This really takes me back to my memories of 80s MTV, when everyone had a really strong English accent in their vocals. As a compilation, this has some alternate and live tracks not found on the band's studio albums, and this being my first brush with Sad Lovers & Giants, I cannot help but be immediately infected by the jangly guitars and erratic yet melodic synths. They've got quite a bit of pep in their brooding facade.
7/10, because 8/10 or higher means I have to put it in my collection, and I don't like it enough to ever listen to it again.
