In The Cube is pure torture for about 9 minutes.
skip this and pick up the classics Truth And Soul and In Your Face.

Awesome CD! Heavier then most Fishbone, with allot of humor and an awesome Busta Rymes cameo!

CCBA is FB in an exceptionally irritated state. They were not happy about, well, much of anything. This is a powerful mix of metal, ska, humor, playfulness and pain. Even though there are some great moments on SSIYT, CCBA is their swan song. New to FB? Start with ROMS. If you try, you will catch on.

One can never be sure why a large percentage of an artist's fanbase decides to remove itself from the bedrock sustaining the artist's livelihood when faced with his/her/their latest creation, but such was the case when Fishbone released this behemoth of a record.
Clocking in at I don't remember what, CCBR runs the length of Fishbone's stylistic gamut, and then some. Deep in the mix you'll find funk, punk, soul, thrash, noise, hip-hop, and spoken word. Maybe the fact that CCBR is Fishbone at their most humorous, emphatically disregarding the standards they'd already established, is part of the reason so many fans tuned out for good. I'll never know. This is unabashedly my favorite Fishbone record, and writing about it makes playing it a necessity. Hopefully you'll deem purchasing it a necessity as well.
A moment in music history.

Fishbone is a beast, starting off as a deep ska band and over the years evolving their own form of music. Chim Chim is an epic album, dripping with so much creativity it explodes on almost every track. the pace is unstoppable and the lyrics are beyond poetry. even the way the album is mixed is a masterpiece. Alot of their earlier fans consider this their low point but life doesn't always give you happy scenes to write jumping dance tunes about. This is a dark album but in my opinion it is one of the best ever written.

I remembering thinking that Give A Monkey A Brain was the turning point for Fishbone, but looking back over a decade later it is very clear that Chim Chim's Badass Revenge was it. Give a Monkey A Brain should be the last album Fishbone made and you'd be doing yourself a favor if you treated it as such. At times it seems like Angelo is the soul and beating heart of this band but this album and every one to follow proved that he is not.
