Critic Reviews
The complete picture of a great band that simply marked its time.
Snap it as soon as possible!
This compilation is just bangers after bangers of some amazingly catchy power pop songs. The riffs here are addicting as hell, the vocals have a unique rough edge to them reminiscent of many iconic post-punk vocalists, and it’s just a lot of fun! I feel like it’s one of those albums I can play for the hell of it and enjoy every bit of it.
Only now I’ve realised that I’ve had ‘compact’ snap on CD that misses off quite a few tracks.
This was bought for me when I got my first cd player so there’s a lot of love here.
Only downside is that for some reason they put the demo version of That’s Entertainment on the disc instead of the infinitely better album version with the bass.
Favourite songs: Pretty much all of them but especially When You’re Young
