Powderfinger: The Best Of Powderfinger 1994-2000

Reviewed by RUSSELL BAILLIE

Herald rating (* * *)

The Brisbane rock band seem to have peaked on their studio album-before-last, Odyssey Number Five, which might explain the reason for this as well as a double live album. This traces their grungier beginnings through to the increasing song-finesse of their latter efforts. But the best material is still the Odyssey stuff, making this 17-track collection feel a mite premature.

New tracks: Bless My Soul, Process This

Key tracks: Waiting for the Sun, My Happiness, Like a Dog
