Almost 15 years on from their debut, deliver their first , a 15-track (16 if the double dip on counts) retrospective covering their six albums from 1995 to 2007. isn't arranged chronologically, which isn't a detriment; if anything, skipping through the years emphasizes just how consistent have been, always delivering oversized rock & roll where the hooks are as big as the guitars. The only exceptions to the rule are the two lo-fi cuts and with qualifying as this comp's inexplicable omission ( all also didn't make the cut), plucked from their 1995 debut, where the band was only recording at home. Apart from this pair of tunes, this is all muscular, melodic modern rock, the kind that almost patented, and if their consistency has occasionally made their albums blend together, it does result in one strong hits collection. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
