2.0 out of 5 stars Collage A Poor Sampling Of Indie Sixpence, July 19, 2000

By	Greg Carpenter (Wake Forest, NC USA) - See all my reviews

It is much more advisable for new Sixpence listners to buy Sixpence's first two albums, THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS and THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW than this hastily thrown together collection. Missing from this "portrait" are Sixpence classics like "Trust" and "Meaningless," a song the band still plays live at epic length. The artwork is second-rate and goes against the artistic nature of a band. Avoid COLLAGE unless you just can't afford both of Sixpence's early CD's. One positive thing I will mention about COLLAGE is that whoever selected the tracks for the album (and it was not the band) had the forsight to pick the best songs from the TICKETS FOR A PRAYER WHEEL EP It is still unforgivable that the same care was not taken in selecting LP tracks. It sounds as if the compilers of the album tried to find as many "Kiss Me" clones as they could in Sixpence's back catalog.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the "old stuff"..., December 13, 1999

By A Customer

I first discovered Sixpence at a music festival in KY where I promptly picked up thier then "new" album, "This Beautiful Mess." I have been hooked ever since. "Collage" is a great introduction to all the rich, textured Sixpence music already out there -- the smooth melodies, the poetic lyrics of Matt Slocum, and of course Leigh Nash's sweet-as-ice-cream voice. My only complaint would be the absence of a few favorites such as "Disconnect," "Trust," and "Maybe Tommorow."

5.0 out of 5 stars gimme some o dat, September 8, 1999

By	college guy ([e-mail]) (Rolla, USA) - See all my reviews

This is probably the best album I own. I'd give it 10 stars if amazon would let me. Buy it if you like the new sixpence stuff, but it is better than the new stuff. It's sorta like Caedmon's call, but better.
