Fishbone - Bonin' In The Boneyard [EP]
ROCK | FLAC | CUE | COVERS | 134MBS | 18:54
CBS 1990 
In 1990, two years had passed since Fishbone had released the great Truth & Soul. In the meantime, the already largely populated band had expanded to include another member, former Miles Davis player John Bigham, on second guitar. And since it would take another full year until their next full-length album would see the light of day (1991's The Reality of My Surroundings), the band decided to fill the void with a five-track EP titled after Truth & Soul's best song, "Bonin' in the Boneyard." While the great original version was not included, two new takes were: "New and Improved Bonin'" and "Bonin' in the Jungle." Neither came close to topping the original, but three other tracks fared better: "In the Name of Swing," "Love and Bullshit," and "Hide Behind My Glasses." While one of the tracks would resurface on the 1996 two-CD compilation Fishbone 101: Nuttasaurusmeg Fossil Fuelin, the other four are unavailable anywhere else. Although it's currently out of print, hardcore Fishbone fans will want the EP for its uncommon material. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Fishbone - Give A Monkey A Brain
ROCK | WAV | CUE | COVERS | 664MBS | 64:45
Columbia 1993 
After the critical and commercial success of their 1991 tour de force The Reality of My Surroundings, you'd think that it would smooth sailing for the many members of Fishbone -- not quite. Despite the fact that the band was viewed by fans as a close-knit family, problems were brewing behind the scenes. Depending on who you believed, founding guitarist Kendall Jones was either growing disenchanted with the band's musical direction or he was brainwashed by a cult. Either way, he quit the band immediately after the release for 1993's lackluster Give a Monkey a Brain. While the funk/punk/ska sound on earlier albums was still evident here and there, this is considered Fishbone's heavy metal album by longtime fans. The witty humor and thought-provoking songwriting had been lost and replaced with such predictable fare as the grunge-sounding "Swim," and such woefully off-the-mark compositions as "The Warmth of Your Breath" and "Drunk Skitzo." While a few songs were decent ("Unyielding Conditioning," and "No Fear"), the album was a severe letdown. What could have been Fishbone's ultimate breakthrough nearly turned out to be a career killer. After the ensuing tour wrapped up, keyboardist Chris Dowd left as well, and Columbia dropped the band. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
