5.0 out of 5 stars A singles collection from one of the finest singles bands, 29 Oct 2004
By Mike Mantin (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
2004 has seen a number of Britpop survivors in sticky situations, so you'd expect the Super Furry Animals- a band who were once described as just another Alan McGee-assisted fad- to do the same, but no. The Super Furry Animals have consistently innovative and listenable.

Songbook is a collection of the finest singles from one of the most colourful singles bands of the last decade. The bizarre and entertaining publicity stunts have ranged from arriving to festivals in a pink tank to pissing about with Yetis, while the music remains just as weird and wonderful. Every alt-rock classic is here, from the early fuzz-rock of God! Show Me Magic to Caribbean-flavoured classic Northern Lites. It's a showcase for the fact that the Furries are as original and daring as experimentalist mates Mogwai, but their best tunes will remain stuck in your head for weeks. They're one of the few bands who can create an instant Top 20 hit and still stick two minutes of Japanese phone noises at the end of it.

If you're not yet an SFA devotee, this is the perfect starting point. It's a Greatest Hits that's far more than just a collection of their most commercial work: amidst the 21 tracks are two songs sung in Welsh, a seven-minute techno exploration and a chart hit with the most uses of the f-word in it ever. Funny, accessible and original, and this is just volume one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best British Band of the Last 10 Years, 7 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Every tune a classic, I don't know of any other band who have constantly reinvented themselves so superbly well.
Each studio album is well worth purchasing individually, however this compilation is a good starting place for the uninitiated (then go and buy all the studio albums).
Go and see them live, grow your hair like an afghan hound, learn to believe in the power of SFA - you're life will never be the same again!
Woof!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest singles band of the last 10 years, 5 Oct 2004
In my opinion, the Super Furry Animals, who are one of my favourite bands, have never quite made that classic album which they first promised to.
There is no denying the quality and quirkiness of the music they have produced over the last decade though, and this singles collection is testamount to this.
From the first singles to the the present day there is something for all fans of quality rock/pop.
If you haven't purchased any of the SFA albums this is an ideal way to get into the group.
The collection is comprehensive and I thoroughly recommend it to all music fans.
