5.0 out of 5 stars A best of that is BEST OF!!!, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Melancholy Collection (Audio CD)

Any true Millencolin probably has most of these songs and the other albums. In fact, The Melancholy collection is merely more than a Best Of collection. And this is exactly why you would buy the album. It gives you a great insight into Millencolins music PLUS most of the hits (excluding For Monkeys songs).. Da Strike, Shake me and The Israelites (actually a Desmond Dekker cover song) rock every Ska and MelodyCore party. If you love Ska with crunchy guitars and one or two punk songs every once in a while.. let this album introduce you to the greatness of Millencolin,, Sverige rulez!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Old School sounds all in one cd, July 29, 2006

All in all a very good buy for a true Millencolin fan. All of their old EPs are here in this one cd. You can't beat the convenience of simply buying one cd rather that trying to hunt down their old EP singles. Songs like "Pain," "Shake Me," and "Nose Picker" truely exemplify their old school sound before the new sounds in albums like "Kingwood" and "Home From Home." Don't expect these songs to sounds like their most recent releases. If you do, you will be disappointed. For the fans that enjoy Millencolin's older sorta ska sound, you will love this cd! If you are trying to collect all of the major Millencolin albums, this is a must buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just a lot of early stuff, April 17, 2002

Culled mostly from 1993's Use Your Nose, and 1994's Skauch, this is Millencolin at an early stage of development. Throw in some covers and unreleased stuff that dates up until 1997, and it served as an OK stopgap before Pennybridge Pioneers hit the market.

Some people prefer MC's earlier stuff, if you do then this is for you. Otherwise you might find it mostly boring and unimaginative. And what's with the atrocious cover of Every Breath You Take? Ugh!
