2.0 out of 5 stars Collage A Poor Sampling Of Indie Sixpence, July 18, 2000

By 

Greg Carpenter - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collage: Portrait of Their Best (Audio CD)

It is much more advisable for new Sixpence listners to buy Sixpence's first two albums, THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS and THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW than this hastily thrown together collection. Missing from this "portrait" are Sixpence classics like "Trust" and "Meaningless," a song the band still plays live at epic length. The artwork is second-rate and goes against the artistic nature of a band. Avoid COLLAGE unless you just can't afford both of Sixpence's early CD's. One positive thing I will mention about COLLAGE is that whoever selected the tracks for the album (and it was not the band) had the forsight to pick the best songs from the TICKETS FOR A PRAYER WHEEL EP It is still unforgivable that the same care was not taken in selecting LP tracks. It sounds as if the compilers of the album tried to find as many "Kiss Me" clones as they could in Sixpence's back catalog.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the "old stuff"..., December 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collage: Portrait of Their Best (Audio CD)

I first discovered Sixpence at a music festival in KY where I promptly picked up thier then "new" album, "This Beautiful Mess." I have been hooked ever since. "Collage" is a great introduction to all the rich, textured Sixpence music already out there -- the smooth melodies, the poetic lyrics of Matt Slocum, and of course Leigh Nash's sweet-as-ice-cream voice. My only complaint would be the absence of a few favorites such as "Disconnect," "Trust," and "Maybe Tommorow."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Greatest Hits album from a "New Band", June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collage: Portrait of Their Best (Audio CD)

Sixpence None The Richer have really made a name for themselves with the release of their hit "Kiss Me". However, they have been together for several years and have put out some great music. The band is a Christian band. However, if you are not a big fan of Christian music, still check out this album because you will be very pleasantly suprised. "Love, Salvation, The Fear Of Death", "Healer", and "The Fatherless And The Widow" are some of the many highlights to this album. There is also a pretty jazzy rendition of the Dr. Suess rhyme "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch." If you liked "Kiss Me", definitely check this one out.
