Operation Ivy - Energy (1989)

I've been looking forward to this one! It's one of the bands I saw on patches of my cooler friends' jackets in high school.

I listened to it while driving, so clearly I wasn't taking notes real time. What struck me was that at least the first half of the album seemed to alternate between punk and ska, one song each. By the "Officer" they did integrate, which was also cool.

But also, I like punk and, as I've learned this week, I like ska! So even if never the twain did meet I would have enjoyed my drive, and then the twain did meet.
