Advantages: Tonnes of outstanding tracks Disadvantages: Their later stuff doesn't do it for me
...this two disc set contians all there punk hits (but is strangly missing Jonny Was?!?), the second disk contians their ska/blues/pop hits.
The first disk for me is by far the best and every song on it is great. Political lyrics with simple, fast chord progresions and some cracking slow solos thrown in makes for a great listen. Some people who are into mainstream pop with not be a fan of the vocials as the a bit flat but for me it works beautifully. ... ...is a slow ska song all about racism and how it's not an excuse.
There are a few live track riddled over the 2 disks but you'll bearly tell the difference. The only reason I know they're there is because (live) is written next to every track that is live.
This album is worth owning if your just getting into SLF or if some-one has recomended them to you. Also great for avid fans that want all there best hits all on the same album. ...

Advantages: Good old fashioned heavy / punk rock still belted out by the original and only SLF. Disadvantages: None - unless you consider being told off by your kids for the music being too loud as a problem.
...to my youth. All the good old songs are there from Alternative Ulster to Gotta Gettaway to Tin Soldier to Nobody's Hero. Of course they are all belted out in SLF's inimitable style and 'punk rock' is too poor a phrase to use to describe SLF. Their music and lyrics tear along at breakneck speed and of course their is the physical volume that these tracks deserve to be played at.
SLF's style shines through their "All the Best" with lyrics that intertwine ... ...punk energy and a method of getting their message across that SHOUTS honesty.
If you've never heard SLF, and even only remotely liked the Sex Pistols, et al, then SLF who were around in the late 70's and still going strong today will grab you by the throat and fuel a fanatsy of being young again. If only for an hour or two! Then once you know you like them, go out and find them live - www.slf.com - you won't regret it. ...
