Album Review
The Bonzo Dog Band's comedic styling worked for two reasons: one is that all seven bandmembers were superb musicians, two is that they knew what was funny and when humor could be best implemented. This compilation of The Bonzo Dog Band's work (taken from the band's eight-album catalog) is an amazingly enjoyable album, despite the huge number of different styles that the band experiments with. Indeed, considering the diversity of The Bonzo Dog Band, The Best of the Bonzo Dog Band makes for a surprisingly consistent listen. The track list is superbly chosen, with only a few exclusions that could have bettered this release. Overall, however, the album is a fine portrait of not only the band themselves, but also the whole comedy genre. The Best of the Bonzo Dog Band really proves why the Bonzos are often hailed as the finest comedy outfit ever. ~ Ben Davies, All Music Guide
