Reviews - What do customers think about The Best of Plumb?
Yes, this CD is redundant, but great! Feb 24, 2006
As numerous reviewers have noted, this CD was released after only two (two amazing) albums by Plumb. The official word as I understand it is this: The contract Plumb had with the label stipulated 3 albums. This release satisfied that requirement. While I'd recommend that you obtain the original two discs, you certainly wouldn't be doing badly to get this one if you don't plan to do that. This is one of my favorite groups. If you even listen to the clips you should see why that's true. The albums released after this have been great in their own right, just a little mellower.
Proof that categories are just a name Oct 9, 2005
I think I have an advantage by starting with this CD. Long time fans seem taken back by this, stating whether Plumb should've opted for a 'Greatest Hits' collection so early in their career. The only reason I was introduced to Plumb was because of their song on the Brokedown Palace soundtrack, Damaged. So with me starting with this CD I get the opportunity to see the highlights these young guns have had in their short time. One thing that did kind of make me wary of buying this, and the only thing at that, was the fact that they sing Christian music. I don't like to be preached to when I listen to music, I like to be entertained. And, sadly, Christian music has a tendency to preach. Plumb, however, doesn't fit into that mold. If you wouldn't read any reviews for this CD, you wouldn't ever gather that they were a religious band.
We start this disc with the insanely catchy Here With Me. This song really baffles me. I can't understand why mainstream radio didn't completely grasp this. To the casual ear it's merely a cry to an old flame. This kind of song is popular right now. Radio's loss I suppose. Sobering is another track that sounds fit for normal radio play. Very catchy and an extremely upbeat vibe to it. Late Great Planet Earth surprised me. Knowing this is the band that made Damaged, I didn't expect to ever hear anything like this from them. This is an outright rock track with catchy guitar parts and a wonderful chorus that you'll never forget. Who Am I? is the next track. A worthy follow-up to such a juggernaut track. Great lyrics mixed with a beat that follows the vocals so nicely is always a winning combination. Now we move to the song that made me want this CD, Damaged. I think this is the dreamiest track this disc offers. The vocals are perfectly distorted to sound like Tiffany is singing into a tunnel. The music is so complex that you'll be listening to it over and over trying to take in everything it has to offer. God-Shaped Hole is the only outright Christian song on here. But even this song is presented in such a way that it doesn't bring down the listen. It's a very nice track and is worth being included. Pennyless is the last real track in this collection. It's a nice song that shows the listener just how amazing Tiffany's voice is. The only drawback is that it's so short, weighing in at only 3:01. The remixes close out the CD. They're all equally good, I'm just not one for remixes. I find they take away from the experience. These are some of the better ones I've heard though. So, a nice inclusion.
Overall, a few of my favorite songs on here are Here With Me, Late Great Planet Earth, Who Am I?, Damaged, God-Shaped Hole and Pennyless. I almost didn't buy this CD simply because of the way Plumb are categorized. Although I still don't like the genre, this is one band I will follow from here on.

Hi, the review that mentioned that this girl wrote that great Mandy Moore song really interested me into listening to all the snippets on here and I liked them. Plumb kind of sounds like the best of Jewel/Dido and Garbage combined, but I am unsure whether to get it or not. The last mixed/christian cd I got was Stacie Orrico, and I ended up only relating to the "seccular" -if that's what they call it - songs. ?
Did I miss something? Oct 21, 2002
This has to be one of the stupidest ideas to have come to fruition lately. A greatest hits for a band that has done all of....TWO albums! First off, Plumb is a great band (see my review of CANDYCOATEDWATERDROPS) but they do not deserve a greatest hits. It's a shame because I would like to be able to say that the 'Christian' music industry is less concerned with making dinero than their secular counterparts. Unfortunately, projects like this show that to be untrue. After all, if people will dish out the money...the joke's on you music buyer. Two stars because some of the music is good, but who wants FOUR remixes? Jeez. What a joke.
Outstanding! Aug 18, 2002
Plumb really appealed to me because their music is a mixture of rock and christian. Tiffany Arbuckle's voice is beautiful and she sings with such grace and emotion. It is difficult to choose a favorite track on here because all of them are excellent. I'd highly recommend this album. It's a great variety of cool music! You have to love Stranded, Concrete, and Damaged.
