Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe (1993)

Much of Fishbone's charm comes from an ability to jump musical genres without losing the groove. Not to say that the septet does everything equally well: Fishbone should go easier on the nondescript power chords (''Servitude'') in favor of the noisy ska-funk (''Properties of Propaganda''), and serve up more attitude (''Drunk Skitzo''). But even if you can't swallow all of Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe, you'll be intrigued.
