4.0 out of 5 stars Overlooked and underrated, June 3, 2001

Despite only having two top 40 hits (Younger Girl & Mr. Dieingly Sad), the Critters were a talented (multiple lead singers, songwriters) band with a gift for melodic songs and pleasant harmonies. There isn't a bad track on this CD and several tracks could have given the Critters at least another top 40 hit if they'd survived the ravages of the draft and poor promotion. It may be out of print, but still shows up here and there and definitely worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars good underdog 60's band, May 16, 1998

By A Customer

I love this cd not because the songs are rendered during my teen times. The songs if recorded by the new artists of today will be hits. These will not be different like the Bread's "Everthing I Own" (Nsync). Mr. Dieingly Sad, Younger Girl, I Wear a Silly Grin, He'll Make You Cry and Gone For Awhile are classics. Would I say anything anymore? Just listen to it and have a nice calm day.

Excellent compilation of the Critters' Kapp recordings. Wish the original sequencing of the LP had been kept intact - I'd rather hear Don's smooth voice up front than Jimmy's whine. But it's great to have "Bad Misunderstanding"," Marryin' Kind of Love" & "Don't Let the Rain Fall Down On Me" gathered together, along with a few obscurities & alternate mixes. Some of the songwriting is pretty weak & the band can't decide if they want to be the Lovin' Spoonful, The Byrds or the Beatles, but maybe that's part of their charm. I hope their later recordings for Enoch Light's Project 3 label are rereleased.
