Title: Simply underrated!
Review: The Critters were responsible for crafting amazing pop songs that could've rivaled The Beatles and The Beach Boys had they been given the time and proper exposure. Don't believe me? Listen to the rich, layered harmonies on 'Gone For Awhile' or the gentle, psuedo-bossa nova rhythms of 'Mr. Diengly Sad'. This is incredibly beautiful music that needs to be rediscovered. I'm not saying that this particular collection is going to blow away 'A Hard Day's Night' or 'Pet Sounds' but it's a great starting point for a band. It's a shame that Don Ciccone was drafted before having the chance to carry this band on up the charts. If you like new music like The Cardigans, Saint Etienne and Ray Wonder or if you are a fan of classics like The Association, The Mama's and the Papa's and Peter & Gordon, give this disc a try. Fans of newer pop will catch a glimpse into where it all began and fans of the classics will see what could have been. Pick it up! It's more than worth the price!
