bittersweet
Songs about drugs and love seem to be the main theme here. This cd pairs both driving electric songs with more somber acoustic "ballads". Not to say this is a bad thing. Alot of mid-90's pop bands made careers out of drugs and love. Some are even still around. My Drug Buddy is actually a really good stand out track for me. An electric cover of Simon & Garfunkle's "Mrs. Robinson" makes for a fun upbeat musical experience. I'd say that this is a good cd for a long drive. It's not my favorite record, but it's not sooo bad as to be called the worst thing I've ever heard. I give it three stars for making these songs sound so happy and being able to sing along. Besides who doesn't like to hear Julianna Hatfield?.


The Best of the Lemonheads: The Atlantic Years
All the great stuff this band and Evan Dando put out is just about impossible to find. I am just going to face it. In order to get even a little of what is out there means scourging the most obscure sources. It is just not fair. I am so frustrated. . . AHHHHHH

Do you have ten dollars? That about sums it up.

This record is great I have always really enjoying the honest and sincere music this man and band has put out. Their records have been those that come in and out of my life, I usually lose them only to rediscover them at some later date.

This record is great song after great song. Confetti, Into your arms and If I could talk I'd tell you are sweet ballads that convey a lust for life. The songs manage to balance melencoly and sanguine undertones, some times a little down and others very optimistic. I give up trying to explain how great the lemonheads are this is a good record for ten dollars but it does not come close to covering all the greatest hits.


Lemonheads
I never even heard of these dudes. My girlfriend has this CD. But somethimes when my girlfriend is driving she has this CD on in her car and just something about the way she drives and she's sunk way down in her seat with the rearview mirror slanted all the way down, and something about the way she mouths the words but doesn't actually sing out loud, and something about the way her hair is always too long in her face and the way her car always smells like pink roses. Its just really cool. Otherwise I would never in a million years listen to this stuff. .


The Best of The Lemonheads....I don't Think so
I heard All the Atlantic Albums (Lovey, It's a Shame About Ray, Come On Feel, Car Button Cloth)and I must to said that this album is incomplete, this is the American Version, cuz the UK and the Australian Version has more tracks. Well, when I heard at first time "Into your Arms" I knew that this band is the perfect mix between Country, Pop and Rock.
I've never heard the Lemonheads Taang! Albums, only few songs, but I must to said that I'm still waiting to hear the Complete, but complete Best of The Lemonheads, mixing the Best of Taang! and Atlantic Era.
It could be great hear the Punk and the Alternative Ego that Evan and his band played in the middle of 80's and 90's.

a better idea...
" Those two albums have all the songs from this "greatest hits" cd (except one or two), plus many more excellent ones that are just as good. Instead of getting this album, just buy "It's A Shame About Ray" and "Come On Feel The Lemonheads. You won't regret it.
