Not a great beginner's CD, Jan 5 2004
This review is from: Live Record Witless Banter (Audio CD)
This is my first intro to DHC. I am a big fan of groups with intelligent or interesting lyrics (TMBG, Barenaked Ladies, Nerfherder) and used the Amazon recommendation to look into them. I figured this would hit their better songs and let me decide if I want to pursue them further. The problem with a live album is that it is harder to understand the lyrics so I am not sure if I would like a studio album since I am such a lyrics fan. They seem like a fun band with lots of energy and would be a good live show. However, I don't like how they drop the F-bomb a lot. Overall, it is likely a very good album for DHC fans but maybe not a good starter's album.

To anyone reading this review, BUY THIS CD! I bought it after not knowing many DHC songs and it knocked me off of my feet. The CD was instantly on the list as one of my all time favorite CD's. There isn't one song on here not worth listening to. Trust me, it's the kind of CD you listen to in your car and decide to keep driving around, just so you can keep listening to..alright maybe I'm the only one that happened to, but trust me, there is not one song on here that you won't want to listen to. SO BUY IT ALREADY!

Better Live than recorded, best DHC CD, Oct 18 2002
This review is from: Live Record Witless Banter (Audio CD)
If you're only going to own one DHC CD, it should be this one. It is a bit of a greatest hit compilation (though I miss Pick Up Lines and Setting Sun and some others) and many of the songs are better than on the studio recordings. I'll probably never get to see them live, but obviously they are meant to be heard that way. If you can sit still through this CD, then something is wrong, because its mostly fast with many great lyrics. Word of caution: DHC and the Ska sound is not everyone's cup of tea. But that is their loss. Enjoy.
