lots of hits live stuff is poor
Clumsy - Our Lady Peace
Great Alt rock not one of the bands best albums
Gravity - Our Lady Peace
There are a couple of good songs and promise for others . . . Just too many bland tracks to be a good album; repetitive and altogether dull
Naveed - Our Lady Peace
Some momments of pure genius Lacks the strenght of the bands later out put
Healthy In Paranoid Times - Our Lady Peace
Some brilliant tracks Somecomplete dirge, not enough real raw OLP sound of old
A Decade - Our Lady Peace
Some great songs not a reflection of the bands greatest songs
The Lexicon Of Love - ABC
Strong songs, strong production A little dated now
I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris/shame Is The Name - Morrissey
Melodic, poignant lyrics, catchy It would be nice if both b-sides were on one disc, rather than two seperate discs
One World - John Martyn
Folk Rock - 2004
Years Of Refusal - Morrissey
Wonderfully thought provoking, humerous and musically excellent,with various different elements used Inclusion of two previously released tracks, which is a small gripe
