What do Amazon.com customers think?
Better Than a "Greatest Hits"I have always been puzzled by the record industry's approach to compilations. They study their ledger sheets, choose the biggest sellers of the last five or ten years, throw in an odd new track here and there and call it somebody's "Greatest Hits". Aren't those the songs everyone already bought? Isn't that why they are the biggest sellers? Why not give us a chance to listen to the works that were overlooked instead?With "Like the Deserts Miss the Rain" Everything But the Girl has done just that…
Good for a couple of new tracks, but nothing too new...EBTG fans -- you'll probably buy this regardless of what anyone says like I did. I even ordered it off of Amazon.co.uk! But it's a nice mix of their greatest hits that have already come out, so if you have all their CDs it may not be the best thing for you to buy as you'd essentially have this CD already. That said, the creative choice and editing and placement offer an interesting lookback that this band of 20 years has on itself. A nice mellow later at night CD.
