This brilliantly titled collection features 14 hits and four previously unreleased songs (from 1995). Everyone remembers Roxette's first international hit "The Look," but anyone within range of a radio station between 1988 and 1994 will know almost all of these songs. In the hands of a cynical songwriter, this kind of material would seem like little more than a calculated attempt at chart success. But Per Gessle, Roxette's primary songwriter, sounds as though he just happened to write huge smash hits merely as a by-product of playing music. His genius is his seemingly accidental pop perfectness.
It is hard to pick a standout track--they all are almost equally strong--but a song like "It Must Have Been Love" is particularly impressive because it has become so much a part of the collective pop unconscious that it is a surprise to hear it here--wasn't this a hit back in the '70s performed by, say, Abba or someone? The four 1995 tracks are cut from the same cloth--"June Afternoon" is spectacularly cheerful, akin to Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine," and "She Doesn't Live Here Anymore" is a big, crunching slab of power-pop that nails the style to a T.
