Excluding remixes and re-recordings from the ratings, this compilation is a bit of a mixed bag. Made up of unused B sides, there are some songs here that absolutely deserved to be on a main album, and they really shine. Having said that, there are also a lot of mediocre, forgettable tracks here. Additionally, because it's a compilation, there's no cohesion in the track list, which is to be kind of expected really. Overall, arguably some of The Killer's best songs are on this in my opinion, and they manage to make up for the shortcomings in the lesser tracks.
