Best Of is a greatest hits album by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. The album was released on 16 September 2016 by RCA Records and Sony Music. [3] It features 20 previously released tracks and four new studio recordings.
Critical reception
Anders Nunstedt of Expressen wrote: "But it's the final four, previously unreleased, songs that are the compilation's highlight. They sound like a great EP." [4]
Markus Larsson of Aftonbladet wrote: "With a few exceptions, these are singles that together form a quick introduction to Kent. That's the tip of the iceberg. Several of them cannot of course be replaced, but considering how much good music the group has released since 1995, Best of gives a misleading and banal image of Sweden's biggest band. Which really says more about Kent's song treasure than anything else." [5]
