5.0 out of 5 stars Scream Of The Crop, May 22, 2001

Imagine my surprise and delight to find this Muffs compilation on the Sympathy For The Record Industry imprint, serving to fill in the gaps in anyone's Muffs collection. It's comprised of obscure, rare, and unreleased tracks from the band's brilliant although largely unrecognized repertoire (and maybe that's just as well for us Muffs fans - can you imagine them as MTV poster children?). For the uninitiated, this may be the album to begin with, full of pop sensibility and crunch and the amazing Kim Shattuck's primal scream (imagine Joan Jett after gargling with razor blades and fueled by a jolt of testosterone and human growth hormone with a Dexatrim chaser). All of The Muffs albums are essential listening for any fans of punky power pop. Courtney Love has to be crying in her beer somewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly for fans, February 4, 2000

If you don't own anything by the Muffs, get the first self-titled CD or "Blonder and Blonder" first. Then come back for this one.

This is a collection of alternative versions, demos, covers from compilations, and tunes that just didn't make the cut.

It's still the best thing the band has released since "Blonder and Blonder". If you are a fan, then the liner notes by themselves are worth ten bucks.

And you get 30 tunes for under $10! It's hard to find that kind of bargain these days.

Don't make this your first Muffs album, but make it your third.
