5.0 out of 5 stars Amy and Emily give us another great album, October 3, 2000

The Indigo Girls never cease to amaze me. I have followed their careers from their first cd Strange Fire to Retropective. Retrospective is a good collaboration of their greatest hits. The first 14 songs have already been released on previous albums. I would recommend this cd to those people who are just now becomings fans. The songs on this album are the ones that are the biggest crowd pleaser's and one's that you just have to have. And to those of you who already own all other Indigo Girls cd's released, I would still recommend buying it. Amy's new song 'Devotion' touches my heart and the beat is new and exciting. And in Emily's new song 'Leaving', the duo harmonize beautifully again. This album is a good demonstration of their musical career over the years and gives us a hint of the music yet to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great... retrospective, February 4, 2002

This review is from: Retrospective (Audio CD)

This is a great "retrospective" in the sense that it provides a journey for the listener through the Indigo Girls' recorded history. As a long-time fan (since "Closer to Fine"... yes, I'm old!), this CD was sort-of a let-down because it didn't contain MY favorites... however, that wasn't its intent. It's intent is to cull one or two representative songs from each recording. The two new songs are, in this reviewer's opinion, some of the best music the Indigo Girls have ever done... especially "Leaving," which I cannot listen to without thinking of all my friends and loved ones over the years who have moved on... it always brings tears to my eyes. I think this is a great addition to the Indigo Girls' body of work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, but not complete, November 25, 2000

This review is from: Retrospective (Audio CD)

Retrospective is a good CD, and a good one to get if you're thinking of getting into the Indigo Girls' music. While the album provides a good sampling of Indigo Girls old and new, it's far from complete. If you want a real 'compilation' of their works, 1200 Curfews is much better (not to mention, they're at their best live). But for a quick and dirty taste of the Girls, Retrospective provides good flavor.
