Customer Reviews:

It's my entrance, my own creation, my grand finale, my goodbye!.......2006-01-02

Surprisingly consistent, but for completists, redundant

I was warned by reading an interview with Mr. Lydon himself that this compilation with the bonus disc was a situation where longtime fans had most of the material already and despite my hopes on the contrary, I did have most of this already having been a PiL fan since fourth grade (1984) and Sex Pistols fan thereafter (1985).

If you followed both bands, bought everything they ever put out and Lydon's solo stuff and projects with Afrika Bambaataa (aka TimeZone) and Leftfield, then yeah, this is of no use to you outside of the one new song, which is the oldest trick in the book to pull on completists when releasing a best of (I happily fell for it). If you are just dipping your toe in the water and want to see what all the fuss is about over some middleaged bugeyed Irish singer with goofy hair, welcome to the party but at the same time, what took you so long, ya tosspot?

That said, it's not a chronological best of. Pistols/PiL/Solo material mingle freely. This is like what you might make if you did a John Lydon career spanning mix disc (or, if you prefer, technowhore, uploaded into your MP3 player) and no surprise here, it's better than 99% of the dross out there on FM, XM, BBC, CBC, or however you get your music. An already genre-stretching performer, thanks to the running order of the tracks, throws all boundaries out the window and the world is a better place for it, you'd better believe it.

It's a fine place to start, unless you're a fatty oldie like me, then you've been born too soon, matey.
