Mentone Tones - Are We There Yet? (1998)

 This should be a great rare ska album - every song is third-wave ska with the exception of that one reggae song and that one jazzy tune with the fake Louis Armstrong vocals; overall the vocals are not the snotty/bratty vocals that contaminated the scene in those days - they're actually good vocals; the horn section is awesome; the band doesn't sound like amateurs at all. Great performance on every song. Great song writing...

...but...

 This is one of those "Christian" ska releases that have very little to do with Christianity aside from Jesus idolatry. This release has more Jesus per second than most other Christian ska albums. Jesus, Jesus, I-Love-Jesus. Not Biblical Jesus, but 90s pop culture Jesus. But it is quite rare. And it's a great 3rd wave ska album if you play it in the background and don't focus too much on the lyrics.
