You'd think, after so many albums, that Scooter really wouldn't need any kind of introduction. But, hot on the heels of their latest release, a bonus disc was appended to the packaging, serving up a greatest-hits set that really can't be beat. On the main disc, 14 tracks include (in the U.K. only) that audacious remake of Status Quo's "Whatever You Want," restyled as "Jump That Rock"; the hits set, meanwhile, rounds up a generous 20 Scooter classics, dating back to "Move Yer Ass!" from 1995 and moving on from there through "Back in the U.K.," "Rebel Yell," that still remarkable "Logical Song," and more. So yes, there's some overlap with 2002's Push the Beat for This Jam collection but hey, you were going to buy the new album anyway. The rest of it's just a free gift! [This edition of Jumping All Over the World features a 13-track main disc that does not include "Jump That Rock."]
