The songs deliver sharply arranged synth-punk in compact bursts, but this 17-track career-spanning selection has little sequencing logic beyond collecting them.

What we noticed

  • Baby BIAS, Young OH! OH!, and Rocket open the 17-track set in quick succession, with no introductory interlude or slow lead-in.
  • Clipped guitar figures and bright repeating synth hooks recur across the selections; vocals tend toward short, chanted phrases rather than extended melodic lines.
  • The sequence moves from Shout Aloud! to You-You-You at the end without a closing instrumental or other change in format.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
