Producer: Michael Bienhorn; Jeff James (Compilation) Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: This budget-priced collection of Super Hits from Soul Asylum pales in comparison to 2000's Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum, but fans just looking for "Runaway Train" and "Somebody to Shove" will find eight more songs that dutifully represent the band at its creative and commercial peak. ~ James Christopher Monger
The members of Minneapolis-based Soul Asylum started playing together in the early 1980s, their first album seeing the light of day in '84. Their punk-inspired sound was hard-edged, but full of inventive melodic ideas and unusual song structures. Led by in-your-face frontman Dave Pirner, the hard-working band eventually broke through to the mainstream with their 1993 hit "Runaway Train." The band went on hiatus after 1998's CANDY FROM A STRANGER, with Pirner releasing a solo album, but they began performing together again in 2002.
