It’s a perfect greatest hits set – all the songs you recognise, without any of those pesky numbers that never made it to radio.

I am baffled that this is still an affordable vinyl release, as it should be worth 2x3 times the going rate here today. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Al tocar esta compilaciòn en el primer track del lado A, noté una compresiòn exagerada, bajos altos y produce saturaciòn en algunos temas. Over the course of a full album the Foos can drag – 1997’s The Colour and the Shape may be the exception – but here the four-piece never allow attentions or affections to wander.
