Pay Attention by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Pay Attention is an album by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “So Sad to Say”, on 9 lists with a best position of #59.
Pay Attention, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' sixth studio album, came out on Island Records on May 2, 2000, three years after Let's Face It had carried the Boston ska-core crew to platinum. Dicky Barrett's gravel-throated bark still leads the charge, with Joe Gittleman on bass, Joe Sirois on drums, a horn section built around Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton and Kevin Lenear, and dancer Ben Carr doing his thing out front.
"So Sad to Say" was the one that went out to radio, a bittersweet skank whose video debuted on MTV's 120 Minutes a week before the album landed. The record stalled at number 74 on the Billboard 200, and the band spent the next spring working the clubs city by city. Within a few years they had called a hiatus.
