Name of the album should be called "You-and your $$- Run"

"According to Mike 'the ego has landed' Score former lead singer of the band Flock of Seagulls, this album is yet another attempt by a record company to cash in on past hits. Anyone who saw bands re-united will know that Score's voice is now shot and the other 3 members of the band, brother Ali Score on drums who hasn't spoken to Mike in 12 yrs, Frank on bass and Paul on guitar could re-form as a Flock of C-gulls or something like that and still actually perform.Mike attempts on the bands official website to distance himself from this cd because the main bulk of music was recorded for a re-mix album 2 years ago and the record company took the music and his (poor) voiceovers and did a new compilation album with them. Give this cd a wide berth and spend your money on another good compilation CD. To hear one member of the band re-record and re-sing songs 20 years later and then grumble about the quality does this band dis-justice. If amazon would have let me post O stars I would have."
Like Bad Kareoke Versions of the Originals

"Who knows what happened here on this album? You would think that after singing these songs for over twenty years the singer might improve upon the originals. No chance. These new renditions are uninspired and almost robotic in tone. Don't buy this unless you enjoy being disappointed."

This CD Is A Fraud

"This CD is a complete fraud. These are not the original recordings. It sounds like Mr. Score went into his garage and re-recorded the songs with his vocal range failing. If I could have issued Zero stars, I would have. Don't waste your dough."
I was duped!

"I was duped into thinking I was buying a great compilation CD, but it ended up being full of craptacular re-recordings of some of my favorite songs. AVOID this at all costs if you're looking for the original songs! These re-recorded tracks lack all of the punch and the 80s sound of the originals.
I suppose I should have done more research before buying, and would probably have a hard time getting a refund, but I just wanted to warn everyone else before they waste their money on this."
