It’s not very surprising that this release snuck past me. To be quite honest, Years Of Refusal didn’t excite me, I only downloaded Swords for the live stuff, and since then there have been a lot of re-issues, re-packages, and re-evaluating my spending habits.
This “very best of” compilation leaves me scratching my head. Sure, there are the expected (The more you ignore me, suedehead, TLOTFIP), but then there are some songs that are quite boring b-sides (moon river? the girl least likely to?) that should really be left for the completist.
If I were still the type to be spending money on cds, I feel that 2001′s BEST OF! would be a better representation of what songs truly are Moz’s best solo songs. I do realize that there are probably licensing issues, having put so many records out on different labels, but this “best of” makes me wonder who the fuck was actually picking the track listing.
Highlight of the compilation for me was “break up the family”
