Music reviews of Best of Sixpence None the Richer
Music Review: Should've been a 2 disc set with "Best of the Early Years"
Rating: 4 Stars
1. Loser Like Me ~ A catchy song with quirky, honest lyrics. This is one of the 3 all-new songs, and a prime reason to own this album.
2. Us ~ the second all-new song, not as catchy or as interesting as the other two, but it still managed to be the only charting single of the three. go figure.
3. Too Far Gone ~ hands down one of the best Sixpence songs ever! The song is a long, dreamy rocker with a terrific jam at the end thats over 2 minutes long.
4. The Ground You Shook ~ A good contemporary Christian song, the Christian songs included are all pretty slow paced and plodding at times, but it was good to include them, because casual fans may never hear them otherwise.
5. Kiss Me ~ Do I need to say anything about this one people?
6. Breathe Your Name ~ A little heard single from their awesome album Divine Discontent. This one is upbeat and happy, as are all of their radio hits.
7. Melody of You ~ Another Christian song
8. Dancing Queen ~ A cover of the ABBA original. You'll either love it or hate it. This was sort of an unnecessary inclusion, as it was never a hit on radio.
9. Don't Dream It's Over ~ the Crowded House original, made more contemporary. Most people boo me for saying I like this one better than the original, but it is way more catchy. It's almost like it was written for them...
10. There She Goes ~ the late addition to their self titled third album. I'm not quite sure what made this song a hit for them, but it's an o.k. cover of an o.k. La's hit.
11. I Need Love ~ A should've been hit. This song is another reason to own this album.
12. I Just Wasn't Made For These Times ~ a cover of a Brian Wilson song. You'll either love it or hate it. I love it.
13. Breathe ~ An ok Christian song, Leigh sings so whispery here its hard to understand all the lyrics.
14. Brighten My Heart ~ The strongest Christian song on the album.
15. Angeltread ~ O.k. Here's where they screwed up. This song was released on the "best of the early years" album, which was released around the same time this was (i'm pretty sure) why didn't they just release a 2 disc 'best of' set? THAT album includes the best songs from their first 2 albums, and the EP Tickets for a Prayer Wheel, including Angeltread, Within a Room Somewhere, and Trust, which are on this album.
18. Kiss Me (Japanese version) ~ a waste of disc space for American fans. why not include I Can't Catch You, or the remix of Love from the Bounce soundtrack?
Songs sorely missing from this album:
I Can't Catch You
Love (remix)
Northern Lights
Sad But True
Don't Pass Me By
Also, it appears there was a foreign release of this album that omitted two of the 'Best of the early years' songs and included I Can't Catch You, Need to be Next to You (from the 'Bounce' soundtrack), and Waiting for the Sun. Need to be next to You is an odd choice, considering that was a Leigh Nash solo single. Another great Leigh Nash song to check out would be Charmed Life from the Uptown Girls soundtrack.
Overall, I give this album a near perfect score, because it includes alot of obscure material not included on their albums. But at the same time omits some golden material.
Description of Best of Sixpence None the Richer
Over the past 10 years, Sixpence None The Richer has left its indelible mark not only on Christian music, but also the culture at large. This 18-song collection accomplishes this by including out-of-print fan favorites from their early years, well-known songs from many compilation proejcts and soundtracks, and their recent breakthrough radio hits, plus 3 new songs never heard before! Until now, one would have had to buy 11 different albums to collect all the songs in this package. This collection offers everything a Sixpence fan would want to own, all in one package for the first time ever!It may seem curious to the casual music observer that Texas-based pop band Sixpence None The Richer, who had one big hit in "Kiss Me" and one semi-hit with their version of the La?s "There She Goes" would have enough material to release a greatest hits collection in full album form as opposed to, say, an EP. While both tracks are included here ("Kiss Me", in fact, shows up twice), other songs culled from the band's archive, as well as contributions from assorted compilations, provide plenty more listening pleasure for Sixpence fans as Leigh Nash's sleepy vocals complement catchy hook-driven melodies in slickly produced studio arrangements. Some of the brighter spots on the record are actually covers of other artists' greatest hits that force Sixpence None The Richer out of their comfort zone and into more intriguing territory, such as on Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" and ABBA's "Dancing Queen". Three previously unreleased songs are also included. --John Moe
