The Only Ones
Amoeba Review
Tiffany Anders 09/07/2010
The Only Ones exploded onto the British punk scene with their memorable hit “Another Girl, Another Planet.” This compilation not only opens with their hit but also includes several of the group’s under-appreciated gems. Nearly every song on this release is as strong, if not stronger, than their hit, making it pleasantly surprising for those who are not familiar with the group’s other material. Songs like “City Of Fun,” “Lovers Of Today,” and “From Here To Eternity” have all the fervor and appeal of their hit while other tracks like “The Beast” and “The Whole Of Law” show that the band goes beyond three-chord pop. Special View comes highly recommended for those looking to get acquainted with the band and those looking for highlights of this brilliant pop punk group’s short career.
