Free Music Notes for Listen My Friends! The Best of Moby Grape

Free Music Review: Half a great album
Hit: 3 Stars

I have sympathy for the many reviewers who obsess over this band and what might have been, but I don't think they were the revelation that many others do. As far as San Francisco bands go, the Grape were more commercially oriented than all but the Jefferson Airplane. Lyrically, they wrote interesting but hardly unique songs--nothing on the order of the best of Country Joe and the Fish; instrumentally, they were more than competent, but Quicksilver Messenger Service was more accomplished and more adventurous. As for the kind of hyperbole that talks about "5-part harmony"...well, harmony can only extend to 4 parts, and the Grape often sang in 3-part, but doubled voices so that the texture was thickened.
The real story here is that the Grape was more than just the sum of its parts. However impossible Skip Spence must have become, his contributions to the first two LPs were crucial, and each subsequent album pales in comparison to Moby Grape and Wow! Thus, the songs from these two LPs are the heart of this compilation, and as competent and earnest as the remainder are, they can't measure up to the songs from the first two. This is a very good one-disc sampler (though I, too, miss It's a Beautiful Day Today), but my advice is to try to obtain the deleted Sundazed CDs of the first two LPs until such time as they are rereleased in "authorized" versions. Avoid the terrible Matthew Katz-owned San Francisco Sound CDs--they were mastered at incredibly low dynamic levels and sound horrible; in addition they are criminally over-priced.
