Total RIP OFF

As someone who owns EVERY Everclear single, I must sadly report that everyone of these songs was already released somewhere else. I took the time 2 years ago to take all of these songs and put them onto a single disc to listen to in my car.... This is really sad. August 8, 2008

Something Different

Being a hard core Everclear fan I bought this without thought. When I first listened to it I was pretty surprised. It wasn't at all what I expected from an Everclear album. I soon realized that it was a cover album so I changed my expectations and continued to listen. I loved some of the songs right off the bat but it took me a little time to really warm to the entire album. While I definitely wouldn't want all of their future work to be like this I still found the album is be upbeat and fun. I love the live bits, it's like being at one of their concerts again. Don't expect this to be like their regular work but listen anyway, you might end up enjoying it. This definitely isn't my favorite Everclear album nor is it their best work but as far as cover albums go it is certainly 5 star worthy. July 26, 2008

Anxiously waiting for a new studio album...

I love most of Everclear's music but I was disappointed when this album arrived and I discovered it was a cover album rather than original music (I ordered it without reading the description of it because I am an Everclear fan). The best song on here and arguably better than the Thin Lizzy version (Boys are Back in Town) was released on the Detroit Rock City Soundtrack several years ago so I've been rocking to it for a while now. Hopefully Everclear is working on some new studio stuff. I miss the late 80's when new quality rock music was coming out frequently from a wide variety of bands. Long live the two (lead and rhythm) electric guitar, one bass, one drummer, and a singer form of music. May 19, 2008

Fun to have Everclear back

While this sort of album might not get a ton of respect from hardcore fans, I find this new release a ton of fun. I enjoyed most all the songs, particularly Pocahontas, Boys are Back In Town, and Speed Racer. Hopefully this will lead to another studio album with new material. Good Fun.

Alright by me

Been listening to this a lot. Cool covers and it rocks! "Kicks," "The Boys Are Back in Town," and "Our Lips Are Sealed" jump out at me. I think most people who claim to be Everclear fans will like this, and you don't even have to be a die-hard fan. April 29, 2008
