Ten years into their sporadic career, Ladytron gift us a collection of their greatest hits. All the usual suspects are in place as you would suspect from a band with, let’s be honest, not that many hits of the great variety.
Sure, ‘Seventeen’ slinks in the suggestive and mournful way it always did and ‘Destroy Everything You Touch’ is that most rare of things, an anthem that couldn’t sound any less interested in being liked if it tried, but only new song ‘Ace Of Hz’ sounds fresh. This leaves just one question around the timing of this album: Why now?
