Mighty is an album by the Planet Smashers.[4][5] It was the first of five albums featuring drummer Scott Russell, and it is the only Planet Smashers album featuring trombonist J.O. Begin.

Neville Staple, of the Specials, appears on the album.[6][7] It was recorded in Montreal over a period of two months.[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

Exclaim! wrote that the Planet Smashers "break out some new tricks in the latter half of the album, with songs like 'Can't Stop', a folky harmonica-infused song, and 'Recollect', which slows the pace down a notch."[6]
