3.0 out of 5 stars Liner Notes are only thing of Note, September 2, 2002

By 

Scott Leslie "tinman2000" (Canada) - See all my reviews

Don't get me wrong, I love the Cough. And the selections here are all first rate. But when they only put out three CDs before calling it quits, a best of hardly seems justified. What would've really put a fine cap on their career would be a rarities disc. Or why not release the rare promo live album available with the "Rolling" CD single? In bandleader Mike Doughty's in-depth liner notes, it sounds like he helped put this one together against his will so maybe it's out due to contract obligations after all. Ultimately, a Soul box set with their three releases and rare stuff would do them more justice - but there probably isn't the demand. Doughty even admits he's not much of an archivist...so stuff like the different mixes from Irrestible Bliss he mentions might be lost to the ages.

This disc is really meant for the uncoverted, wondering what the deal is with this band. Hardcore Cough fans will probably pick this up like I did. But the few rarities here are easy enough to find. For the hardcore, it's really only Doughty's telling track by track notes detailing the band's inner workings and ultimate disintegration that make it worth picking up at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars The creme de la creme., March 19, 2002

A Soul Coughing retrospective that includes some unreleased tracks, as well as tracks heard on other compilations (Unmarked Helicopters, for one). Mike Doughty includes excellent liner notes in the form of track-by-track "behind the song" type stories. It's so good to hear some of the best SC work on one disc... a definite must-have for all Soul Coughing fans, as well as a good intro for all of those who are unfamiliar with their work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SuperSpecialCompilation, May 22, 2002

Yes, it would be nice to see a 2-disc set, but when a band only releases three albums, you take what you can get. The selections on the album are the ones I'd make (though I'd trade "Down to This" for "Janine", I don't think I'm in the majority), and M. Doughty's liner notes are worth the price of the album as it stands. Yeah, die-hards probably have heard all of this before...but it's still worth investing in.
