Review

It's difficult to figure out why the cover photograph of What You Can Do, What You Can't depicts a poodle mounting a naked woman, especially since none of the record's lyrical content reflects that photo's potential offensiveness. That aside, Skinnerbox turns in a rabidly eclectic ska album, leaping from straight-ahead 2-Tone to fusions of ska with punk, jazz, R&B, you name it. The myriad styles aren't really blended, though, which makes for a slightly schizophrenic feel; however, Skinnerbox's willingness to experiment certainly makes them more interesting than many of their late-'90s third-wave contemporaries. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
