Gomez Album: “Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline”

if only to hear buena vista alone, it is worth it to pick this album up. i would give it 5 stars, but i need to be realistic in that, sure, this album is meant for the fans in particular. the other reviewers who say they are "the hugest" fans and loved the first two albums but can't get a feel for this one... well, they really aren't such fans as they say, and that's all.

so obviously you need more reasons than just buena vista to buy this, cuz you're skeptical enough to be reading this. ok, then listen for waster, flavors, getting better, bring your lovin back here, touchin' up, and machismo.

and rosemary. simply amazing. the atmosphere that this song creates is simply astounding. each note sinks deep into your veins, and penetrates your senses.

so buy it.

What happened? Where's "Pick up the Pieces", "The Best In The Town",and the turbo version of "Whippin' Piccadilly", these are the real B-sides that Gomez fans need to hear (not two pointless versions of "Sh--bag"). Although, this disc isn't completely lost, "Buena Vista" and "Bring your Lovin' Back Here" are excellent tracks that truly exhibit SOME of Gomez's hidden treasures, but certainly not all of it. Gomez could have had it's third straight classic, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

i bought this cd after loving liquid skin and was not surprized that gomez had done it yet again. this cd has all the songs i wanted to hear. from "bring your lovin' back here" to "getting better" this cd is truely one for the fans. although i think 78 stone wobble is a better recording the one on the cd is still very good. also machismo, one of my favortie songs by gomez, is on the second cd. my favorite songs off the cd are "bring your lovin' back here" "buena vista" and "machismo" but i like every song on the cd. so there isn't one reason you shouldn't buy this cd, unless you don't have any money or don't have a cd player. but if you liked the other cd's then you'll love this one. so what are you waiting for? go buy it. NOW!

A great CD. it have a couple of versions of the other albums that are fantastics, like new songs. A group that continue giving original songs with a lot of skill. Of course that i recomended this CD, if you like the others buy this

I'm not quite sure Gomez has established themselves long enough to have a sort-of "lost songs" type of disc,but they put one out to tie us over.

Collections tend to be jagged and not very smooth, and this is no exception. There are a good number of hits, but a few misses as well. If you're not familiar with Gomez, get their first two discs. It'll give you a better understanding of their style than this thrown together album.
