Negative Positive
Title: Poor Effort
Review: While this greatest hits collection will satisfy distant fans of DS (all the songs are excellent), it will disappoint others more familiar with the band. Its pretty much the type of CD you expect to be marketed on late night TV - just the immediately recognizable "hits" with later tracks thrown in. From the early period, where is Wild West End, Down to the Waterline, even Six Blade Knife, Comminque, Once Upon a Time in the West, Where Do You Think You're Going, or maybe Follow Me Home. From the mid period, leaving out Skateaway is unforgiveable. Later period is covered well (but given the paucity of earlier material of greater substance how did the producers then cull three cuts from the On Every Street album?). Since there isn't much alternative for DS fans, it probably warrants purchase. It is so insulting in content though, hold out until better offerings come along - if you can wait that long.
Is the review positive or negative?
