Advantages: Strong tracks towards the begnning of the album Disadvantages: Tails off towards the end, with a lot of similar tracks
...you it’s up with the best tracks on the album.
# 6-14
The rest of the album is more niche in its use of effects, as the tracks you will know are much more mainstream (which is obviously why you will have heard them in the first place). The rest of the album has a more dance-y / club feel and consequently, won’t please most people as much as the earlier tracks. If however, you are more knowledgeable about Groove Armada, and know you like their stuff, ... ...are looking to cheaply expand their collection. I would recommend a listen however, be it over at a friend’s house or in a shop such as Borders, before purchasing it, as it’s certainly not for everyone.
The Best of Groove Armada retails at about £9 and is out now. ...

Advantages: Great laid back groovy beats, consistently good tunes Disadvantages: long intros
...The album brings together the best known songs....
-Superstylin (great mood lifting dance anthem)
-At the River (you'll remember it as "If you're fond of sandunes")
-If Everybody looked the same
-I see you Baby (starting to annoy me now it's on the renault ad but a good tune all the same)
You might also know the summer feelgood classic "My friend" from the album goodbye country hello nightclub. The other tunes are certainly not fillers, most ... ...One of my favourite tracks "Easy" illustrates their only down point, their intros can be just a bit too long. Whilst the intro's do add an atmospheric build up, I often prefer the remixes which cut to the chase.
Overall, fantastic album which leaves you with a great summery feel, and not a bit of cheese in sight!
If you get a chance to see them in concert, go see. a great talent not to be missed! ...

Advantages: Comes with DVD Disadvantages: Its a best of
...album is of course a best of, needless to say it contains all GA's best and well known tracks(it really is a best of!) so GA fans will find all their fav tracks while anyone new to them will get a good all round feel for the armada and what they have been up to(shame ye missed em!)
Personally i like the idea they have behind this one, to wrap up their past with this best of and come back with new stuff-when??? but before doing that make a bit of ... ...annoyed as i have their previous albums and there not much new to this apart from DVD which is very good footage of GA. Existing fans may like this to round off their collection of GA with this while new fans will not only get to feel em out but also see these great performers in action. ...
