Personally, I could go on and on about the excellence of each track on this comprehensive release but to save time let me just suggest simply giving the anthology a listen. Each of the songs is just as emotionally fulfilling now as they were when they were originally released.
The collection offers the huge hits “Speak Like a Child, You’re the Best Thing, My Ever Changing Moods, Walls Come Tumbling Down, Shout to the Top and the eponymous title track, several with different approaches.Įven better the new release offers deep tracks like “Boy Who Cried Wolf, Ever Had it Blue and Man of Such Great Promise” and so many more tracks that evidence the brilliance of the band.
