Amazon (dot) com review. . .
All tracks have been remastered and brought up to today's ear bleeding industry standards.
Compilation of early limited edition 7" singles appearing on CD for the first time. Frontman
Gerald Collier went on to a lengthy, acclaimed solo career. Best Kissers in the World were a
beloved early 90's Seattle quartet. Frontman Gerald Collier possesses one of the great rock voices
of the era with a mind for witty and irreverent lyrics. Combine these with the band's expert
power-pop riffs and hooks and it's clear why their multitude of diehard fans put them in the
lineage of artists such as The Replacements, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick. Skinned My Heart, Broke
My Knee is an 11 song compilation made up of the band's classic, out-of-print Sub Pop EP and their
early 7 inch singles (which are seeing life on CD for the first time.) Tracks such as "Working on
Donita," "Slightly Used," and "Broke My Knee" are anthemic rockers. "Hungover Together", a duet
with Hammerbox's Carrie Akre, is a fine, lived-in country ballad (The Supersuckers would later
record a version with Kelley Deal of the Breeders.) A killer version of Tommy Roe's bubblegum
classic "Sweet Pea" closes out the album. Though they never achieved breakout success during their
time, groups like Weezer and Blink-182 would later take a similar musical template and spin it
into gold. With a revived interest in 90's alternative rock in full swing, Best Kissers in the
World's cult continues to grow.
Ripper's Notes:
Blink-182? Who writes this shit? They sound NOTHING like Blink-182. The Replacements is not a
bad comparison though.
Tracks 3-7 are mono versions from the original miss-mastered version of the debut Sub-Pop EP.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
