Mental As Anything - Best Of Mental As Anything

hareflorist

Review by Hare Florist

The Best Of Mental As Anything is a comprehensive collection of the iconic Australian band's greatest hits. With tracks spanning from the early 80s to the early 2000s, this album showcases Mental As Anything's unique blend of rock, pop, and new wave.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "The Nips Are Getting Bigger," setting the tone for the rest of the collection. Other standout tracks include "Live It Up," "If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?," and "Too Many Times," all of which feature the band's signature quirky lyrics and catchy hooks.

One of the strengths of this album is its ability to showcase the evolution of Mental As Anything's sound over the years. From the synth-heavy new wave of "Egypt" to the more guitar-driven rock of "Mr. Natural," there's something for everyone on this collection.
