Interesting
HMM. . this is quite an interesting band. It must have been a brave decision to come out with a hard rock dixieland jazz band in the mid 90's. In the days when all the teenage boys were rockin to music with no keyboards or brass, guitar only. If it had anything but bass, drums, guitar, no-one like it. This music might not have been a fave with the girls, either. Although I never realised this was a greatest hits compilation for non-Americans, they could have chosen better material than some of this stuff. A lot of the songs I do get the feeling they haven't tried like SR, Everything sucks, She has a girlfriend now, I want oyur girlfriend to be my girlfriend too, and especially you don't know. One of the best songs here, Somebody hates me, has lyrics that are perhaps a bit too avante Garde and menacing to think highly of, There are four tracks in particular, The set up, Snoop dog baby, She's famous now and Beer that are really good. Not only does the brass section swing with a passion and musicianship not seen in jazz since anything before Charlie Parker, while the rhythm section rock as hard as anything today. There are often good solos from everybody in the band. Actually, they remind me a lot of a 60's badn called the Fortunes. They had a similar arrangement and singing style b4 they went ballady in the 70's. Anyway, Reel big Fish also show off their talent by reprising a vocal group song, take on me, and turn it into a R. B. F. song. It takes a bit of skill and that song has an ace Guitar solo. Rock on!, Fish!.


A little doubt dispelled
I bought it solely for an early listen to "A Little Doubt Goes a Long Way" from the new CD, but the whole disc is full of good stuff. Great premier CD for European Reel Big Fish fans. I do question why "S. R. " made the cut for a 'best of' CD instead of "Thank You For Not Moshing" or "Alternative, Baby". They break the tradition of having "I'm Cool" on every album, too, but who can blame them?
If you don't have both Turn the Radio Off and Why Do They Rock So Hard?, you need this CD.
