4.0 out of 5 stars best punk songs of all time, March 31, 2004

By	Ken Garrett (Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews

As a whole this cd is not exactly brilliant I found that most songs were prity run of the mill punk, good but not great. However when the buzzcocks get it right they really do pull it out of the bag! All four stars are simply for the two songs on the album which absolutly blew me away, "Ever Fallen In Love" and "Moving Away from the Pulse Beat" these quite simply rank as two of the best songs ever and not just from the punk genre. The guitar and drum solos in "Moving away from the pulse beat" are simply legendary and the lyrics in "Ever fallen in Love" are some of the best in any love songs. Credit must be given to other songs like "Lipstick", "Sixteen Again" and "Late For the Train" which in their own right are good but are simply over shadowed by the brilliance that accompany them on the album.
I would also recomend The Jam to any who find the Buzzcocks enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's Hollow Inside, Noise Annoys, Harmony..., Orgasim Addict, What Do I Get?, Everybody's H. and Fast Cars?, February 26, 2006

By	Chris bct "music everyday" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Yeah, except for those missing songs this is a great greatest hits album.

Uh, except for the inclusion of Walking Distance, No Reply and Nothing Left. The BUZZCOCKS have two distinct types of songs, either classic pop punk hits or ordinary songs that just don't hit the mark. Those 3 songs don't hit the mark.

Their classics are very distinctive. They have their own sharp sound and when they write the great songs, they got 'em right. When they don't, well, it's a real miss off the mark. No question.

I'd get this album if you don't have a better hits album to get hold of. Really, just buy Singles Going Steady and Different Kind of Tension and you'll have 90% or more of all the classic hits they ever did. You can listen to all the other 6 or so albums (more?) they did after those 2 albums and not find a full albums worth of classic pop hits from them. [e-mail]
