Customer Reviews Good, but not the best For some reason, there aren't that many songs from On(Great Things, King of the Kerb, and a french version of Car Fiction), which in my opinion is their best cd. This cd, while it is good, is not the "Best of Echobelly". My other favorites on this cd are "I Can't Imagine the World Without Me" and "Insomniac". The rest of the songs are interesting but again, not the best of Echobelly. I would recommend On and possibly Lustra for their best stuff. Echobelly is a great band and definately underappreciated in the U. S. . A "Best of" album that doesn't reflect the band's best All of the songs are written by singer Sonya Aurora Madan and guitarist Glenn Johansson, and they're GREAT songwriters. Echobelly is a melodic, guitar-based British alternative band. This "Best of" album is compiled from Echobelly's three albums on the Epic label. Nine of the eighteen cuts come from Echobelly's debut album, "Everyone's Got One. " While longtime Echobelly fans speak of this album in hushed, reverent tones, these songs are weak by Echobelly's high standard, and the production is poor. When "Great Things" from the "On" album, the fourth track here, comes on, it opens your eyes because it's an order of magnitude better than what's come before. Any random songs chosen from "On" or "Lustra" would be as good as the songs from "EGO", the two best of which are "Insomniac" and "Today Tomorrow Sometime Never". There are also four songs from "On" (one in a French version), including the phenomenal "Dark Therapy", two "On" outtakes, and three cuts from "Lustra", all of which are better than most of the "EGO" material. This is still a good album, because average Echobelly is still better than most of the alternative rock you're going to hear. But this is NOT the BEST of Echobelly. .
