...assortment follows no chronological order and spans the entire length of their career, though it is—somewhat unsurprisingly—heavily weighted toward the catalog from 1992 through 1994. This emphasis on the early part of their career is not in itself problematic, but one marvels at the omission of, for instance, epic “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” opener “Silence Kid,” when five other songs from that album are featured, including the pretty but slight “Heaven is a Truck.” Likewise, though many...

...most egregious injustice, though, is the disc’s treatment of 1995’s controversial masterpiece “Wowee Zowee.” Though detractors label “Wowee” undiscerning and disjointed, it seems unlikely that many would advocate for the inclusion of just two of its tracks on a greatest hits album, especially if one of these is the vaguely unsettling, strings and synth-heavy “Fight this Generation.” Inexplicably, this is chosen to end the compilation, despite its resemblance to a horrible Verlaines parody, creepily swirling around...

...Though “The Monitor” takes up this new narrative, Titus Andronicus focus most on maintaining the anti-suburban message of their debut, describing their irreverent, sometimes self-loathing, enthusiasm for their roots. On “Theme From ‘Cheers,’” this irreverence takes the form of a drinking song dealing with youthful drowning of sorrows and building of friendships with alcohol and cigarettes. Other times, the band deals with their inability to escape personal repugnance, such as when they chant the mantra of “You will...
