Listen, if not Just for the New Music! - I m a huge Indigo Girls fan, and I m always skeptical about Best Ofs, but this one really is fantastic. It has most of my faves, and the new songs alone are amazing. Devotion is My favorite song they do, and had Inever bought this album, I d never know that. I really enjoy albums that have input from the artist(s), and this album made me think these were hand picked by Emily and Amy themselves. Nice work, Girls!
Love the new songs - I usually hate it when bands add new songs to greatest hits albums, but the last two tracks on Retrospective are great. (I know it s not technically a greatest hits album, but these are undoubtedly some of their better known songs.) If anyone s on the fence about buying this album because of the new songs, I would highly recommend it... they are right up there with the classics.
What a joyful piece of music! - Though I like the Indigo Girls this was the first piece of their music I actually purchased. I LOVE IT!This collection is such a nice compilation. There is a fine mixture of music - what is standard throughout is their perfect harmony....and those sometimes haunting, sometimes poignant lyrics.A great purchase that I will make good use of!Buy it - you won t be sorry!
The best of The Indio Girls - I am not a huge fan of the Indigo Girls but I certainly do like a lot of their songs. I remember listening to their songs in the car whenever I was with my brother as a teenager. He would often throw in the duo s first album Indigo Girls. I always loved listening to their song Closer to Fine and I still do to this very day. OTher favorite songs includes songs from their album Rites of Passage. That was a main staple of mine during my freshman year in college. Since I am more of a casual fan, Retrospective is perfect for me. The album consists of all of my personal favorite Indigo Girls songs. It is good road music to listen to during the summer.
Indigo Girls - Great Introduction To What These Girls Are All About - Retrospective is a compilation disc from the Indigo Girls that cover their 7 studio albums up through the year 2000. It features 16 tracks with two previously unreleased. The album is a really nice representation of what the Girls are all about and contains some great songs. The tracks are presented in chronological order as the band expands over time with forays into harder rock at times while never abandoning their folk rock roots. The fact that the Indigo Girls career has continued at such a high level with virtually no airplay or publicity is a testament to the talent that they posses. There are lots of great songs here including Galileo, Three Hits, Get Out The Map Least Complicated, Strange Fire, Closer To Fine and Kid Fears. Really every song is good and the two new songs fit right in as well. If you like well done folk rock with great vocal harmonies you can t do much better than the Indigo Girls. This retrospective would serve as a fine introduction to what they do.
