Winger was much maligned for the few years they were big, and undeservedly so. The members of this band are educated in music and are among the best in their crafts. The quality shows through on this fantastic compilation showcasing their brief run.
I find interesting the order in which the songs are put on this CD. The first track, “On The Inside” is a new recording that seems to pick up right where the barely-noticed but awesome “Pull” album left off. Hints of a modern sound persist but the melody is still there. Next comes five straight tracks from “Pull”–their third and last album. Songs like “Blind Revolution Mad” and “Junkyard Dog” sound better than ever and remind me how much I liked the direction they were taking at that time while rock music was being overrun by grunge.

Then after an outtake track called “Hell To Pay”, which was a solid track as well, the compilation picks up with five tracks from the second album “In The Heart Of The Young”. Sure the big ballad hit “Miles Away” is included along with the rockers that were released, but I am especially happy that they included the wonderful song “Under One Condition” here, as to me this truly is a song that I would consider among “The Very Best of Winger”.
