Album Review
Timbuk 3's farewell to I.R.S. Records was a compilation of material from its four studio albums for the label. Singles ("Life Is Hard," "Rev. Jack & His Roamin' Cadillac Church") and choice album tracks ("Big Shot in the Dark," Too Much Sex, Not Enough Affection") are brought together in a fairly logical manner, and I.R.S. even threw in a nice rarity with the hilariously mean-spirited blues march "A*****es on Parade," the B-side to "National Holiday." Though the band never got its due respect from the public, it crafted some of the wittier, more fully realized pop/rock of its time, so the "best-of" format doesn't do it full justice. Still, Field Guide is a good sampler, and if nothing else, it should show those who knew the band only from its 1986 hit "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" that Timbuk 3 was an outfit capable of depth, range, and occasionally even (despite the '80s-era rhythm machine that dates a few of the tracks) timelessness.

by D.T.B.For recording their first album off the edge of a bed in a hotel room, these guys made an impression~~~ future so bright~~~~ great stuff!!!
just another movie
by happyhappyjoyjoy!is a song that I like to pull up when we run the same old dog and pony show of another election year cycle. All the same lies just slightly repackaged, but do not worry, we now have chinese big screen tv's to keep the masses happy. In the endit is all irrelevant.
Mislabeled
by StupidConsumerUsually the folks at I-tunes get it right, but this is no country album. Clearly Folk Rock or alternative. Very good. I liked it.
