I bought this album because I loved 'You and Me Song'(if it was up to me I would not have used a drum machine in the verses, but I guess it increases the contrast to the exploding chorus..) Now I love the album so much I regret buying a compilation album as I will now have to obtain the original albums for the missing songs! I found the first two songs a bit too stylistically different from the rest, maybe they were from an earlier period? Appealing melodies, rhythmically and production quality spot-on tight. Gorgeous sonic textures of guitar, synth, brass and voices. Intriguing and beautiful overlays of e.g. bass and brass. Crisp (real) drumming, no drum machines apart from that mentioned above. Even the lyrics when I got around to them were a perfect balance between cute and profound. As a final recommendation of this record, I consciously used the technique described in 'You and Me Song' to successfully improve my relationship with my on and off girlfriend...thanks Wannadies!

a great all around album. although it is a compilation from three albums only available as imports, it has a good album vibe to it. poppy, yet thoughtful melodies, interesting song structures, and great sounds. if you follow pop, kiwi, or brit-pop a definite must have. the first few hooky songs will grab you and not let go. i've had this album for 2 years, and it's still being played now and again. -gb

Not a bad album, not bad at all. In fact, pretty damn good. Although not "Hit"-style, their songs are consistently good all around and don't suck. If you have some extra cash, spend it. That's what it's for.

indie rock at it's best!!!! recommened it to everyone
