The compilation more than lives up to any hype it could possibly receive.

They sounded great, and it was SO good to hear that music again. If you could gently nudge them to do that a few more times over the next few years, all us fans would appreciate it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907268840665045299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-18511536184419472282009-06-17T11:52:54.826-04:002009-06-17T11:52:54.826-04:00CovetedNOPrizeWinnerWithOakLeafCluster:

Thank you, Steve, for shining a light on my favorite band ever. I WILL be crashing the party.David Rasmussenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652293916468672552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-8409401461047646982009-06-17T11:08:05.037-04:002009-06-17T11:08:05.037-04:00Well, you get six studio albums.

(Usually they take a little while to grow on me.)<br /><br />But that's a great song, with a great sound.<br /><br />Lead singer is very reminiscent of the lead singer for the Smithereens.
