Other highlights include "Grounded," a rocking ska-core track that will have the typical ska fan skankin' in seconds. But the best song on Chase the Sun follows. "Sure Shot" is a bold, bouncy, encouraging pop/ska tune that will have you singing along and fired up within it's three-minute length.

The only disappointment on the album lies in the track "Old Friend," which is an attempt at a ballad but is so separate from the Supertones sound that it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album, especially where it is placed (in between 2 of the best songs on the disc). But this minor flaw is made up by the other attempt at a ballad, "Refuge," which closes the CD out.

I have to praise the title cut of the album for it's over-all sound. The song starts off as pure hip-hop before mixing some classic Supertone ska into it for another one of their classic "band-based" songs like "Supertones Strike Back."

At first listen, one may not be impressed with what they hear, but after giving the disc a few further spins in their player, they may find the CD planted in their player for constant play.
