    Skins is the product of an older and wiser trio than Buffalo Tom were in their salad days, but it's unmistakably the same band, and if their attack and their concerns have changed a bit with the passage of time, that's a reflection of their innate honesty as much as anything else; they simply are who they are, and on Skins that means they're a gifted and grown-up rock & roll band.

With all the mediocre music that is out there we're very fortunate to have a group of guys that still care about releasing a whole CD without any fillers. These guys just write great music.… Full Review »
