AMG Review of 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Oingo Boingo

All Music Guide

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Oingo Boingo gathers 11 of Danny Elfman's quirky new wave group's definitive tracks, including "Weird Science," "Dead Man's Party," "Wild Sex (In the Working Class)," and "Just Another Day." The band's busy, bouncy sound is also exemplified by "Grey Matter," "Only a Lad," and "Just Another Day," all of which can be found on the more complete Anthology. However, this collection contains enough of their hits and different periods in their career to make it worthwhile for casual listeners.
