When they are on, Cheech and Chong fill a glass with the absurd and toss in a twist of mordant wit. In a sketch familiar to many, Cheech has this to say about Santa Claus: "Everywhere he went he ran into too much recession, man." Chong points out, "No, man, you mean he ran into too much repression, man." "Recession, repression, man... It's all the same thing, man," Cheech responds. Their style is relentlessly repetitious and off-the-cuff, affording them ample opportunity for casual and delicious sarcasm by which the listener is taken completely off-guard. Even the album's title embodies the pith of this album; like their sketches, it points out the obvious in a way that is rarely done--in their patented, stoner-speak style. Cheech and Chong have long been a near ubiquitous presence because practically all potheads--current or reformed--have encountered their movies and records. While the size of this collection makes listening to the whole thing at one sitting a bit of a chore, the intent seems to be to make the whole catalog available to fans, and at least parts of it are sure to appeal to both practical and metaphorical "smokers." --Mark Huntsman

Hey, man, you got 50 cents? July 14, 2005

This is just about the perfect Cheech & Chong compilation. All their most popular routines are here, along with a few rarities. They wisely included about half the tracks from their classic first four albums, while including less material from their weaker later albums. It should satisfy most long time Cheech & Chong fans.

My Gawd! Listening to these classic C&C tracks again after so many years away from them really creates some good feelings for me!! I grew up with this weirdness, so it's a patented part of my more impressionable teenage years ...
If there's only one Cheech and Chong release you'd like for yourself, this is it!
As Hunter S. Thompson (RIP) once said, "Trust me - I know these things!"
It's all here ... and Highly Recommended.

Cheech & Chong's drug oriented humor found a large & loyal audience in the early 1970's-Now,the good folks at Rhino Records have seen fit to include all their classic routines on a double CD package-These guys were true originals & the fact that they did all the character voices themselves is truly impressive-My favorite cuts are "Sister Mary Elephant","Basketball Jones" featuring Tyrone Shoelaces,"Earache My Eye", & "Framed"-Also included is a fantastic booklet written by noted novelty record expert Barry Hansen,who's better known as Dr.Demento-Too bad this collection doesn't contain a huge wad of rolling papers (Note:rolling papers were found inside C&C's second album,"Big Bambu" in 1972)-Anyway,if you have fond memories of Cheech & Chong or are just discovering them for the first time,you've got to buy this set-As they said way back when:"It's far out,man".
