From start to finish there is hardly a duff track on it, and it's all mixed together in a seamless mega mix fashion.
I mean it's got Me Plus One by Annie which is fantastic; it's got Steffy on it (you'll love them come 2007 - check out my previous review of their album); it's got two of the best singles of the year (SOS and Maneater) and as well as the likes of Britney and the Sugababes, it's also got some "serious" artists on such as The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and Ladytron.
It's also got some tracks that (as of yet anyway) you can't get anywhere else.
The Love Machine demo version by Girls Aloud is very weird. It's got virtually completely different lyrics and misses out the proper chorus entirely (which probably means that at this stage of it's life it probably wasn't called Love Machine). Still it has it's curiosity value.
We also get BRAND NEW Sophie Ellis-Bextor stuff, which is better than her last lot of stuff.
And then, in perhaps the icing on the cake, we get an exclusive version of Pet Shop Boys' It's A Sin which is pretty bloody good indeed.
So really, if you love "pop" music you need this in your collection. And if you don't love "pop" music you should buy this and be prepared to change your mind. It's just what the Xmas disco needs.
