Anyone who remembers the 1990's era music can recall some really great "song-oriented" music. Groups such as The Gin Blossoms, The Rembrandts, Dishwalla, and The Smithereens along with grunge/alt Seattle sound bands created great music to listen to while driving with the windows rolled down on a cool evening. Toad the West Sprocket were the forerunners of jangle crunch alternative rock.Along with organic guitar riff music arrangements, vocalist Glenn Phillips gave the group a raw but refined edge with his urgent vocal style. P.S. (A Toad Retrospective) is an excellent example of a greatest hits album including the edgy chorused titles "Come down", "Fall down", deep lyrical, spatially arranged songs like "All I want", "Walk on the Ocean", and thought provoking ballads like "Something’s always wrong" There are good music acts out now, but it quite doesn't seem to have the deeper meaning of the music of 1990's, where vocalists and musical arrangements had an organic, non-formulaic sound, and wrote about issues without incessantly whining and complaining. Hopefully, I will look back on the millennium decade and can say music artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Jack Johnson, and Feist opened up a new era of creative expression to remember. To future of good music, C.G.Read full review
Great CS - Only the Best of "Toad the Wet Sprocket." I was interested on the song - Walk on the Ocean. It is mellow and great. All of the songs are good because it is only the best songs they made.
I bought this CD when it first came out in the 90s, lost it and was glad to have run across and be able to add it to my collection again. Great music from one if the greatest alternative bands ever.
I've been a fan of Toad the Wet Sprocket for a long time. I wanted this CD but hadn't been able to find it in any of the used CD stores. Then I found it for a great price on eBay.
Sure, for a "greatest hits", it is missing a couple of good songs, but if you want a CD full of good Toad songs this is it.
