Better Get Ready is the debut studio album by American Hasidic punk band Moshiach Oi!. The album, produced by guitarist Mike Wagner and mastered by Don Fury, was released on June 20, 2009 through Shemspeed Records and the band's own Shabasa Records.
Emily Savage of Jweekly described the album as "Simple, straight-forward, unabashed scroll-loving lyrics. All yelled at maximum volume of course."[1] Alex Suskind of The Forward said, "Moshiach Oi! has found a divine balance of religion and rock [and] uses the traditional punk sound of raucous guitars and boisterous vocals to explore Jewish ideals and values."[2] Patrick Aleph of Jewcy summarized Better Get Ready as "a blistering punk rock siddurim that effortlessly ties together Black Flag and Rambam, 7 Seconds and the Rebbe, The Casualties and the Kabballists."[3]
