Anyone who wants to get the real picture of one of the most exciting, wall-shaking bands of the '70s (with a fair chunk of their later work included) needs to investigate Rhino's two-CD set Houseparty: Anthology instead. As it is, the disc is suitable only for the most casual of J. It also would have helped the compilation live up to the 'Best' in the title. Still, a fifty/fifty split on this best of would have done the band more justice. Granted more people remember the later hits like 'Centerfold,' 'Freeze-Frame,' 'Just Can't Wait' or 'Love Stinks,' and you can't deny that they had a run of great pop songs at EMI. Surely relatively weak songs like the pseudo-rockabilly rave-up 'Piss on the Wall' or the bland ballad 'Teresa' could have sacrificed to make room for some more prime J.

There are a handful of classic rockers from the mid-'70s notably 'Whammer Jammer' and 'Looking for a Love' from 1972's Live - Full House and 'Must Have Got Lost' and '(Ain't Nothing But A) Houseparty' from 1976's Blow Your Face Out but add the laid-back reggae tune 'Give It to Me from 1973's Bloodshot and that's it for the Atlantic years, a move that omits too many great songs to mention here. That may be fine for the casual fan, but anyone who wants a booster shot of the raucous, house party-starting J. In fact five songs come from 1981's smash Freeze Frame, three from 1980's Love Stinks, and two from 1982's live disc Showtime! Add it up and three years account for more than half of the songs here. It would be nice to say it is a definitive look at their career, but perhaps due to the record being released by Capitol (a member of the EMI family), the record is tipped in favor of the group's more commercial, pop-oriented songs of the '80s.
