 For thee hardcore April 6, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I don't agree with the reviewer above (or is it below? How are these reviews listed? In chronological order? whatever...) who finds only a couple of gems on this release. There's easily half an LP worth of great stuff in here, especially the super groovy "Flavors." I also don't fault the band for not putting every import B-side on this thing. Those of us who shelled out big bucks for the original import singles are happy not to be asked to buy them all again just so we can also have a few "never before released" cuts (although in buying this release I did end up re-purchasing the appended, previously released 5-cut "Machismo" EP, dammit).On the other hand, there *is* a fair amount of self-indulgent noodling on this thing, so unless you're a completist Gomez fanboy like myself, you might want to start with "Bring It On" or "Liquid Skin." And before you purchase any Gomez recordings, really, I suggest you get quite stoned and see the band live. THEN and only then will you understand...
 Abandoned B sides January 29, 2001

What happened? Where's "Pick up the Pieces", "The Best In The Town",and the turbo version of "Whippin' Piccadilly", these are the real B-sides that Gomez fans need to hear (not two pointless versions of "Sh--bag"). Although, this disc isn't completely lost, "Buena Vista" and "Bring your Lovin' Back Here" are excellent tracks that truly exhibit SOME of Gomez's hidden treasures, but certainly not all of it. Gomez could have had it's third straight classic, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
 Wrong comparison January 26, 2001

Don't be thrown off by the reviews who compare the lead singer's voice to Eddie Vedder's. He sounds a lot more like the deceased lead singer from Blind Melon. That aside, this CD is infectious, trippy and all I've listened to recently. Fresh, cool and enjoyable. Easily as good as anything they've put out. Worth every penny in your pocket and every minute in your listening day.
Not the best of Gomez December 29, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am a huge fan of Gomez. The first 2 albums are classics and are completely overlooked. I can't believe that this album is getting such good reviews. Buena Vista is the only song which is at the level of Bring it on or Liquid Skin. These are almost all songs that they didn't think were good enough to put on the first 2 albums but they had enough of them to make some money. I am sure that there next studio album will be another masterpiece but, this one is far from the best Gomez.
 compilation of gomez's best November 8, 2000
i bought this cd after loving liquid skin and was not surprized that gomez had done it yet again. this cd has all the songs i wanted to hear. from "bring your lovin' back here" to "getting better" this cd is truely one for the fans. although i think 78 stone wobble is a better recording the one on the cd is still very good. also machismo, one of my favortie songs by gomez, is on the second cd. my favorite songs off the cd are "bring your lovin' back here" "buena vista" and "machismo" but i like every song on the cd. so there isn't one reason you shouldn't buy this cd, unless you don't have any money or don't have a cd player. but if you liked the other cd's then you'll love this one. so what are you waiting for? go buy it. NOW!
