Greatest hits collections can swoop in to satisfy old fans who have lost their old albums. For 311 this means a fatally scratched copy of Music lost too long ago to recall, a faded-pale copy of 311 left on the floor of a friend’s car and the copy of Transistor sold for gas money.
311’s hits collection features the band’s unnecessary cover of the Cure’s “Love Song” and two previously unreleased tracks: “First Straw,” a classic reggae-infused song that sounds ancient, and “How Do You Feel?” which might be a reject from more recent sessions.
Greatest Hits should satisfy recent fans with its more than half post-1999 music. But for longtime (or former) fans, Greatest Hits is unessential. For the money, just root around in your old discs or hit the dollar rack at a used-CD store.
