It's been a long time coming, but Skunk Anansie have released a CD with all of their greatest hits on, along with 3 *new* songs which are absolutely brilliant.
Some Greatest Hits CD's simply chuck together previously released material and sell bucket loads. The artist(s) have absolutely no new material and make absolutely no effort to make the CD in any way rememberable.
However, Skin and the lads have produced, in my opinion, a masterpiece as 8/10 of their best songs are on this one CD!
Also, with regards to the new material they've released, we have...
1) Tear the place up. 4/5. A return to their original form, full of teenage angst and screaming - whilst they have slightly modernised the guitar riffs, which brings the sound more up-to-date.
2) Because of you. 5/5. An absolute masterpiece! This song is nothing like what they've recorded before, full of drama, passion, tension and beauty. It merges both of their best sounds (anger vs. tender) to produce this fantastic piece of music. In my opinion, one of their finest pieces of work.
3) Squander. 5/5. A lovely slower piece of music, which can related a little bit to songs like 'infedelity'. After listening to it over one hundred times, it does not get boring. A lovely song.
If anyone appreciates Skunk Anansie, this CD is a must buy as it is simply brilliant. A true accolade to one of the best bands in the world for the past two decades.

It seems to be too easy to forget just how amazing Skunk Anansie are. I was a fan right back when the first album came out right up to their split. They were easilly one of the best live bands I've ever seen, and they have the rare talent to make songs that make you want to explode with pure rock god-ness, or crumble to the floor as if your hearts been plucked from your chest, Yet despite all these honest and true accolades, somehow it rarely occurs to me to play SA of my own accord. It takes a radio play, or maybe hearing a track on tv, or in this case, a greatest hits collection to make me stick them on and each time I do, I wonder just how come it's been so long since I played them.
This collection is packed with some of the most amazing rock songs from the late 90's - and if you've never heard them, man you're in for a treat. If you're an old fan like me, get ready for a flood of memories. The amount of times I've bounced around a rock club to this soundtrack....ahhhhh.
I'm always dubious about new tracks on GH compilations, but MAN! These track sound like SA never left. 'Tear the place up' does exactly that, it rocks - hard. Because of you drifts through perfectly well, and 'Squander' is absolutely the equal of classics like 'Hedonism' & 'Brazen (weep)' - it hit me so hard that I was almost in tears walking around the supermarket. And that my friends is the power of Skunk Anansie. To move you.
Welcome back Skunk Anansie, stick around for a beer, I've missed you.

I have been missing sa for so long and was excited to hear they were coming back, this was a perfect way of doing it, best of the actual classics and actually put together by the band rather than the label just throwing out a random cold cd of hits. The 3 new songs are fantastic too, true return of a band of who i saw live back in 1994 first time and then last year at london water rats where they didn't appear to have aged a week and were as tight as ever!! Bring on the new album next year and another tour. This album does exactly what it should do!! :) So glad skank heads appeared on here too. Sooooo good.
