Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!, October 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection (Jewl) (Audio CD)

Sadly yet ANOTHER [stinky] compilation that LOOKS like it could be good. Of course - just like "best o' boingo" most of the songs are lifted from the "BOINGO ALIVE" album - so - those of you hoping for the original EP version of "Violent Love" will be sorely disappointed when you realize it's the live version.

Skip this piece of [junk]!

As MCA continues it's "Millenium" series,a collection of sub-standard,best of,retreads. Suddenly they loooove Oingo Boingo again. This collection is so [bad] and obvious,it totally sweeps over some of their best known works,as well as fan faves! No "Sweat"? Where is "No Spill Blood"? No sign of "Nothing Bad Ever Happens"? Even "Gratitude" gets left in the dust.Not even a semi-rare bone,like the studio version of "Goodbye Goodbye"? At the very least,you would think,they would've collected the singles,or the title cuts:"Good For Your Soul",anybody? If you want to sample the glory that Is/Was/Will Be: Oingo Boingo....buy the "Anthology" release. It's time to tell MCA they've released too many "Not-So-Best-Of" packages.If they want to lure hardcore Boingoloids,release the unreleased tracks. Until then,don't call us...

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection (Jewl) (Audio CD)

These budget-priced alleged best-of CDs are motivated by pure greed - if you're really a true fan, why would you buy this? You already have all these songs already. The label KNOWS this, so they cynically try to FOOL the fans by stating that "VIOLENT LOVE" - long an early fan favorite from OB's early 10" EP that's long OOP - is included here on this CD - buy after buying it, you'll feel the burn when you discover to your horror that it's the inferior "live" version - what is the POINT? MONEY. Plain and simple. A waste.
