Customer Reviews Ugh They feature only a handful (if that) of Boingo tracks. How is this a best-of? I have yet to see a satisfying best-of collection for this band, but I can assure you this is the worst from what I've seen. This classic band deserves much better. Don't bother with this junk, there's way better choices than this one. Certainly not for real fans The glaring omission of "Ain't This the Life" made me do a double-take. Heck, all of the songs are good on this collection. Any real "Best Of" Boingo would require a double CD (at least). But, if you are a Boingo novice and wpould like to listen to a small sampling of some of their more commercial stuff, knock your self out. Then go buy "Nothing to Fear. " Moreover, buy "Skeletons in the Closet" if you really want a good "best of" album. This CD does NOT contain the real version of "Violent Love"!! The label KNOWS this, so they cynically try to FOOL the fans by stating that "VIOLENT LOVE" - long an early fan favorite from OB's early 10" EP that's long OOP - is included here on this CD - buy after buying it, you'll feel the burn when you discover to your horror that it's the inferior "live" version - what is the POINT? MONEY. These budget-priced alleged best-of CDs are motivated by pure greed - if you're really a true fan, why would you buy this? You already have all these songs already. Plain and simple. A waste. . You can see a complete list of all Oingo Boingo discography, or go back to the Oingo Boingo tabs
