The Very Best Things (1995-2008) (2009)
Why didn’t I review this band before? I mean, I don’t LOVE them, but I’ve reviewed plenty of (obviously) (much) lesser bands.
Oh well. Here goes…
Sounds good from the start. “Hey Man, Nice Shot” isn’t about Kurt Cobain, to make it less interesting for you.
It’s got a shorter version of The Crystal Method’s “Trip Like I Do” that rocks.
But wait, there’s less!
Takes a dip after track five, but even the filler isn’t all that bad.
I really like Richard Patrick’s voice; when soft it conveys sensitivity and yearning, but he can also roar in fury with the best of them, and he seems to know when to do which most effectively.
Inspirational Quote: “Oh my God, this is the best…”
