Bitter & Twisted was the second album from Area-7, the Melbourne ska punk crew that had been at it since 1994, and it arrived in 2000 on Zomba. It's the sound of a band with a skanking upstroke bounce and a punk-rock sneer, cramming both into short, sharp songs built for a sweaty room and a pogoing crowd.
"Second Class Citizen" and "Start Making Sense" were the tracks that carried it, and the album earned the band a nomination for Best Rock Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2000. It sits in the middle of a short run of four studio albums, between No Logic! and Say It To My Face.
