7. Warts & All, Volume 3 

“My final cd in my vast moefest, and I do believe this is the best one of the whole bunch. Recorded on 11/13/98 in Chicago Il, this is solid from set one to the encore. In fact set one is just about the perfect moe. set, and sounded great sitting outside on a nice sunny day. If that wasn’t enough disc three has almost an hour of bonus tracks from 9/12/98. Despite all my praise some of the jams do seem to drag on a bit long, which is the only reason I didn’t rate this any higher. However if your looking to hear live moe. in action, then Warts & All Vol. 3 is a great introduction.”

6. No Doy 

“I actually just snagged this to get a few songs for my iPod mix, but it has played on and on. In fact I woke up this morning with “Saint Augustine” going through my head. Plus you get “32 Things”, “Bring You Down”, “Rebubula”, “Moth” etc. Great production also really brings this bands sound to life, reminding me of an Americanized Wishbone Ash with all those guitars coming at ya. Most certainly a keeper.”

5. What Happened To The La Las 

“The reason to get the deluxe version is that you really get two great albums for the price of one. The acoustic versions, although mellower gives a completely different feel to their plugged in versions of their songs. There is a great Livedownload concert of moe’s where they perform the entire show acoustic and the acoustic disc is very reminiscent of that performance.”

4. Wormwood 

“This is an interesting concept: all the rhythm playing is from live shows while all the remaining instrumentation and vocals are done in the studio. The songs are connected by various musical snippets, to varying degrees of success. The freewheeling style of the live moe. is reigned in a bit, but this still has a nice Sixties jam feel and beautiful playing throughout.”

3. Tin Cans And Car Tires 

“Arguably moe’s best venture into the studio, every single track is solid. I think its just up to the listener to decide which they like best. For me, the psychedelic background of Big World really gets me going. I also love Queen of the Rodeo, because it actually has a narrative and you can tell Al really loves this girl (who i believe turned out to be his wife). For me, it was a perfect intro to moe. Give it a listen!”

2. Dither 

“I like this record a lot for some of their classic material and others not so well known. It fits nicely between Tin Cans and Wormwood as an evolution of the band and has some great tunes not played live and some which have become fan favorites.”

1. No Guts, No Glory 

“Glory kicks off with a strong Chuck entry. Chuck is my favorite and I like to stand on his side with my jaw dropped for two and a half plus hours. I cherish his songwriting entries such as the timeless It. This is followed by strong efforts from Rob and Al, and then Rob takes off on Same Old Story (aka No Guts, No Glory) and lays down some mean raps. I mean after four tracks it’s clear how much more work went into making complete studio songs this time.”
