Not to be confused with the punk-pop supergroup led by Rancid's Tim Armstrong and blink-182's Travis Barker, these Transplants were among the first punk bands in the eventual punk stronghold of Boston. Overshadowed in their heyday first by the garage pop leanings of the Real Kids and Jeff Connolly's DMZ, and then by the twisted art-punk of the Girls and Mission of Burma, the Transplants were never really a first-string band, and they were all but unknown outside of the Highway 128 corridor. This 27-track compilation of live and studio tracks, with some rehearsals and demos thrown in, is both exhaustive and rather exhausting. Four takes on the band's signature song, the nothing-special thrash of "Suicidal Tendencies," is three too many. On the other hand, the band did have a good line in '60s garage covers, with versions of the Starfires' "I Never Loved Her" and the Sonics' "Strychnine" (a Boston punk classic tackled by seemingly everyone eventually) standing head and shoulders above the band's derivative originals. Boston rock historians and nostalgists will enjoy this collection, but it's a bit much for anyone else.
