"This has to be my absolute favorite album of all time (disreguarding the UK import "Gold:Greatest Hits"). This album truly is the best of Steps. It has 4 new tracks to the USA ("One For Sorrow" ["One For Sorrow (US MIX)" has only been released in america], "Better Best Forgotten", "Chain Reaction" and "Words Are Not Enough"). Although some of these songs weren't released as singles in the usa, they are some of the best. All the way from their first single (5, 6, 7, 8) to some of the best covers ever (Tragedy, Last Thing On My Mind, Chain Reaction) to some of their biggest hits (One For Sorrow, Stomp and It's The Way You Make Me Feel) and all the way to the last single (Words Are Not Enough). It is a true collection of best hits, and this is just a preview. If you want the full story, i suggest you get "Gold:Greatest Hits" from the UK, with another 7 tracks (and another 3 unlreased US tracks; Baby Don't Dance, When I Said Goodbye and Only In My Dreams) but this is a great one too. Or you could buy both like me!"

Everybody loves Steps!

"Steps is one of the hottest groups in the UK, where their records sell like hotcakes! This is their amazing hits album, which has a cover of the Bee Gees "Tragedy." Well, it'd be a "tragedy" if you skipped this CD, because Steps are among the best. Buy now!"

"Steps were a contagious five piece pop act, a guilty pleasure of ABBA-esque pop brilliance, but never managed to breakthrough in the United States. They released two albums, "Step One" and "Buzz", which yielded some singles, none of which were hits on these shores. The albums however, were both great, the latter being almost the same as the Brit edition, while the former is a unique mash-up of their first two albums in the UK. Almost every track on that release was a British hit single, so the need for this set is very low honestly. Only a few songs are different, with the Best Of's "One For Sorrow" being the original version not released here. The hit single "Better Best Forgotten", which was not included on the first album is finally released here, and two of the Steps "Gold" singles are included too. While all the songs are great, every last on a hooky pop tune, the packaging and release are all generally weak. Why release a best of in a country were you never had any hits? It reaks of money lust, in my opinion. A good bunch of tracks, but for the real deal hits collection, go after "Gold"."
