The Greatest Hits - Why Try Harder Reviews
| 26 of 27 people found the following review helpful  Why Try Harder?, This review is from: Greatest Hits: Why Try Harder (Audio CD) If you like Fatboy Slim, even if you have all his albums, this is still worth a purchase. The two bonus tracks are pretty good, and its nice having a good solid compilation of these tracks without the blending into the next songs, etc. Not all the tracks are the radio edits, as Wonderful Night still drops the F-bomb, but Gangster Tripping cuts out the S-word. It's good to put on with a group of friends who don't want to hear the 7 minute extended mix of every song, you know?Anyways, this is a fantastic compilation, and a good intro to the Fatboy, if you're new. The DVD is perfect as well. Norman Cook, you're my heeeeero. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful A fairly well selected compilation of songs from the best DJ around, This review is from: Greatest Hits: Why Try Harder (Audio CD) Fatboy Slim is by far my favorite musical artist, because I've never heard a song he's mixed that I haven't completely loved. Although there are only three tracks on this CD that I've actually heard on the radio (Praise You, The Rockafeller Skank, Wonderful Night), all of the songs on here are incredibly good and worthy of airplay. Extreme Fatboy Slim fans like me will likely already have purchased his four main albums and have most of these tunes, but this CD also offers a few songs that can't be found on any of them. Neither of the remixes are on his albums, and both are equally decent (very danceable too). "Sho Nuff" originally comes from a single for "Praise You", and has a rather catchy organ rhythm as well as some abrupt vocal excerpts for an overall nifty track. "Everybody Loves a Carnival" is one of the best non-album tracks on this CD, and it incorporates a humorous timpani beat with parts of Fatboy Slim's already existent songs "Everybody Needs a 303" from Better Living...

I'm a casual fan, and I bought this disc for a good overview of FBS's most popular hits.If that's the type of audience this disc is aimed toward, it definitely succeeds. The first six or so tracks are the ones that everybody's heard (and most people seem to like!), and the remaining twelve tracks lead the listener into songs that he or she hasn't likely heard on the ratio. |
