Album Description Maintaining strong indie credibility, this platinum-selling Milwaukee bred alt-rock triop has been called the "original unplugged band." The raw power of their no-frills yet highly emotive acoustic sound-plus the lyrical heft of Gordon Gano's songs-made the Femmes postmodern cult heroes with enormous staying power. In his notes to this, their first career-spanning collection, Rolling Stone's David Fricke states, "The Violent Femmes are what rock & roll must have sounded like at the creation." Hear it on 16 classics including "Blister in the Sun," "Add It Up," "Gone Daddy Gone", "Nightmares," and "American Music." Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAbout as good as it could be. H3@+h | VT | 09/12/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "There are some who would call their self-titled album their "best of", and while it is a great album, this is a good collection too. The first five tracks here are from that album, and are well chosen. Then a couple from "Hallowed Ground", and a couple from "Blind Leading The Naked". From "3" we get only "Nightmares". I personally love that album and still think it's underrated. Toss on "American Music", "Color Me Once" from "The Crow" soundtrack, and a few more of their later songs and this is a fine overview of the Violent Femmes career. If this also included "Prove My Love" and "World We're Living In" I'd have no complaints. Still, this is most of the best." Not for young ears ! Great energy ! Nomad | Michigan | 09/07/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Everything I expected with an additional shock here and there. It was a great way to introduce my fiance to this group. Right up his alley." Of course it could be better but it still is great.... unbridled_id | Berwyn, il United States | 04/01/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ok, a two disc set is really what is in order for this band. I know many feel all you need is the first disc and I disagree. Yes, I remember back in the late 80's being introduced to this band (first album) by a buddies house drinking tom collins' on a warm summer day. First album has a place in my heart like it does for everyone else. The second album by this band is great, just different from the first which is why it was not given the acclaim. Then go through their other albums and as this cd shows they have many very good to great songs. Color me once really is once of the best songs they have ever made in my opinion and that was made a decade after their first album."
