5.0 out of 5 stars OCCIDENTAL MUSIC, June 17, 2003

Guitar drags around pounding drum kit and trippy-dippy vocals that shout like an adolescent in teen-angst sexual transformation. This compilation of singles and B-sides is an entirety in itself with the loud rhythmic guitar creating a climaxing crescendo that rises and breaks in guitar heaven in the final two songs, "Forged It" and "Home At Dawn". Great stuff, and smart too! Superchunk's insights into teen wanderlust and adult misgiving speak to the teen in all of us and if Superchunk had their way they would crawl right back to babyhood and re-utter their very first syllables in the hope of charting a course to a less troubled but less tuneful adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars 19 song compilation of non-album tracks from the band's peak, January 22, 2010

Released in 1995, this second of three Superchunk compilations collects 19 non-album tracks from arguably the band's peak period. These singles, EPs and contributions to soundtracks (The Jerky Boys Movie) and various indie rock compilations date from the same time as the superlative "On The Mouth" (1993) and "Foolish" (1994) albums. Interestingly enough, neither of these two title tracks were included on its respective album, but instead released as a B-side (and included on this compilation). Highlights include the aforementioned two songs, "Cadmium", "Ribbon", "Baxter", and "Forged It", as well as outstanding covers of the Magnetic Fields' "100,000 Fireflies" and the Chills' "Night Of Chill Blue". Track 19 starts with a minute of silence, then 20 seconds of feedback, and finally an alternate take of "Precision Auto". I enjoy this collection as much as any of the band's regular albums and recommend it as a starting point for new fans.
