Search - Men Without Hats :: My Hats Collection

Pretty good if you don't already have the MWOH Collection...

"but if you already have that disc, you aren't going to find much new here. It's practically the same disc with only a few track changes. The big reason to get this disc is for the Euromix of Freeways, which is very hard to get on CD. Other than that, the unique tracks on this compilation are "Tomorrow Today" and Gravity is my Enemy", which are both early MWOH tracks before they really tightened their sound to synth pop perfection, and a track called Heaven which, while not a synth pop track, has much of the catchy pop qualities of tracks from their later period--and is a live track. Overall, COLLECTION is a better compilation, the difference being the replacement of previously mentioned tracks with the imperative 12" version of "I Got the Message", one of their synth pop masterpieces, "Moonbeam," "Messiahs Die Young," and "Hey Men."



The bottom line is, instead of infrequent "hits" collections with minor differences in track listings, we need reissues of MWOH first three albums with all the b-sides and 12" versions...."

Not worth it

"This is not even an official MWH release. If you don't have the songs, Heaven, Tomorrow Today or the Freeways (Euromix) go and search for the Men Without Hats - Silver Collection. It includes those tracks and even Rhythm Of Youth. AND it comes with a DVD."
