Comments

The first disc is an audio CD of greatest hits from their first four albums. Aside from the odd running order, this is pretty good, and it's nice to be able to hear some of the tracks from 100th Window again. The additional new track, "Live With Me" is pretty groovy.

The second disc is an odd hybrid flipper with an audio CD printed on one side and an updated version of Eleven Promos on the other. Your mileage will vary quite a lot whether a particular system will play the audio side due to it not being a standard audio CD and therefore likely to confuse most players. The rarities and B sides it contains are all right but again not what I'd call their greatest hits. The DVD layer is better but ultimately renders getting Eleven Promos pointless!

The packaging is flashy, but makes it extremely difficult to get the discs out without getting fingerprints on the read surface of the discs!

In summary: great material, poor presentation.
