2.0 out of 5 stars There's no real need to get this - buy 1200 Curfews instead., August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 4.5 (Audio CD)

Whereas "4.5" contains most of the songs that have videos or were released as singles, this particular album is no where near a "must have" for indigo fans. A indigo CD called "Starter Kit" is available in the US that covers a smaller "best of" listing. "4.5" offers no insight or no new versions of the songs; it is merely one person's idea of an indigo collection straight off previously released material. If you seriously enjoy the indigos, then buy "1200 Curfews". That CD gives you a glimpse of the indigo power live. It has alternate versions and unreleased material. There is no need to get "4.5", especially at the cost of an import.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh..., July 7, 2004

Let me begin by saying the Indigo Girls are fabulous...all of the songs on this CD are great as well. However, this CD does not fully capture the Girls' depth or spirit. For listeners new to the Indigo Girls, this might be a good buy, it is a "greatest hits" collection after all. But, I'd recommend 1200 Curfews over 4.5 any day. 1200 Curfews will give you a taste of the Girls' best work and their best live shows while 4.5 will show you what the critics view as their best songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the Best!, August 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 4.5 (Audio CD)

For fans and curious cats, this is the Indigo Girls CD to buy! Every track is amazing, and truly highlights the best of their career together. This is the CD that introduced me to the Indigo Girls, and I became hooked immediately. After becoming a huge fan and buying more CDs, this is still my favorite. Highly recommended.
