Why Try Harder (The Greatest Hits) - Fatboy Slim

Fatboy Slim aka Norman Cook has had a long and varied musical career. Starting off playing bass in The Housemartins, Cook has released under a number of pseudonyms (including Pizzaman, Freak Power and Beats International) before settling on his Fatboy alter ego. This greatest hits package showcases some of his best work of the Slim era. Featuring singles from all four Fatboy Slim album (Better Living Through Chemistry, You've Come A Long Way Baby, ...
...a fine collection. All the classics you'd expect to find are here: Rockafella Skank, Praise You, Weapon of Choice - in total there are 16 old favourites and 2 new tracks, Champion Sound and That Old Pair Of Jeans. While the newcomers aren't breaking any new ground, its nice to have something new to listen to. My only criticism is that this greatest hits album could have contained more. Maybe it should have been a Norman Cook greatest hits album, ...

But now unfortunatley to the negatives, the are songs on the album which are not the sort of songs you would want playing outloud when driving in your car, unless you ...

Review of Why Try Harder (The Greatest Hits) - Fatboy Slim

Put simply - this album is a must buy for any Fatboy slim fan. All the classic tracks are there and the wide range of songs on offer means that this CD should appeal to a wider audience too. Looking along the track listings most will be able to recognize at least a few titles with "Weapon of Choice", "Right Here Right Now" as well as the re-mixed version of Cornershop's "Brimful of Asha" all featuring. I wouldn't say every single on this album is ...

Review of Why Try Harder (The Greatest Hits) - Fatboy Slim

Fatboy Slim's new album includes all the fantastic summer classic's which we have all heard over the years. This is a great album for listening whilst taking your car for a blast down some country lanes on a beautiful summer day. My personal favorites include Praise you and Right here, Right now. Even if you aren't familiar to the song names you will know the songs. Personally I hadn't heard of about 5 songs but as soon as I heard the rhythm I knew ...
...couple of tracks such as 'Slash dot dash' and 'That old pair of Jeans'. Obviously this might not be the case for everyone. I would urge all Fatboy Slim or music fans in general to go out there now and purchase this great album. It truly is the sound of summer! ...
