choose the first single it would be this song. Better luck next time $1.09..!!
Is This The Same Buck O Nine? April 23, 1999

BO9 has changed a lot since their earlier albums like Barfly and Songs In The Key Of Bree. In these albums, they sound like your average ska band, which attracted ska fanatics. However, many of them were turned off by this album. Why? Because the tunes in this recording has lost many of the key elements of ska, such as the chinky off-beat guitar which occurs only occasionally in this album, and also what happened to the horn solos? These and other factors have led me to believe that Buck O Nine is slowly edging towards pop rock and away from ska, somewhat comparable to No Doubt (Only they did it quicklier). I liked this album better than any other ska CD I have heard, and some pop rock minded listeners may enjoy it also, but die-hard ska fans are going to find something missing.
