As the very first compilation of
Five for Fighting
's new millennium soft rock,
Playlist
does its job well, rounding up all but one of
John Ondrasik
's charting
Billboard
singles --
"Superman (It's Not Easy),"
"Easy Tonight,"
"100 Years,"
"The Devil in the Wishing Well,"
"If God Made You,"
"The Riddle,"
"World,"
"Chances,"
the only missing culprit being
"Silent Night"
-- in a tight 14-track collection that will serve the needs of all casual fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
