One of the most important albums of the 90s, Odelay was the long awaited follow up to 'Mellow Gold' & now almost 12 years since it's original release in 1996 the album has been re-issued with B-sides from the Odelay era & remixes of original tracks from Odelay present on a 2nd disc. Odelay is well renowned for it's integration of genres ranging from Rock, Hip Hop, Folk, Electronica and Noise to create something, though not totally innovative, different into the mainstream media.
The album still sounds as fresh as it did when it was released & the B-sides are really strong as well (as are the remixes) but at over 2hours in length it is nearly impossible to listen to the whole collection in one go but in the whole you do have 2 very strong discs & whilst it will offer nothing new to collectors the is enough here to warrant the re-issue.
