    Great thing for fans, but it could be much better. I'd reduce the number of tracks recorded on CD to 20. Lack of second guitar is audible. Not bad, but not very good.

    They've written material that holds up through the looking glass of time, and Bestival is ultimately a testament to a band running through the hits with some level of gusto and verve, making them seem fresh and exciting so many years removed from their gestation.

    Despite being together for more than 35 years, their sound is tight and refined without sounding tired.

    The album should serve as both a challenge to younger bands to up their live game and a particularly dynamic treat for fans.
