Good point MX!

I feel the same way! I wouldn't be surprised if they left Astralwerks!

Gawd. Don't like it? Then don't buy it. Simple as that. This is one way to get all the EBW's out there for those of us who've been harping over the years how great it would be to have all of those tunes on one disc - in tangible format... and another way, as Ed Simons stated, to get people who caught their gigs at one of the numerous fests they played interested in their music. And again, this is the first Best Of release, it's not a Singles album like the one from 2003. Re-jigged perhaps. A money grabbing attempt from the label? Maybe. A release to help the boys break even from an exhausting and lengthy tour? Could be. There's always room to speculate the reasons as to why this album is being released, as it is fair to question why a compilation like this is being released only 5 years after Singles. But the moaning about this release has become real tiresome, I think... :(

We should be at least a little bit grateful that this album is being released at all and is not exclusive to iTunes or whatever. And what's more, the Chems are going to be heading back to the studio!! Brotherhood is a little extra something to pass the time inbetween, and a little something to beef up our collections as well as reel in new fans.

yeah - shutup already folks! it's all the frikkin weapons finally on one cd! that's enough reason to jump n feel greatful!
