Editorial Reviews

Product Description
European only Gold-Disc pressing is housed in a die-cut slip case, exposing the gold disc. Clannad was one of the first Irish bands to delve into ambient music. On this Best Of The Best Gold edition, we hear some of Clannad's best-loved songs, including 'Theme from Harry's Game'. This song, written for a popular BBC television program, is probably Clannad's most moving, haunting composition. The choir-like vocals and the huge reverb transport the listener into verdant harmonic pastures. Other songs, such as 'Something to Believe In', are as pop as pop gets, but their arrangement of the traditional tune 'The Fairy Queen' harks back to Clannad's original folk roots. Features 18 total tracks. RCA Records. 2005.

Electrifying performers and pure-pop songwriters of the highest order, Toronto's Barenaked Ladies have emerged over a decade as that strangest of beasts. They'll never land a dishy cover story in Mojo Magazine, but as they reflect on those ribald years between 1991 and 2001, the five can allow themselves wry smiles, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, the cream rises to the top. In addition to familiar radio staples such as "Pinch Me," "The Old Apartment," "Jane," "Alternative Girlfriend," and the ubiquitous "One Week," there's a trump card on All Their Greatest Hits that will prove irresistible to completists: the Ladies' buttery, acoustic version of Bruce Cockburn's "Lovers in a Dangerous Time." Recorded eons ago for a Cockburn tribute disc that almost immediately went out of print, the song has until now been a rare and highly coveted collector's item. Two news songs--"Thanks That Was Fun" and "It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)"--were recorded specifically for this collection, while two others ("Brian Wilson" and "What a Good Boy") are captured live. But what really brings this album home is, ironically, "If I Had $1,000,000." One of their very first hits cut as the Ladies were learning to dovetail their so-called "acoustic hip-hop" into slicker pop sensibilities, "$1,000,000"--a simple knock-kneed love song with harmonies so tight they're practically braided--is a snapshot of a band with all the pieces in place just as the planets were about to align. --Kim Hughes

Awesome.......2007-07-12

We love all the Barenaked Ladies songs! This is a repurchase of the disc after we lost the first one and couldn't live without it.

Musical SUNSHINE Baby!!.......2007-03-14

Okay, so, if we were in a western, I wouldn't exactly be quick on the draw, but personally, I like getting to things in my own sweet time.
Six years (?) after the fact, the SpiritWorld is graced with this FANTASTIC cd-of 19 tracks, thank you very much-GET IT NOW!!
I was only familiar with the high inducing 'Falling For The First Time' track that's on the Malcolm in the Middle soundtrack, and only vaguely familiar with a few of the others, so I come to this as a newbie and I LOVE IT!!
Their quirky loquacious lyrics are funny, smart, smiley, honest and paranoid, the music is played with heart, it's beautiful and even the slower tracks you can snap to. A couple of the tracks are live versions which makes a nice change to the polished studio feel and it's sweet because you can hear the fans singing along in the background.
I can honestly say there's not a Homer's favorite brand of beer track on here; they're all FABOO, and some that are the faboo-est include the aforementioned Falling..., If I Had $1000000 and the spectacular Pinch Me.
I'd like to buy a doll house, use a shrinkomatic on these guys and have them play for me every time I opened the door. Or we could all just live together. I am so getting their entire back catalog and all their new and future ones, which, considering I'm more of a soundtracks girl, is saying a lot.
Lyrics aren't included in the booklet, but you do get a funny little story behind each song, and besides, they sing clearly enough, and you won't be able to stop playing it either, so you'll pick up on the words.
Bottom line: I HIGHLY recommend this, especially if you have a red cadillac and are going for a road-trip across America. Even just in your head. It's like pure musical sunshine.

A great album filled with hits at every turn!.......2007-02-23

I purchased this album after hearing only "One Week" and "If I had 1000000 dollars" from the radio. The two give you a taste of the wacky and zany streak that touches several of their songs, including the irreverant "Be My Yoko Ono." But they show a softer and more reflective side with tracks like "Call and Answer" as well. The variety of tracks is impresive.

As a rule, "best of" compilations tend to be littered with bad songs, but BNL really nailed it with this fantastic collection of songs. If you've heard and enjoyed any of their music, you owe it to yourself to check this one out!

Norms One.......2007-01-20

There is some good with bad along with this review. I felt previous reviews had recommended highly, but it did not live up to expectations. Having written that - there were some good tracks.

It's Barenaked Ladies, how could you go wrong!.......2007-01-03

I am a fan of the BNL, and this CD did not disappoint.

As Greatest Hits--and particularly the busking pavement jazz of "Lovecats"--reminds us, the best Cure singles were very often tangential exercises; they offered a goth-free playtime divergence from some of the weightier studiousness of those early albums. Or, as smudged frontman Robert Smith says of this 18-track collection, "Songs that are sung with a smile." This wasn't always true--witness the refrigerated fogginess of the classic "A Forest," the Blair Witch Project of its day. What this compilation does is focus attention on the Cure's perennial unpredictability--the breathless claustrophobia of "Close to Me," the New Order-lite of "The Walk," the brass- section embellished thrust of "Why Can't I Be You." Oddly, chart-wise, the Cure's lost weekend began immediately after "Friday I'm in Love," their most ebullient melodic moment and the ultimate "clocking-off to kick those heels" anthem. But at least the inclusion of two new songs, "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes" (with Saffron from Republica), indicate that the Cure remain a healthy, ongoing concern. --Kevin Maidment

Customer Reviews:

Classics.......2006-07-20

These are all good songs - classic! But I definitely don't like the change in rhythm in 'Close To Me'...Robert and his boys should've left it as it was.

unplugged = fantastic.......2006-03-25

I really like the bonus unplugged CD. The band seems to have a lot of fun playing the music and the songs really stand on their own once stripped of the synth and production. Made me appreciate the Cure in a brand new way.

Electric without electricity.......2005-05-07

One day, when our planet's oil supply is gone, we will sit around a campfire and remember how cool alternative music was. "Yeah man", they'll say, "all those cool sounds with electric keyboards, that was so cool. That's what made new wave great". The Cure has thrown down the guantlet ahead of that time along with their electric instuments and processors too. On their 2CD Greatest Hits compilation, the entire 2nd disc, while identical in song titles to the 1st disc, is completely unplugged. Instead of electric bass, they use bass guitar. Intstead of synths, they use everything from grand pianos, foot powered pump organs, accordians, and even thumb pianos. Even Robert Smith's trademark voice is au naturale, no fake back up vocals or overdubs. Amazingly, it sounds just as alive as ever. They could play these songs around the campfire and still have the electricity as if they were plugged in. As for the song selection, people will gripe about having two new extra songs where they could have included some old ones (where's Demolition Street, Pictures Of You or Catch?), but the vast majority of songs are hits that Cure fans have long known. This limited edition is a set that succeeds and I think worth shelling out the extra cash. So it's your choice, electric or unplugged, but you can't go wrong either way.

My new FAVE CD OF ALL TIME (disc 2) A+++ SUPER - FAB!.......2005-03-10

This is it! If you love Cure, you will FLIP WITH HAPPINESS to get the 2nd acoustic disc. It is unbelievable. I have paid BOO-COO to see the Cure for the past 15+ years, and the 2nd CD gave me the same fab rush as I get at the concert. It's as if you are there getting a personal unplugged concert. Let's face it, the Cure is not especially "dynamic" in concert anyway, there is very little movement on stage, so the visual is not the reason we go (and go and go). GET THIS is you love them, and you will be in love all over again and again and again and again and agaaaaain! It's perfect. The acoustic versions are the best treat I've had this year.

Ok, so the first disc is a waste..........2005-01-22

...but the acoustic version is worth a buy on its own, and if Smith claims they're not a good acoustic band, then he really has lost his nuts. They're a lot better than many bands I've heard who prove that studio tampering does not talent make. Bollocks to it being a bad album; you critics obviously have no taste.

And it's a whole lot better than that junk they just released. Spend your money on this instead of that drivel, and at least you'll be pleasantly satisfied instead of embarassed and mortified and praying for it to stop.
