"At the height of the disco era, this gem came out. "Cruel" is the legitimate (only) hit, but the rest of the album is just as good. Has not lost a thing in the time its been out."  Reply

"Another fine Best Of. Their earlier albums aren'ttrong, and not always easy to find. Much better than the Greatest Hits that came out later...this one has most of the Guess Who you'll ever need. And Burton Cummings has a GREAT rock & roll voice!"  Reply

"I think the great thing about this album is the way they captured a specific global sentiment of what Hispanic/Latino culture had in common. It is in a way a concept album."  Reply

"So it's been about a year since my first comment, and I have to say that my appreciation for this album just kept growing stronger to the point that I now have it in my top 20 and as the top rated yugoslavian album (I think at the time of my first entry it just gained the chart entry at the last ..."  [+]  Reply

"I had all but forgotten about Soulwax before discovering they’d released a new album this year, and while it’s unmistakably them, they’ve definitely evolved their style since 2005’s Nite Versions. Recorded in one take (does that make it a live album?), From Deewee is a smooth and seamless ride."  [+]  Reply
