Good Points

The Last few tracks (i.e. the 'Mr. Brightside' remixes and Romeo and Juliet)

Bad Points

It's basically a load of singles and the like from previous albums, but the 'good stuff' is relatively new, methinks

General Comments

Apart from the aforementioned last tracks, this album seems like a waste of time. The tediosity of the lead singers' ability to constantly hit flat and sharp notes turn what sounds pretty good into an apalling track once the man opens his mouth.
Don't get me wrong, his voice suits some of their songs but it seems like they need to get another lead singer and use him only when the key fits his voice. In fact the only reason I have given this album 6 points is that the end is on a par with what they have produced before.
In conclusion then, probably only a worthwhile purchase only if you are a fan or have no sense of musical antiquity. Otherwise stick to the tried and tested method of downloading only what you personally find good.
