Music snobs might look down their noses at Australian duo Savage Garden's prefab approach to commercial pop, but there is no arguing with the group's impressive record sales. Their 1997 self-titled debut spawned two massive international hits, the bouncy, infectious "I Want You" and the sugary electro-ballad "Truly Madly Deeply," pushing the album into multi-platinum status. "I Knew I Loved You," the first single from Savage Garden's sophomore release, also hit Number 1.
Naturally, these songs are included on TRULY MADLY COMPLETELY: THE BEST OF SAVAGE GARDEN, along with "To the Moon and Back" and the chugging identity manifesto "Affirmation." Throughout the set, Savage Garden's marriage of light club beats with breezy, memorable hooks sounds tight and accomplished, and for fans of Top 40 fare it is guaranteed to go down easy.
I would probably call purchasers of this album "Truly Completely Madly". Not really a fan of the Savage Gardeners, despite having quiet a green thumb. I wasn't aware that the boys had that many albums to choose from when making a best of collection.
I would rate this cd as one to only purchase if you are sure that you really like their music. Otherwise I believe that they need to keep off the grass.
If you were a fan of Savage Garden's songs, but never actually bought either of their albums, you should definitely grab this - you'll enjoy it more than you remember. Savage Garden were an incredible duo who made great music (Albeit for a relatively short period of time) and should be remembered in Australian pop history. Their songs scaled the charts internationally, and those songs are on this CD with a few others you may not have heard, so grab it, listen to it and enjoy it.
Savage Garden! Who doesn't love them? This best-of record combines all your faves from their records. The record has all the songs you hear on the radio every now and then and still know the words to! With the catchy tunes that you know and love, this record is sure to please. Awesome record!
