The Best of Warrant collects all of the band's singles for Columbia, plus album tracks mostly culled from
Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich and
Cherry Pie. Since
Warrant was primarily a singles band whose albums were often cluttered with unmemorable filler, this is the most consistent single disc in their catalog, even with the pointless remake of
Queen's "We Will Rock You," and it's the most entertaining way to hear some of pop-metal's best singles, like "Down Boys" and "Sometimes She Cries." A case could be made for more material from
Cherry Pie, which was more consistent than its predecessor, but
The Best of Warrant is all that anyone but the devoted will need. ~ Steve Huey
