I have always been indifferent to this group, finding Kelly's gravelly vocals more of a nuisance than something to get into and enjoy, yet they have managed to carve some decent tunes in their career. This best of gathers their biggest hits. Who are they: A Welsh rock group, who have had album and single success in the UK. On this album: The best track is the opener, 'Dakota' is as exciting as they ever got. A superb guitar hook and a chorus which just blows you away with the amount of energy behind it. Kelly's vocals are on top form and the verses here are possibly better than the chorus, one of those tracks which succeeds in ...  Read the complete review

Firstly let me start by saying that this has got to be the most anticipated Greatest Hits album ever! And boy is it great! My Fiance brought me this as one of my Christmas presents and below you will find my personal review of each of the 20 (yes, 20!) tracks. Dakota - This is a very fast paced guitar song which is quite a reminiscent song talking about lying around in summertime and the feelings of being in love. The Bartender And The Thief - Quite an old song but yet again a classic (aren't they all!). Just Looking - The guitar on this song is absolutely fantastic, the song talks about just looking at various things and not ...  Read the complete review

OK - I am a hardcore Stereophonics fan, I thought it was best to get that out of the way before I start with this. But this is a very honest review. So you may be a little surprised at what's to follow... I've only just aquired this particular album. It was given to me as a gift. I wouldn't have bought it for myself. I have all the previous albums so I really don't see the point in spending money on the Greatest Hits too. However, that said, it is handy having all the hits on the same CD, particularly if you want to listen to them whilst driving... Unfortunately, when it comes to the tracklisting, it could have been better for me personally - I do ...  Read the complete review

Stereophonics are a welsh rock group who have been going for a number of years now and who have released a number of studio albums before, so I think it was time that they did release their greatest hits, titled decade in the sun. I think the title in its self sums up how they think about their career in music, its been very well for them and they have had some great hit singles. They haven't always been a band that iv rushed out to buy their albums in the past but when I saw this one came out I got it pretty much straight away, I remember thinking before I looked at the album what songs have they done again, I looked at the back and recognised a few and ...  Read the complete review

For 10 years now the stereophonics have been churning out quality tracks, and this album combines them all into one album brilliantly. From the early stuff including "traffic" and "a thousand trees" to the new tracks including "your my star", it's a fantastic album. All 20 tracks are great to listen along to and the hits come thick and fast. The album opens up with thier number one song "Dakota" which sets the tone and standard for this album. As with every greatest hits album there will always be one or two that you think the band have missed off but this one is different and i cant think of any that should ...  Read the complete review
