"At the close of the '90s, had only released five albums, which may not seem like enough music to provide the foundation for a double-disc retrospective. But between 1981 and 1999, they released countless B-sides, non-LP singles, and EPs, resulting in a sprawling discography ripe for a compilation. So, in 1999, released the two-disc compilation , which covers every incarnation of the band from to . Inevitably, some well-known songs are missing -- only three cuts from are here, and their breakthrough single "Rock Hard" had to be pulled when refused permission for a sample. Ultimately, that doesn't matter, since the set captures the spirit of so well. Usually, compilations that don't follow chronological order are a little muddled, but benefits from its jumbled sequencing, since it emphasizes the band's astonishing musical reach and consistency. After all, every album since has followed a similarly unpredictable pattern, as the group moved from hip-hop to punk to funk to jazz. What's remarkable about is that it has all the obvious suspects, but since they're rubbing singles with album tracks and B-sides like "Skills to Pay the Bills," two outtakes from the abandoned country album, alternate versions of "Jimmy James" and "Three MC's and One DJ," 's brilliant remix of "Body Movin'," goofs like the -sung cover of "Benny and the Jets," and the excellent new single "Alive," it all sounds fresh. There's much more than hits here, but achieves something most anthologies don't: it summarizes the attitude and spirit of the band, while offering some new revelations even for dedicated fans."
