3.0 out of 5 stars what is the purpose of this cd?, February 12, 2000

This review is from: Live (Audio CD)

it's not anything that anyone hasn't heard before, and you can get every song that's on here and more on Severe Tire Damage. I mean I understand the "best of the early years" cd is so that people can get to hear some early stuff without making a major expenditure on the Then: The Early Years 2 disc set, but this makes no sense. Granted, it's only about half as much as you would find the full length STD typically, but it's missing some key tracks (i.e. she's an angel, why does the sun shine?, the hidden Planet Of The Apes tracks etc.). It might seem like a bargain for about 7 bucks, but I reccomend that you shell out the full retail so you can get the whole thing. Even if typical cd retail is too much for you, I reccomend getting a tape of Severe Tire Damage rather than a cd of this... by the way it still gets 3 stars because it's TMBG and because even in abbreviated form, STD is still a good live cd.

This is just some of the live tracks of Severe Tire Damage, if you just want to hear their live stuff, get it. Nothing sparkly new here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Check out my review for The Best of the Early Years, May 29, 2001

I have just about the same thing to say about this album as I do for The Best of the Early Years (Not "Then:"). BMG is just releasing half-a**ed discs to wring out some more money from the Giants. This album gets its second star simply for the fact that it's a collection of good songs. Severe Tire Damage is the way to go. Listen to the other reviewers.
