As a band, they're super (and super live, to boot). However, I would argue that they are not a Ska band, but are a Punk-With-Horns band (which is decidedly NOT the same thing). Most Reel Big Fish lacks the Ska beat, making it stylisticly much more Punk Rock than anything else. So musically, they're a great band - just not a great Ska band.
