It's a shame one of the greatest (funk) bands of all time doesn't get nearly the amount of attention they deserve. I first heard them in middle school from my brother and immediately liked them. Now that I've gotten a little older and enjoy music much more I realized it was a disservice not to own at least one album by The Meters. I remembered this was the album my bro had, and I loved it, so I had to buy it. Although there are a few not-so-good songs, there are many more fantastic songs throughout that more than make up for the others. Get ready to be funked! March 23, 2008

I have a modest CD collection of about 300 albums, but I can honestly say that I have played this set more than any other I own. There is nothing, anywhere, like the Meters. They are cool and funky, relaxed, funny, smooth, sexy, firey, bitter and sweet, and altogether perfect.

Though both discs are quite good, Disc 1 is immortal. The early Meters specialized in easygoing funk instrumentals that groove mightily without being overpowering. "Cissy Strut" in my opinion is the best, but it is hard to choose among so many great songs. "Chicken Strut" is the funniest rock recording I have ever heard.

Disc 2 is spottier, but "They All Ax'd For You" is one of the most charming songs ever written about New Orleans, and "Hey Pocky Way" and "Fiyo On the Bayou" have bass lines so wicked that they have been pillaged by just about every hip hop DJ on the planet.

This set is absolutely a can't -miss. May 18, 2006

Not Much to say here. Anyone interested in New Orleans Music, or Funk, will love this. It is just so Rich. October 10, 2005

Omitting historical details (there are plenty of those out there on the 'Net), this is simply: the best overall collection from one of the finest artists in the genre----pure, natural FUNK the way the Gods intended it to be! December 13, 2004

Unbelievable collection of songs, great funk music. I'll never get tired of these cd's. I highly recommend getting this as its much better than the single disc greatest hits, this really covers everything. The Meters are definitely one of the most influential funk acts, if you aren't into funk, you will be after hearing this. Wow. June 21, 2004
