Album Review

Comprised of one disc of hits and one disc of rarities, the double-disc retropective Fishbone 101: Nuttasaurusmeg Fossil Fuelin attempts to fulfill the needs of both the collector and the casual fan. The first disc, featuring hits and cult classics "Freddie's Dead" and "Everyday Sunshine, " is a fine overview of their career, hitting nearly all of the band's best moments. On its own, it would be the album to own for casual fans. The second disc is filled with B-sides, demos, alternate takes, and rarities that will be of utmost interest to dedicated followers.

Slice of History

Owning this compilation is essential to digital collecting. I own all of these tracks on vinyl, and have been painstakingly transferring my vinyl to digital for years. But the ability to get all of this music without the pop and sizzle of my turntable is completely excellent. It is a choice of Fishbone tunes that shows a true understanding of what this band was all about. They didn't have hit-after-hit type of s___ going down, so the tunes have to represent the talent of this always under-recognized band. And they do represent. Fishbone is a band that was way outside their own time. I can't simply say 'ahead of their time' because their music was bigger than that. They were as much about what came before them as they were about the future, and in that way they defined a specific era in music that, in terms of tenacity, message, and energy, will rarely be repeated. They were the band that other bands went out to see. I have never seen so much electricity and fierceness in any punk-funk-rock-jazz show as the Fishbone shows at the 9:30 Club in the early 80's. And when I saw them two decades later in Santa Cruz, the talent and intensity hadn't diminished a bit. Altogether, dozens of shows later, I cannot offer them enough respect. Without this in your collection you do not have a collection.

Great music Great Band

Funk is the Key. Best bass player ever

a touch of genius

Fishbone is one of the most cutting-edge groups from my youth, second to none. From going to early shows in '86 at Fenders Ballroom until now, they still bring the magic and genius that only a Fishbone show can provide. As a fan from back in the day, I recommend this compilation as a must-have for new fans!
