Description of All the Pain Money Can Buy:
On this second album, these rockers from Austin, Texas, demonstrate a flair for perfect mid-'60s pop epitomized by the Kinks and the early Who. The opening track, "The Way," was an early break-out hit for the trio, but the entire album offers similarly uptempo serenades. It's a surprising direction for a band known for its hard-rocking live sets, but an early clue of their fondness for romantic hokum came on their remake of Bacharach & David's "This Guy's in Love with You" from 1997's Lounge-A-Palooza tribute album. Some of these songs actually come off tougher live, but that doesn't detract from the simple pleasures of this record, which is smooth, smart, and moving. --Steve Appleford
All the Pain Money Can Buy Reviews:
I bought a Fastball album from Eureka_Starz. 
2009-07-06 - I was looking for a good deal on Fastball's "All the Pain Money Can Buy" album and found one with Eureka_Starz. Their product description hit the nail on the head for every category I was looking for: CD in good, playable shape; album art included and in good shape; and low price. Eureka_Starz delivered on all three of these promises - and they got it to me in two days, no joke! I placed my order on the 2nd of June and the affordable, playable CD with mint condition album art was in my mailbox on the 4th of June. Awesome job, Eureka_Starz!!
all the pain money can by (fastball) 
2007-02-15 - awsome. i had looked everywhere for this as they are no longer distibuted and you had a new one!!!! thank you.
The best of FASTBALL
2006-08-29 - This is the best album ever for Fastball. Wish the newer one is better but it wasn't.
Nice ear candy !!!!
2006-03-09 - In a world where most artists assume they have to produce noisy, discordant, and non-melodic fodder for the equally beguilled public these guys are a nice retreat.
Just plain good ole rock that you can play all the way thru without torturing yourself by trying to listen to it 10 times before "you get it" like some of the crud being passed off as art these days. (yes, I do hate emo and death/thrash metal)
This is the only album of theirs that I've listened to and looking forward to grabbing the rest of their work.
a really fun album
2006-02-14 - I was about 10 or 11 when this album came out and I was among the millions who loved the song "The Way". I bought the cd and, for a while, they were my favorite band. But years past and my musical tastes drifted toward the hardcore/ metal/ death metal spectrum. But, recently, I dug this old cd out and put it in, on a whim. I had forgotten what a great band Fastball was (and still is). This album is so different and so upbeat compared to what I now listen to that I am just constantly drawn to it. The songs are simple, yet really impressive. Tony and Miles have two really distinct, good voices and the music itself puts you into a good mood. I really like this album and I'm really glad to have unearthed it after all of this time.
