4.0 out of 5 stars Most of the best of AFOS, plus some questionable choices, January 5, 2000

I was in high school when AFOS's first album was released, and being a synth junkie I fell in love with the quirky band immediately. AFOS was a highly influential band, albeit a short-lived one, and this disc has many of their best. This import version also contains "Windows", an excellent little tune that was only released in the US as the B side of "Space Age Love Song" and is thus very hard to find. I particularly like "Nightmares", "Transfer Affection", the instrumental "DNA", and "It's Not Me Talking". Unfortunately, there are also some of AFOS's later songs on here, when they were trying to sound more like New Order than New Order did. Example: "Who's That Girl".

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Thorough Yet Still Lacking Retrospective, December 1, 2000

By 

Rocknscrolls (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Of all their 'Greatest Hits' compilations available, this no doubt is the best of them all. Included are their big hits- I RAN, SPACE AGE LOVE SONG, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, etc. But also some of their later songs (IT'S NOT ME TALKING, THE MORE YOU LIVE THE MORE YOU LOVE, WHO'S THAT GIRL [SHE'S GOT IT], WISHING...) are all worthy of honourable mention. The only titles that, in my opinion, could have easily been replaced are the likes of NIGHTMARES, COMMITTED, LIVING IN HEAVEN, and WINDOWS. Other catchy tracks from perhaps their debut album (MESSAGES, YOU CAN RUN, DON'T ASK ME, + STANDING IN THE DOORWAY) could better have been their substitutes. Even better yet, had they all together been combined, no future 'Best Of' could have come near it's match. As it remains, however, the final star of this hits collection and review is better shining somewhere off into eternity...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Awsome Album from the flock, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

This is a really great CD. Flock of Seagulls haven't put out a bad one yet. Two songs that haven't been on other CD's by this group yet are "Windows" and " Committed". Both great songs The first time I heard these songs I liked them. This album should be rated more than 5 stars. This is really good. Everyone should listen to this one.
