Negative Positive
Title: Good compilation CD
Review: Millenium Edition is a good over view of what the girls from Osaka have been up to for a few albums priror to bassist Michie Nakatani retiring from the band. It is a bit spendy for the avaerage person looking to get into Shonen Knife, but for Shonen Knife fans and completists we are used to paying a large chunk of cash for their cd's. As an FYI cd's in Japan are about 2-3 times as spendy as cd's in the states. Basically for the music companies to have the same profit margin in a market half the size they need to charge twice as much. Thnaks to my linguist friend Doug for giving me the Q-T on that.Back to the album. The addiotional tracks not found on their full length previous cd's Mysterious Drug Store and All I Want For Christmas are a mixed bad. Mysterious Drug Store is not a great song. All I want for Christmas is a great song the typifies what is so great about the band. Everything else on the CD is great, even if just a refresher of what they already have done.
Is the review positive or negative?
