The fleecing of dada's fans
" I would say their catalog is about as good as any underrated band out there. The content of this CD is excellent and is probably their most consistant effort aside from the "Puzzle.

As far as the previous reviewer's lovely musings on the "Fleecing of America," (sarcasm implied), how does he feel about Dada releasing remasters of CDs that came out 10 years ago? I would call that more of a true definition of "fleecing. " Why they didn't release a separate CD of all the unreleased tracks instead of forcing the rabid fan to buy all of the CDs again is obvious. They too, no matter how much they might not admit it, need to make a buck and had to soak their fans the extra cash. I know a lot of people would be more apt to buy a "b-sides" CD than the CDs they already owned again. .


Dada's Masterpiece
Three extremely gifted (and quite multi-talented) musicians and songwriters. It's a crime how unsung this band is. How these guys found each other and have hung together so long in such a wicked industry is a neat little testament to how good music can find a way to be created no matter what the odds.

"El Subliminoso" is the paramount of their efforts. The opener - "Time Is Your Friend" is a classic Dadaism: wry, witty, telling lyrics that mock and mourn at the same time. . . driven by a really kickin' hook and riff. "Bob The Drummer", "Trip With My Dad" and "Sick In Santorini" are idiosyncratic gems. "Star You Are" is a sweet ode to a soon-to-be-ex-talking-head as seen through the twisted eyes of a lonely madman. "The Fleecing of America" is an urgent anti-anthem written for the architects of the Patriot Act (even though this song was written well before that travesty became law). The added bonus tracks are all excellent as well - particularly their cover of "California Dreamin'". Don't be a schmuck - pick this one up. .
