A Good Collection of Songs, May 2, 2001
Reviewer: Brian A. Wolters (Cabot, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Back in the 80's, I heard my first Stranglers song SKIN DEEP on MTV. The song stuck with me, but I never did pursue getting a Stranglers album.
Finally, I picked up their greatest hits album. I went to SKIN DEEP first and once again enjoyed this song. However, I was impressed with the rest of the songs on this album. The first 4 songs have a definite 70's punk sound to them, almost like early XTC. The rest of the album transitions into a more modern rock sound that never looses its luster.
Every song on this album is unique and very memorable. WALK ON BY has a long, 70's style keyboard solo that seems to go on forever (and that's a good thing.) The song GOLDEN BROWN slows down into a post punk pop sound. And their cover of ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT is simply awesome.
If you are looking to discover some "new" music or even have a causal interest in The Stranglers, this is the album to get.

good but lacking some great songs, July 5, 2003
Reviewer: Yumi "Yumi" (LA CA USA) - See all my reviews
I love The Stranglers and basically these are not thier greatest songs, altho this is the only one I was able to find "Always the Sun".
This album is missing Dead Los Angeles, Baroque Bordello, Ugly, Don't Bring Harry, The Man They Love to Hate, Nuclear Device, and more! They were such a great band and this is not their greatest. you dont get a taste of their great sense of humor as in the song Ugly.
You basically have to get The Raven, Rattus Norvegicus, La Folie, and Aural Sculptures to get the best of the Stranglers. This is a drag because altho I have all the cassetes including Black and White, the tape is starting to stretch, so now I have to get them on CD's. show less
