4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable greatest hits from Timbuk3!, June 15, 1998

By A Customer

This greatest hits album from Timbuk3 is a good representation of their best. Plus you get the bonus track "Assholes on Parade" which has some of PatMac's best and most aggressive harmonica work.

If you'd like to find out where Timbuk3's gone since "The Future's So Bright..." from their debut "Greetings From Timbuk3", check out this album. Since their earliest CDs are no longer available (or hard to find), this may be your only chance to get some of their "Eden Alley" and "Edge of Allegiance" work on CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Place to Start, March 25, 1999

One thing I love about greatest hits packages from groups with only one legitimate hit is that you never grow tired of them. Timbuk 3's greatest hits package is a good place to start enjoying their music and you will not get tired of hearing songs you've heard a million times on the radio. If you want more info on the band seach the web because there is a least one great web site. After buying this CD and the live one you will have to seach the used bins and I highly recommend the album Eden Alley.

5.0 out of 5 stars misunderstood song..., April 25, 2002

almost everybody misunderstands The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades. the song is an ironic view of how our technological advancements are exceeding america's education systems. our schools are not preparing kids enough for what's out there. maybe the poppy music gets in the way-people take it too seriously. listen to timbuk 3's 6-song album released just before 100 Lovers for the acoustic version. it's much darker and you'll probably understand what it's about better.
timbuk 3 is one of the best groups out there and their music only gets better over time... sinful life is the ultimate wedding song...
