"The Smitereens are one of the most underappreciated rock bands I have ever heard of. People just dismiss them away because they're not in their prime. Good, bluesy music. Keep up the good work."

Excellent collection for smithereens fans!!!

"This is the re-mastered version of God Save The Smithereens, the smithereens last all origninal studio album, packaged together with pat dinizio's first solo album "Songs and Sounds". For those of you who don't have either right now, get this, one stop shopping package. Pat's first solo album is well worth it, and with the bonus tracks, very great addtion. The bonus tracks on God Save The Smithereens I do believe justify buying another copy of this album, because the original was just that good, and the bonus tracks are excellent also. This is the second version of God Save The Smithereens I own (with the original being number one, but I actually own 3 version of Pat Dinizio's songs and sounds (original release date 1997 on velvel) which the first version had 12 tracks plus a hidden track. on this version, the hidden track is #13, and 14-19 are live tracks, or demo's of older song, good to hear in a new form. Their was one edition in-between of "song's and sounds" that has 21 tracks or so that are different than this version. Worth checking out, or buying all of these albums, but his is a great package worth the re-buying."

Yeah, For The Fans

"If you're reading these reviews at all, you probably just want to know if the Smithereens fizzled out totally. I listened to both "Date with the Smithereens" and this album in the used section, and this one is better. ("Date" definately felt full of filler, and I didn't buy it.)



You'll recognize the pre-11 sound on this album if you're an old time fan. It's not a knockout... but since you probably won't ever find these songs on a "greatest hits" collection, go an get it!"
