Now, ask yourself, who would buy
something like this? A casual fan? Nope. Especially since it came out
only a couple of months after A Bigger Bang,
their first new studio album in eight years. No, the only people who
would buy this would be hardcore fans. Any hardcore fan loves a cd of
rareties, even if they're subpar, a diehard has to have just about
everything. Had this really been real rareties, even if they weren't
that good, it would have been justifiable.
Sadly, most of what's here is on other releases out there, or flat out
unnecessary. This is chocked full of live versions that we've heard
before, a few irrelevant dance mixes of hit songs, and just a few real
rareties (maybe about four). Considering the history of this band, they
could have given us so much more. Not since Sucking in the 70s have we had such a stupid
compilation. Some good songs scattered about, though.
