Not necessarily strictly for only fans

Review Score: (8/10)
Usually a b-sides album is considered a must have for true fans of an artist or band. This time, it is not necessarily so. Sure there are quirky instrumental tunes that only devout TFF fans will enjoy but there are so many hidden treasures on this album. First, the amazing cover of David Bowie's "Ashes To Ashes" is fanatastic. Roland sings the first couple of lines so close to Bowie that it is hard, at first, to distinguish the original from the cover. Second, "Lord of Karma" was originally the b-side to "Laid So Low". At the time of its original release, I would constantly play this song on my college radio station. It should have been a single, rather than a b-side. Third, "The Way You Are" was never available in the US (it was a single in the UK)until now. It is repetitive but catchy as hell. This b-sides album is definitely a cut above the rest.
