What you do get is a pretty concise "Best Of" that sounds as fresh and invigorating as it would have done 25 years ago

Good on the band for getting in touch with their inner capitalists, but Return the Gift is ultimately superfluous.

I'm sure this album will find its way into the collections of many fans of Radio 4 and The Rapture.

So yes, they've still got it. But that still begs the question; do you need re-recordings of tunes that changed the face of rock music?

Sounds like an unnecessary gesture, especially when the original material is all still in print.

...reinforces the impression of a band who arrived 27 years early for their own party.

So, Return The Gift is not a disaster by any means, but you are left simply pondering the question why they released it at all.

If I were a fan I would expect either a greatest hits album, new live album, or album of new material if my favorite band just reunited.

Well, sell this pony to someone else, mister, because I'm not impressed.
