The singles are quite good, I don't think a single track that I really liked from the first few albums was missed. Everybody in the Place and Charly from Experience is a bit better but it's all around a really decent best of/singles album. The second disc in the limited edition CD set is more interesting though.

Razor is cool, bit between "why wasn't this on an album" and "its alright". Same with Back 2 Skool, also pretty decent and happy to hear them but wouldn't seek them out. Voodoo People (Pendulum remix) is THE remix, makes an already sick song even more so, this shit got me coughing for my life levels of sick, any slight flaws the original had aren't here and it just has more energy. Under My Wheels remix is ok, can't really understand why it exists as it just feels a bit worse off without the lyrics. No Man Army is pretty cool although I don't like one of the sirens used in it, just bugs me for whatever reason, the rest of it is pretty neat and it's hard to not think of the "you wouldn't steal a car" advert even though this isn't the actual song used and just (heavy) inspiration.

Molotov Bitch is the most average track ever, like not bad but like there is nothing much going on for 5 mins. I think some tracks that aren't really my cup of tea but do something are sometimes preferable to stuff that can only really exist in the background. Voodoo Beats cant beat voodoo but it does do something which is admirable. Audio Bullys' Out of Space isn't as good as the original but I do respect the lyrics referencing the original sample used. The Way It Is (live remix) other than the bits where Thriller is a bit more clear I can not tell what the difference is, still love it though. Ruffest is alright, pretty alright at points. Your Love is pretty alright, I do prefer the remix in Experience over this one but it's still a lovely song.

The live tracks are really neat, they aren't the craziest live tracks and it probably would have been cooler to have a sequence of tracks from the same show but I love the noises Maxim makes. A 81 for the singles and a 76 for the B-side
