5.0 out of 5 stars The Finest Pop Band You've Never Heard., August 30, 2006

This review is from: Flock-Best of Mutton Birds (Audio CD)

Over 4 full-length releases throughout the 90's, New Zealanders the Mutton Birds displayed a serious knack for extremely hummable, consistently satisfying guitar pop (check out "While You Sleep," "Anchor Me," or "Dominion Road."). The songs of Don McGlashan rival those of fellow Kiwi Neil Finn for the earnest-yet-catchy quotient, but McGlashan also adds a flair for dark storytelling that brings his native land's mystery and vastness into the mix, with songs like "A Thing Well Made," "Queen's English," and "Envy of Angels." This is a well-chosen overview, that includes many--but by no means all--of the band's finest moments, and should have you wondering how you went so long without ever hearing of these guys, and will send you back online to get your hands on whatever other Mutton Birds CDs you can find.

This best of collection is simply a brilliant compilation from one of New Zealand's best, and often overlooked groups. The songs are brilliant both musically and lyrically. The album has a great mix of singles and more obuscure, but no less brilliant songs.
