5.0 out of 5 starsGreatness
By Joshua Benton on May 18, 2005
Format: Audio CD
After the last couple albums (Pretty Together and Action Pact, neither of which did much good for anyone), it was easy to forget how frickin' awesome Sloan was on albums 1 through 5. This comp does a very fine job of doing that.

But one point: There are two versions of the DVD, one for Canadian release and one for Americans. Because of licensing issues, the Canadian version has a ton more stuff on it -- live performances, TV appearances, etc. So if you really want the full Sloan experience, go buy it at Amazon.ca or some other fine Canadian online music vendor.

5.0 out of 5 starsAlternative pop perfection
By J. Persh on May 12, 2005
Format: Audio CD
I've been lucky to have lived in Detroit (well nobody is truly lucky to live in Detroit) where alternative radio is based in Canada and therefore is required to play a certain percentage of canadian acts. As a result I've been exposed to the best that Canada has to offer with bands such as The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Cowboy Junkies, Doughboys, The Grapes Of Wrath, 24 Gone, Sarah McLachlan and the almighty Sloan.

If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing Sloan you're missing out on one of the truly great alternative pop bands of the past 20 years. And while Sloan are huge in Canada, sadly America hasn't had the honor of being properly exposed.

Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sloan first burst on the scene with Geffen Records' 1993 release "Smeared". The power pop grunge like "Underwhelmed" received a fair amount of airplay on Alternative radio but it was not followed up with any significant airplay on a 2nd single. By the time "Twice Removed" hit a couple years later, those in the loop knew that Sloan were a special band. The album failed to produce a huge single and attain commercial success, but it did achieve critical acclaim and was loaded with great songs in "Penpals", "Coax Me", "I Hate My Generation", "People Of The Sky" & "Snowsuit Sound".

Still flying slightly under the radar, record #3 "One Chord To Another" was another artistic achievement the boasted the lead single "The Good In Everyone". And while OCTA was another great Sloan record it possibly wore its influences (Beatles) a bit too close to the sleeve.

Well 4 studio records later Sloan is still making great music and still haven't made it in America. Their fanbase has reached almost cult status and those that love the band are really into them. If you're a fan of guitar based alternative pop with great melodies then you can do no wrong by picking this record up and discovering one of the truly greatest pop bands of the past 20 years.

4.0 out of 5 starsI would give it 5...
By Miss P. on October 19, 2005
Format: Audio CD
I really like Sloan. And I would give it a 5 star... (the DVD was pretty good too.)But when I tried to rip the music onto Windows Media Player, it would keep skipping and some stupid download thing kept coming up. That was rather annoying. Although this is a very good album, with all the hits on it.

Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsSingles? Yes. Best Of? No.
By Blake Maddux on August 23, 2008
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Sloan is a pretty good band. They are the type of hometown boys who one hopes will make good. They are not extravagantly talented, but among the four of them, they know how to write really good - sometimes very good - songs. And while their albums are always a bit uneven, several tracks (not only the singles) from each of them have emerged as favorites of fans and critics.

For these reasons, Sloan's singles collection is especially useful to the curious listener. Of course, a band's singles are not necessarily their "best" songs. However, knowing a band's singles is the most effective way to learn what made them popular. On A Sides Win - named after a track from their 1996 album One Chord to Another - each album is represented by at least two songs, except for 2003's Action Pact. Two very worthwhile new recordings are also included. (The hard-rocking "All Used Up", which isn't quite as good as "Try To Make It", was released as a single.)

One Chord to Another, considered among many critics to be their best album, is the only one to have three of its songs featured on this collection. Among these is the (early) Chicago-esque "Everything You've Done Wrong" and the short and snappy "The Good In Everyone". One Chord's predecessor, Twice Removed (which was voted best Canadian album ever in two separate polls by the same magazine) is represented in part by "Coax Me", which is probably the best power pop song of their career. As long as I am working my way backward, I should mention that wonderfully clever "Underwhelmed" and "500 Up" are only two of several really good songs from their underrated debut LP, 1992's Smeared.

However, the singles-only approach causes the band's 1998-2003 output to be represented less effectively.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA "best of" from one of the great pop bands in the history of rock
By Robert Moore HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on February 9, 2007
Format: Audio CD
For the life of me I don't know where I learned about Sloan. But I confess it was only recently and I must further admit some shame at never before having heard of such a magnificent band. I started doing some research and discovered that when they were first breaking out in a big way in Canada, their record company decided that the kind of power pop they played would not go over well in the United States, where post-Nirvana grunge was dominating the rock scene. This was certainly my loss, since some of my all time favorite bands--the Beatles, Big Star, the Shoes, and the Smithereens--were all power pop bands. I started asking some of my more musical savvy friends about Sloan and was surprised that none of them had heard of the band either. And after poking around on some chat boards, I'm convinced that Sloan may be the greatest band around that the United States remains in complete ignorance about. Since first finding out about Sloan, I've been frantically rushing about getting as many of their albums as possible and am now convinced that except for the New Pornographers, they may be the best band out of Canada in the past couple of decades at least.

A SIDES WIN is a superb overview of Sloan's albums, but I have to add a qualifier. Some best-of anthologies can distort a band, making them sound better on a single disc than they do on individual albums. What is astonishing about Sloan is that most of their individual albums are very nearly as good as this greatest hits disc. There is no sharp drop off in quality between the songs that made the A-Sides discs and those that didn't. In fact, many of the songs that I have most enjoyed on individual albums did not make this disc.

This is power pop, a genre that has wide but not universal appeal. I absolutely love it.Read more ›
