Free Music Review: This ain't enough...
Hit: 5 Stars
There are many fringe-popular bands along all spectrums of rock and pop music who make putting together a greatests hits or retrospective collection a real chore. When most of their singles, let alone album tracks, are relatively unknown to most music buyers from this side of the Atlantic, it is hard to know whether what you are buying represents the best of a particular band that you have "only heard of."
Teenage Fanclub were one of those bands that I had always "only heard of," until about three years ago, when I was going through one of my many Big Star phases. I started with Bandwagonesque, and that quickly turned into a near-obsession that I have not stopped with since. After all that time, I am still not out of my Teenage Fanclub phase.
For the casual listener, this collection will do just fine, and the three new tracks, each written by one of the band's three pop masters (although, to be fair, despite several outstanding tracks over the years, Raymond McGinley is far behind Norman Blake and Gerard Love in quality output, as evidenced by his having only three - not counting the new track - of the album's 18 selected songs listed) stand tall next to their many classics.
The Fannies are simply one of those bands where a greatest hits comp is a sticky proposition. Any fan of classic pop from any era would most definitely benefit from buying each of their seven albums (with A Catholic Education perhaps being the least of them).
Although the band fills up nearly the entire disc, it hardly leaves room for such stunning music in the form of songs such as "Tears Are Cool", "December", "Everybody's Fool", "Fear of Flying", "I Don't Know", "Alcoholiday", "Going Places", "I'll Make It Clear", "Discolite", "God Knows It's True", and "Start Again" (among many others). If you want to know the Fannies, these songs need to be heard as well.
For someone whose taste runs the full gamut of styles, the Fannies have become one of my all-time faves. Buy this album if you only have the need for one, but don't say I didn't warn you of the addictive nature of perhaps the finest, and maybe more importantly, most consistent pop band of the last two decades.
ps for anyone who's looking for a similar pop fix while TF ponder their next move, check out former Fanclub drummer Paul Quinn's The Primary Five. Another fantastic, yet unknown, foray into this same type of sunny, contemplative jangle-rock.
