This 2002 European "greatest-hits" collection from BMG International is three tracks shorter than 2006's Greatest Hit...And More, but Reel Big Fish fans across the pond won't be disappointed, as all of the big hits like "She Has a Girlfriend Now," "Beer," "Sell Out," "Trendy," and "Everything Sucks" are here. Favorite Noise dutifully captures the ska-punk revivalists in the studio, but listeners looking for the real deal should pick up 2006's Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album. ~ James Christopher Monger
