Chris T-T - Best Of

19/04/17

If this wasn't a best of full of songs released previously, this would be a ten or even eleven out of ten. T-T has released ten albums chock-full of clever, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking and thought-provoking songs and this features 39 of the best. All you need to know really is that opener Dreaming of Injured Popstars is simply one of the best songs ever. Yes, really. This song is worth the price of the album alone. And the remaining songs aren't far behind. For those poor, benighted souls who have never heard T-T's work, there is a punky yet folky DIY aesthetic here. Whether it is with a shouty rocker or a ballad, T-T’s songs always have a wicked melodic sensibility and a furiously infectious chorus. But for the - possibly deliberate - career suicide of the cussing and swearing in the lyrics, T-T could, quite easily, be a household name. As it is, he is a treasure for the alternative nation. Anyway who loves their pop music to be erudite, genuine, political and morally sound should own this collection. Buy this, buy it now.
