Best Of

The Cardigans' album, originally released in Europe on January 25, 2008, is the definitive collection of the Swedish band's career. It is available in a standard version with 21 tracks and a comprehensive 2-CD double version that includes a full disc of rare tracks and B-sides.

The double-CD version is especially prized because it doesn’t just stick to the hits; it acts as a treasure map of the band’s evolution from indie-pop darlings to darker, sophisticated rock veterans.
