Studio LIVE
So you like Oingo Boingo? Like live albums but wish the sound was studio quality? Here is your album! It is the best Boingo album IMHO. Little treat to yourself, record your own "dead man party mix" with return of deadman deadmans party and return of deadman 2, 8 minuts of weeeeee!
The real Best of Oingo Boingo!
This album is weird in that the songs are done live but are better than the original album versions. These guys are so tight! How can they play such complex music better live than in the studio! But check this out, the spirit, the enthusiasm is far above their studio efforts. It's actually one of my favorites of all time, and it has lasting power, unlike so many of my CD's. Bands come and go, but the original and unique (crazy?) Danny Elfman sound is not held to any time period. Check out Cinderalla Undercover, it's not on any other CD and is definitely OB's best song of all time! "Cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm, are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms!" LOL! You can see the Elfman that went on to such fame writing themes for the Simpsons, Batman, and other Tim Burton movies!
Also Consider THE CRAZY 8's!
I'm a big fan of Oingo Boingo, and I really like this album. However, I just realized that another favorite band, The CRAZY 8'S (now defunct) would be popular with Boingers. If you like OINGO BOINGO and FISHBONE, you'll LOVE The Crazy 8's! (...especially "Big Live Nut Pack!")
Long Time Fan
It's ashame seeing people on here put down this album. I actually went to this concert back in 88 and it was the first live show I'd ever seen. My parents made me go and it was one of the best decisions they ever made, in terms of exposing me to the world. I've been a huge fan ever since and I still own all their tapes, LOL, to this day. This CD is a great compilation of Oingo Boingo's tracks and I've enjoyed it for years. Even if u have some other CD's, I still recommend this one to wrap up all their tracks in 2 great CD's.
Thank you Oingo Boingo...
for making one of my favorite CDs of all time. This is one of those albums that has consistently and routinely made it's way into my CD players for nearly 15 years now. There's not too many albums that I can say that about, and this is absolutely a fantastic CD -- not one single bad track on here. It's criminal that more people don't own these albums. Are you a criminal? No? Okay, then pay your debt to society and pony up for some of the best music you'll ever hear. You won't be disappointed!
