Comment:

Volume 3 of a 3-disc set encapsulating the music of one of my all-time favorite bands. This volume covers the span from 1983's "Sparks in Outer Space" through their most recent release, last year's "Li'l Beethoven"

For further reading, please see Volume 1.

Even though they had their moments, it was hard to hang onto Sparks much past Pulling Rabbits. I cut them a lot of slack and enjoyed hearing new songs, but once the novelty of having new Mael stuff wore off I stopped returning to their later records. Which is why I surprised at howgood the last one was. Nice trilogy - you made a lot of different choices than I would have, but the songs are so damn strong you really can't go wrong.

Nice. I would have gone a little heavier on "Plagiarism," though. I especially like the remakes of "Change" and "When Do I Get To Sing My Way?".
