Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released by EMI without the band's involvement or approval following the expiration of their original recording contract. The chronological collection effectively maps the group's dramatic transition from guitar-driven Britpop hopefuls to massively influential architects of experimental electronic rock. Despite the band urging fans not to purchase it, the compilation achieved significant international commercial success.
