User Reviews:

eliks_postindustry, Sep 06, 2006

A fine double album of the Boys' b-sides from the first ten years of Pet pop showtime. Too often underestimated as flipside fillers, these songs surprise collectively as a smooth album on its own, with its own highlights and hidden gems. B-sides are not intended to hit, so they avoid standards and even experiment a bit. First they breed some kitschy disco-dream, but end up poetic and quiet. The Very-era b-sides get a special credit as flawless, but many more of them have proven as popular and fan-favorites as their A-side twins. Go on, it's good pop.
