Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A pink and glittering collection.......2004-07-20

"Shonen Knife - Millennium Edition" is a decent "Best of..." collection, featuring the hits of everyone's favorite Japanese bubblegum punk girls. All of the songs on here are tops, representing what makes Shonen Knife so unique and wonderful. No one else sings silly songs about food in quite the same way. "One Week" in particular is a fun song, detailing a week in the life of Shonen Knife.

The only drawback to this CD is that it contains only English-language songs, which may not be considered a drawback to everyone. However, some of Shonen Knife's best songs are in Japanese and any "Best of..." collection entirely in English is going to be incomplete.

Also, "All I Want For Christmas..." is a great tune, and I believe this CD is one of the few places you fan find it. The cover of The Monkey's "Daydream Believer" is also a lot of fun. Too bad they didn't include their Carpenter's cover as well.

4 out of 5 stars Good compilation CD.......2003-05-18

Millenium Edition is a good over view of what the girls from Osaka have been up to for a few albums priror to bassist Michie Nakatani retiring from the band. It is a bit spendy for the avaerage person looking to get into Shonen Knife, but for Shonen Knife fans and completists we are used to paying a large chunk of cash for their cd's. As an FYI cd's in Japan are about 2-3 times as spendy as cd's in the states. Basically for the music companies to have the same profit margin in a market half the size they need to charge twice as much. Thnaks to my linguist friend Doug for giving me the Q-T on that.
