20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Hanson

Review by Rob Theakston Coming straight from the heartland of America to infect the mainstream radio and television airwaves, the brothers Hanson charmed the preteen audience of the '90s with their simple, sugary pop songs. And with several records already in the bag, it's surprising that it took until 2006 to compile a proper greatest-hits survey of their career thus far. True, there was Best of Hanson: Live and Electric compilation, but that featured all new recordings of the classics, with vocals pitched noticeably lower on some songs than the originals. All of the hits are here, including the one-two punch of MMMBop and Where's the Love," as well as dance remixes, fan favorites, and one cut from their "Snowed In" holiday album. Most fans who have followed the lads through their career will own these recordings, but for those looking to own all of the hits on one disc, it's a nice survey and most likely all of the Hanson one will ever need.
