This album seems a long time coming. Some of the songs on there are about 4 years old (Pretty Green Eyes) but they, along with the the newer tracks make this a fine dance album. The inclusion of the older tracks can be forgiven, because of the memories they stir and the fact that they are still good tunes, but for the price, id rather have had an album of new songs. With a length of 49 minutes, it holds 14 songs in total, 15 if you include the intro, with at least 5 of them being previously released tracks. The cover songs are good also, the best in my opinion being track 8 - I'm Not In Love. Chances are, you will find yourself singing along with this album, but in all honestly i did find it started to all sound a little samey towards the end. The intro is unnecisary, and i think it was included to make up for the lack of released material, and original recordings. The inlay booklet on the inside of the cover, compared to most other artists, holds very little information. Unless you want to know writer and publisher credits, I wouldnt waste time looking at it. Also, the lack of artist information it holds, makes it look cheap, and rushed. The album name isnt the most original either. But if you are a fan of their older stuff, or like your dance music in general, id recomend this, it has enough tracks to listen to while getting ready for that big night out, but it isnt one id recomend to just sit down and listen too otherwise.
