Platinum & Gold Collection专辑介绍
BMGs Platinum & Gold Collection gathers up 12 of Sweets tunes and lays them down in chronological order, taking three tracks from Girlfriend, two from the follow-up, Altered Beast, three from his most commercially successful album, 100% Fun, two from Blue Sky on Mars, and one from In Reverse.
Sweets best (and best-known) songs are here ("Girlfriend," "Ive Been Waiting," "The Ugly Truth," and "Sick of Myself") as well as some less likely tracks that werent found on 2000s Time Capsule: The Best of Matthew Sweet. "Falling" is one of those songs and it is one of the many hidden gems lurking on each of Sweets albums. A minor-chord, Neil Young-inspired ballad, it features a spiraling, often breathtaking guitar solo running throughout and one of Sweets most heartfelt vocals. Platinum & Gold also picks up the track "Superdeformed" from 1993s No Alternative collection, and while it is nice to have a semi-rarity present it is not one of Sweets best songs, coming off a little too grunge-influenced and melodically weak. Perhaps it would have been better to add another track from the underrated In Reverse album, one of the shorter songs to complement the very epic
"Thunderstorm," which is included.
One could argue song selection or worry about omissions, but in the end this is a fairly representative collection that does a good job summing up Sweets career so far -- not as good a job as Time Capsule, but it sells for less. If you are undecided about which to get, perhaps the cover photo will sway you. Time Capsule has an amazing shot of Girlfriend cover girl Tuesday Weld, while Platinum & Gold has a nondescript close-up of Sweet in sunglasses. - Tim Sendra
