5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - one of the best samplers ever-PERIOD, June 30, 2009
By Larry Briley (Plantation, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have to give it to Amazon and Barsuk-this is great-no kidding.

From the fine start by Ra Ra Riot on "Ghosts Under Rocks" which includes a kickin' groove layered with beautiful "Eleanor Rigby-ish" strings, floating, flying, cruising backing vocals and lyrics meant to pay attention to, all the way to the >mix< on "Pushover" which is amazing-up front vocal and clean and punchy track to go along with it-this is great.

John Vanderslice, "White Dove"; very good stuff.

"Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" by Say Hi - great horn section intro-there is some true imagination and creativity shown here. Cool slap-back vocal juxtaposed against the horns. Someone actually put some thought into this production, plucky guitar and all.

"Wet & Rusting" and "My Only Offer" also excellent. I could go on...

Get this now-every cut has something to offer-this may be the best freebie in the genre that Amazon has ever put up-big props to Barsuk-beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great stuff, hands down.
These songs still sound good. Even after you've given 'em a listen a few times round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sampler
Every track on this sampler is worth listening to. All tracks would probably be encompassed in the broad "alternative" domain, though styles differ significantly. Read more

Sometimes free stuff is just code for "unwanted stuff." Not so with Barsuk Records' excellent sampler. Read more

I highly recommend you get the whole album - why not - but if you want individual songs, pay special attention to Ra Ra Riot, Say Hi, and of course Death Cab for Cutie. Read more
