The last albums from THE BUSTERS were good and had one or two hits, but they were also experimental and diverse, leading to opinions fluctuating between enthusiasm and rejection. With "Double Penetration," the band returns to its roots. These roots are clearly in Two Tone, Mid Tempo. This record shines like the sun from the ass.
I first heard the record while cleaning my apartment on a cold and gray winter day. From the very first song, I started grinning, and instead of cleaning, I skanked through my place.
The 13 songs on the new album are full of energy. Musical skill combines here with melody, extremely danceable rhythms, and good vibes. The band is so perfectly in sync that the many instruments together create a perfect whole. Everyone in the band knows how important they are and what the band is together. Lyrically, the 13 songs are once again written with a lot of winking, (self) irony, and life energy. Every depressed person in winter should buy this record as soon as possible. It helps better and faster than any visit to the psychologist.
As if that weren't enough, the DVD features 10 unplugged songs from THE BUSTERS. The band, dressed elegantly in suits, performs in front of a distinguished circle of older people (the parents?). Songs from the entire creative phase of THE BUSTERS are presented, whether it's the old "Mickey Mouse in Moscow" or the entirely new "Good times are good." 10 songs that sound new and partially completely foreign. The version of "Summertime" is an absolute contrast to the well-known song. The band gives the 10 songs new, partly classical, partly jazzy, partly swingy garments. Demanding music and an interesting contrast to the known versions.
Overall, "Double Penetration" is an outstanding record and one of the best releases from THE BUSTERS! A milestone.
