"One of the better comeback albums form the decade, the sheer crazyness of some of the tracks makes this worth a listen. Watt and Hurley are still one of the greatest rhythm sections in all of rock."  Reply

"There is nothing more disappointing than seeing a major artist so drunk on stage that they ruin a show. I totally get Coconut's comment.

"This is a B-sides album where there is good reason for the songs being B-sides. Not many good tracks to speak of here. Best tracks: Sam's Town (Abbey Road Version), The Ballad Of Michael Valentine, Tranquilize, and their cover of Romeo and Juliet."  Reply

"So many people have panned this album. Most of the negative reviews refer to a certain laziness, as if NCATBS were simply dusting off some old, rejected, songs and churning them out in order to get an album out. And, to be fair to the reviewers, it's nowhere near the Bad Seeds' best efforts. But ..."  [+]  Reply
