A greatest hits for SFA...I must be getting old

"How can this not be five stars, ya know? I have followed them since Fuzzy Logic and really, they've done no wrong. Their b-sides are better than some bands'a-sides. I am about to purchase the dvd instead with the videos and documentary. As much as I am a fan, listening to their full lengths will always sound better. If you are newly keen on this band, the greatest hits is a great start. If you want to try more, "Radiator" or "Rings Around The World" are definite must-owns."

"I had heard about these Welsh guys a long time ago. Entertainment Weekly loved Phantom Power, but I didn't pay attention. Lo and behold, several years have passed and I found out they had a greatest hits cd out. So I preordered it and got it two days ago. Their music has few similarities to bands before them, except for the Beach Boys at times. If the Beach Boys had done this many drugs, maybe I would have liked them too. But Super Furry Animals form very innovative music in the vintage soundscapes they create. I recommend scanning over their razor-sharp witty lyrics while listening. In fact, now I want to learn to speak Welsh just to figure out what exactly they're saying on "Yesbeidiau Heulog", and "Blerwytirhwng?". I'm definitely going to join the SFA cult and if you like music at all, you should too.



Oh, and don't forget to blast "The Man Don't Give A F*ck" down neighborhood streets ;)

The best band on the planet since the beatles

"Ok let me start by saying i gave this cd 4* instead of 5 because every single song for the most part in there past cataloge are just as good as the singles presented here, so you might get this and think this is all you need. You are very wrong. That was the mistake i made for about 5 months after i got this cd, then one day i thought awww ill just get a few more of there cds for the heck of it, and man they dont have any stinker songs. Now the only cds of theres that im missing is fuzzy logic and the gurilla one (i cant remember what its called but something like that). They to me are the beatles, they change there styles more times than the beatles can think of and there harmonies are more like the beach boys. They are increddible. Ive been trying to turn every person i can on to them because they are just that good. There should be no reason in the world that they arnt a household name and there shouldnt be a reson for you the consumer not to like them. They are glorious pop music for the masses. They put every other pop band to shame."
