CD Reviews

Very Disappointing

Trash Boy | 11/03/2002

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a fanatic of the Jerky Boys ever since I first heard their bootleg tapes. I've always felt they've had something truly unique to offer in comedy and they've left an indelible impression.
Having said that, I have to give the Best of the Jerky Boys a big thumbs down. I purchased this CD with great anticipation when I saw it in the store and promptly returned it. There are several flaws with this CD. For starters, it only contains calls from their first two releases, leaving out any material from their subsequent albums. And while it does contain some of the better calls from the first two albums, it also contains several forgetable ones that should have been omitted. It's as if someone put all of the calls from the first two albums in a hat and randomly selected them. So how this can be considered a Best of collection is beyond me.
What's even more disappointing is the new material. The cover of the CD states there are '12 unreleased tracks,' which I was particularly looking forward to. Well these unreleased tracks include two quick, completely unfunny calls. The rest of the new tracks are not even calls at all. They are simply blurbs from their various characters, offering various advice and information. Huh? These are supposed to be considered new tracks? I couldn't believe it. The Jerky Boys should really have more respect for their fans than that.
In conclusion, do not bother buying this. You're much better off buying any of the Jerky Boy's other releases."

You cant make a best of cd for the jerkyboys!!!

"if youve never heard the jerkyboys, maybe this is a good buy...but in all honesty, youre better off buying all of their previous albums because youll be missing out on some great ones...you simply cant fit all of their "best" pranks on one cd. for fans who already own every cd of theirs...this is a huge disappointment...dont buy it. 10 of the 12 unreleased "tracks" are not pranks, but just the characters talking (giving advice, etc). i bought it expecting 12 new pranks...i was extremely disappointed."
