I hate it and i love it at the same time, if they are going to make a compilation they should include tracks such as i can have both, i dont mind, and glamorous glue. they should throw in some "other" stuff instead of the typical tracklist, and by the way i agree with that statement fuck bin laden. i hope that his ass is skinned alived.

                  'speedway' or 'why dont you find out 4 yourselves' should appear somewhere...then drop 'hold on 2 yer friends'.

                  im glad 'sing your life' is here and impressed with the omission of 'ouiji board' and 'satan' !! BUT still as predicted there are no demo's , live out-takes or extra tracks.

                  look out for the next mozz compilation where another company do a full b-side album with yes you've got it no new tracks....

                  for reference - in the u.k. 'hairdresser on fire' doesnt appear on 'viva hate', its only on the suedehead single....

                  the only thing i havent got on the album is the usa promo of 'now my heart is full' which ive heard and its barely different.

                  'trouble loves us' would of been a good choice, but then again the record companies love us, (not).... ;-)
