Good pop songs are underrated

| I seldom write music reviews for Amazon but this album has had me humming all day. I can't say enough about how the well-crafted pop songs are catchy and intelligent. This album ranks up there with Squeeze's "Singles - 45's and Under" and Gin Blossoms "New Miserable Experience" in terms of almost every song being solid. Will definitely get played over and over in my house. |

 four stars because of confusion

| Why does Fastball have a compelation CD? They had only had three previous albums before this, and in my opinion that is too soon for a compelation album. Fastball is still a young band with, hopefully, more albums to come. They are a great band and I love their music. I would give this CD five stars for the material, but I take away a star simply because they haven't had enough albums for a compelation. |

Couldn't have been better...

| When I first found out that this compilation existed, it caught me off guard. Fastball had only released 3 studio albums prior to this collection and in my mind it was too soon for this album to exist (note that the record company and Fastball had already parted ways when this record was released so it's safe to say that this was released for "economic" issues only). When I read the tracklisting the obvious song titles were present, with one unreleased song (Black Rain) and one B-side (Emotional) added to the mix. Owning all of this material on the original studio albums, I passed on this collection but I can still vouche for this release since I'm familiar with all of the songs and it's worth any price you pay for it. Fastball is truly an underrated band that if you care to listen to this disc you too will appreciate this Austin, TX group just like all of the fans they've picked up over the years. Highlights are (all of the songs are highlights, I mean this a "Best Of" package!) "Are You Ready For The Fallout?, "Slow Drag", "Sooner Or Later", "The Way", "Out Of My Head" & "Fire Escape". PLEASE BUY THIS RECORD! |

| It seems that fastball has had quite a career. They have had three albums, all with remembering tunes. There song have been featured on soundtracks, The NOW cd's and they even had the biggest hit of the 1999 summer "The Way" But not many people want all the songs. They want songs that they remember, people wonder what fastball was like at there best. This album sums it up. It truly shows fastball at there best. It has all the hits that were on the radio... If you want to hear songs by fastball but don't want some of their other "non hit" songs flooding your album, this would be the album for you. Plus it has an enhanced CD for more fun. Buy it! |
