This album consists of two singles, b-sides, rarities, covers and remixes recorded between 2002 and 2007. Most are from the Hot Fuss and Sam's
Town sessions. We have 2 decent covers in Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town and Romeo & Juliet where Brandon does a damn good Mark Knopfler. The two remakes of their own songs completely fail for me with the dance flavored remix of a 10 minute Mr. Brightside making me wonder if I even want this album. But then I have the 1 love track making it all worthwhile, Lou Reed showing up on the leadoff track Tranquilize. Wondering if this is the last recorded work of Mr. Reed. His voice is actually terrible on this but he never could sing anyway. Just good to hear him again. Fine, I guess I'll keep the album.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Mr. Brightside
