5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Forgotten Band of the Eighties!, July 4, 2004

This review is from: Green Thoughts (Audio CD)

The Smithereens were one of the top forgotten band of the 1980s & Green Thoughts was a top notch album.
Spearheaded by the top 40 hit Only A Memory there were no weak tracks on this collection. AOR favorites House We Used To Live In, World We Know & Drown In My Own Tears made this a must have for fans of the band. Toss in concert favorites Something New, Deep Black & the title song & you have one of the most underrated albums of that entire decade!
Recommended for fans & for those who want to explore a really great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please someone stop me thinking that Green Thoughts is GREAT, April 11, 2003

I found this cd through some random thrift shop pillaging and have been praising the heavens ever since. Green Thoughts is one of those albums that are so amazingly catchy and beautiful to the ears you have to listen to it on repeat ten-thousand times over.

The tracks on Green Thoughts focus around heartache but despite their emo-esque titles (i.e. Drown In My Own Tears, Deep Black, If The Sun Dosen't Shine) its amazingly accessible 1987 vibe puts across more than just the loneliness of a relationship gone sour. Green Thoughts is The Car's with soul and and Elvis Costello with power chords.

If you happen to be looking for an album with some beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics, Green Thoughts is where it's at. It really is incredible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid 2nd effort., August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Thoughts (Audio CD)

The songs on here are a lttle lighter than on their first release and they try to branch out musically a little more with songs like "Especially For You" and "Spellbound", neither of which is in their tried-and-true Beatles-Who-Kinks vein. Like all their CD's, this is consistent all the way through.
