"Speaking from the point of view of somebody’s whose closest relationship with Gainesville is a trip to the Everglades and the very helpful Wikipedia article, it’s impressive that GNV FLA manages to be subtly educational without overloading the listener with obscure local references or forcefully projecting the writers’ opinions. Even without that added depth, GNV FLA is a ska-pop album out of the top drawer, and it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if it turned out to be the most accessible release of the now-veteran group’s career.”
