- Before the generic suits. . .
If you love "Let's Face It," but can't help feeling that the 'Tones have sold out just a little . . . if you think the generic suited rudy look just isn't as cool as the good 'ol "Bad in Plaid," . . . if you think that the new CD has a bit too much polish on the vocals and not enough driven growl . . . this is the CD for you. But then again, if you miss the good old Boss Tones, then you probably have this album already. If you are new to these ska-core bad boys, you don't know what you're missingt - "Let's Face It" is catchy, but this is where it's at.

- One of the best small venue bands EVER!!!
I have been listening to the Bosstones for about 13 years maybe 12. I have seen them live countless times. From large venue (Horde tour, Warp Tour) type festivals to club shows. If they ever play a club near you jump at the chance to go. Don't skip to see them on a large stage, just don't get all hyped up it will be a let down. Nothing to do with the Band they sound great, just not the same type of atmosphere as the club gigs.
The last time I saw them was I believe 2000 or 2001 at the 9:30 Club in D.C. (great venue by the way) One of the best - not quite as good as when they were younger but still one the best shows ever for that size of a club.
More Noise and Other Disturbances is a good album, but Live from the Middle East really captures the energy and feel of a live Bosstone show. I really have a hard time listening to their studio albums. On a one to five rating More Noise and Other Disturbances gets a 5, while Live from the Middle East would get an 8 on the same rating scale. Absolutley the best, off the chart.
- ska to the mother f'n core
I don't care what category one may wish to apply to the Bosstones, this album is just great music! Every song is great, the best Bosstones album in my opinion. If you buy only one Bosstones album make it this one or maybe "Live From the Middle East".
- Bosstones + Live Show = Perfection
I feel so old writing this review - and feel SO sorry for anyone that didn't get the chance to catch these guys live back in the 90s. Simply put, best damn live show you will ever see (next to the Supersuckers). "More Noises" is by far the best the Bosstones have to offer.
..and Dicky and the boys, if you are reading this: PLEASE get back together for a small venue reunion tour. I'll drink to that!!!!
- "357 Magnum, 9mm handgun, AK47, and an uzi sub-machine gun"
It is uncharacteristic of me to write a review on an album like this, but I have to, because it's good! This was one of the first and only ska albums I ever had, along with Skankin' Pickle and a handfull of others. "More Noise..." is fantastic. I ended up buying their next couple albums, only to be very dissapointed. This album stands alone, in my mind, as the only good Bosstones album.
