If you're in the spirit of all the best-of projects this year, you'll want
to catch the latest album with the Plumb name stamped on, The Best
of Plumb. With Plumb's departure from Essential Records, along with All Star United's,
a best-of project was released despite only 2 albums existing for the group (same as with ASU).
So with that said, is this a good collection? Well, yes and no. If you're a Plumb fan, it's a
good collector's item, but not worth the full price of a CD. Bonus features do include 3 remixes-- 2
being brand new and one that was previously released on the Essential compilation Propska One
from 1998. If you're looking for a sample of some good Plumb cuts, this album actually has a pretty
good assortment. From hits off their self-titled debut album like "Sobering (Don't Turn Around),"
"Who Am I?," and "Crazy," to hits from Candycoatedwaterdrops like "Here With Me,"
"Stranded," and "Late Great Planet Earth," the listener is in for some of the best tracks from
both albums.
An unnecessary release, but more-than-likely made just to fulfill contract agreements, The Best of Plumb
is a decent collection from an extraordinary band that hopefully has many years ahead of them
to make follow-ups to these tunes.
