I was only familiar with a few of the band's songs when I bought this, and as it turns out it is a mixed bag...the earlier songs, "Russian Roulette" (especially!), "Open Your Eyes" and "New Church" are by far the best, but newer tracks like "Live for Today" are downright horrible. "Dance with Me" is a remix version, but it's been so long since I heard the original I can't notice any difference! "Hey Tonight" is a ho-hum cover of the Credence Clearwater Revival song, while "Like a Virgin" is exactly what you think it is...and it's so BAD, it's hilarious!!! The last 7 songs are bonus CD tracks of unreleased & B-side material, and except for "Opening Nightmares", they all suck.
