Editorial Reviews

Review

"In this short span of time, Reatard has cranked out more memorable songs than some acts do in their whole careers" --Pitchfork


Product Description

For the six months leading up to this release, Matador has put out a limited edition 7-inch by Memphis boy wonder Reatard. Each generated more attention, but was released in a progressively more limited run, starting with 3,500 copies for the first and ending with 400 copies for the sixth. This package collects all six (excluding the Deerhunter track on #4), plus one extra song. Each tune is a perfect snarling pop-punk gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, October 29, 2008
By A. Raymond Dorsey "Ray D" (Baltimore, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
Right now, in 2008, JAY REATARD has the hammer in his hand. This guy produced one of the best real punk albums, with 2006's "Blood Visions." Now, through is latest singles releases, flowing together here seamlessly, he indicates why he may be the greatest musical entity to rise from the muck since Elivs Costello. His moving from punk to a more power pop base is not an abandonment of his roots, but the work of an artist flexing a singular creativity. This is how the best of the best embrace the world of music and make it their own. Essential.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, July 9, 2009
Rock prodigy Jay Reatard seems unstoppable. His knowledge of pop music, punk, and rock seems unfathomable but the kitchen sink style works. Jay Reatard reminds me of the glory days of Guided By Voices in that he is able to write endlessly great power pop songs. How is it that one compilation of 7" singles is more consistently rewarding than some artists' entire catalogs?

On this compilation, Reatard's music runs the gamut and is aggressively poppy. A true kaleidoscope of sound, this release will take a few listens to digest. It's not that this album is a grower; it's more like an overload. The music contained is on `Matador Singles `08' is so good that it takes more than a couple of listens to get it all. Keep an eye on Jay Reatard; hopefully he is able to maintain a consistently high quality of stuff coming for years to come.
