    So yadda yadda yadda, a best of isn't as worthwhile as a group's actual albums, what a shocker.

    The first disc is fine, containing most of the band's singles and a few key album tracks. The second is messier.

    It proves that with the same attention, wit, grace and intellect that these musicians gave to their songwriting, they can indeed construct a retrospective that not only reflects the brilliance of their band but heightens and intensifies it as well.
