This is a compilation of four tracks from the last three albums ("Total 13,” "Making Enemies Is Good" & "Stockholm Syndrome"), “Tinnitus” is the perfect introduction to one of rock ‘n’ rolls diamonds in the ruff. I don't understand why the Backyard Babies are not hotter in the USA. They are Grammy winners in Europe and they are a tight outstanding band. Check track-three on the disc called “Highlights” just a fantastic song. Track-four “A Song For The Outcast” reminds me of a classic Alice Cooper track vocally and musically the band has stardom written all over this CD. Even though it is a compilation and if you have not heard the Backyard Babies you have a chance to listen to four of the best tracks on the last three CD's then you can make your own judgment. After listening, I am sure the Babies will have a huge following in the USA and other countries. “Minus Celsius” is the first single off the CD and if it gets airplay, they will be unstoppable. It has top ten hit potential. Since I myself do not have the three Backyard Babies CD's this is a gem to my collection. The thing about Backyard Babies they bring back memories of bands that we all loved Alice COOPER, VAIN, JAPAN, The CLASH, and many others.
