Four DeBaser reviews celebrate Fishbone’s riotous crossover brew of ska, funk, reggae, punk, and hard rock. The Reality Of My Surroundings is hailed as a genre pinnacle, while Truth and Soul gets props for cohesion and punch. Give a Monkey a Brain earns five stars for its heavy funk/rock surge. Across the board: horns blazing, rhythms bouncing, and zero boredom.
