5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite PEBBLES volume so far, June 3, 2004

This review is from: Pebbles 5 (Audio CD)

From the opening rocker "No Good Woman" by The Tree, PEBBLES VOL. 5 (subtitled "Various Morons") is a vast improvement on previous volumes by reissuing 20 songs which don't have a dud among them. It's hard to choose favorites, as each song has something cool going for it, but The Five Canadians' "Writing on the Wall", The Dirty Wurds' "Why", The Magi's "You Don't Know Me", The Merry Dragons' "Universal Vagrant", The Plague's "Go Away", Fe Fi Four Plus 2's "I Wanna Come Back", The Escapades' "I Tell No Lies", The Time Stoppers' "I Need Love", 12 A.M.'s "The Way I Feel", and Shag's "Stop and Listen". Some moments which may be seen as weak by discriminating ears would be Little Phil and the Nightshadows' "The Way It Used to Be", The State of Mind's "Move", and The Satyrs' anti-war song "Yesterday's Hero", but I still loved all three.

Run, don't walk, to pick up this garage band classic compilation! Every single song is superb hard-rockin' 60s perfection, with plenty of snarling male vocals, frenzied keyboards, spastic drumming, and wicked guitar and bass work. Some of the sound quality on a few songs is less than stellar (Danny and the Counts' "You Need Love", a real throbbing masterpiece, is quite muffled), but keep in mind these are culled from ultra-rare 45's and dust-covered master tapes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Traits High on a Cloud, July 4, 2008

This review is from: Pebbles 5 (Audio CD)

By far, the best song on the album is High on a Cloud by the Traits. It's a classic garage band hit, from a great era in time.
