Review - :
{$All Saints} weren't together that long -- only two albums and a handful of singles -- but that was enough to rack up a bunch of tabloid headlines, several celebrity romances ({$Shaznay} with {$Damon Albarn}, {$Nicole} with {$Robbie Williams} and {$Liam Gallagher}), one skin-baring movie for the sisters {$Appleton}, and several big U.K. hits (and a few minor U.S. hits). It might not be a lot for a hits collection, but it was enough, as the 13-track collection {^All Hits} proves. This is padded out a bit, with two 1998 remixes (one of {&"Lady Marmalade,"} one of {&"War of Nerves"}) and the original hit version of the spectacular {&"Pure Shores"} plus its "2 da Beach U Don't Stop Remix," and it bends the rules by featuring {&"Twentyfourseven,"} a hit by {$Artful Dodger} featuring {$Melanie Blatt}'s vocals, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (particularly in the case of {&"Twentyfourseven"}), since this does consolidate the basic hits -- {&"Pure Shores,"} {&"Never Ever,"} {&"Under the Bridge,"} {&"I Know Where It's At,"} {&"Black Coffee,"} and {&"Bootie Call"} -- onto one disc. {$All Saints} did make good albums -- both of their records hold their own against {$the Spice Girls} -- but inevitably some will just want to hear the hits, and this does an excellent job of serving them up with style. [The Japanese release cuts the two hidden tracks and adds a new mix of {&"Never Ever"}] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
