Music reviews of 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection

Music Review: Surprisingly well done look back at their major label era
Rating: 4 Stars

You generally know what you're getting with compilations like this...a bunch of singles with a remix or two thrown in. This album doesn't do much to fight that standard. However, they did manage to pick out, for the most part, the best of the best when it came to the "filler" tracks. Aside from the out-of-place techno mix and the Christmas song at the end, you can generally listen to this in one sitting without skipping ahead.

The I Will Come To You techno remix is horrid and easily the ugliest thing on the disc. It's (obviously) not representative of the group at all and is merely a relic of their uber-popular phase, where their label threw absolutely everything out there because people were buying it up. I understand the need to throw remixes on here so it can appeal to people who already bought the studio albums, but they probably could have just left this one alone, there are plenty of other remixes on here.

Speaking of which, the rest of the alternate versions are fine. Slightly shorter radio edits (MMMBop, Where's The Love, & This Time Around) and a few other remixes (If Only, Thinking of You, & Weird - although the Weird "remix" is identical to the album version) do no harm. Where this disc really shines is the choices to fill in the gaps here. A Minute Without You from their first album is a decent choice, while Runaway Run and You Never Know are fantastic, underappreciated offerings from the This Time Around album.

Rounding out the lineup is "Wake Up," from a movie soundtrack a few years back and their final major label offering. This is a worthwhile semi-rare track to beckon completists to pick up the disc.

Oddly enough, the track selection on this album is superior to the similar-intentioned UK disc titled "MMMBop: The Collection"...despite the fact that there are more tracks on the UK disc. The quality ratio is higher on this 20th Century Masters disc, and this is a pretty solid retrospective of their major label days. Ignore the "bah, this is just a greedy cash-in" feeling you may get by picking it up. It's much better than I was expecting.

New/younger fans who missed out on the MMMBop era of '97 may be better off by picking up Underneath first (their first indie record) and then perhaps The Walk, which continues their evolution....then work your way backwards, using this album as a test to see if you want to continue.
