In November 1980, Roxy Music scored their 13th straight UK hit with "The Same Old Scene". Who could have guessed that, less than 20 years on, there would be an entire sub-category of Roxy/Bryan Ferry albums that might easily be lumped beneath a similar banner? Fact - between 1972 and 1995, Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music placed 42 singles on the British chart. Fact - between 1977 and 2001, the same team was graced with over a dozen compilation albums. Choose carefully, and all the hits can be gathered together, with the minimum of duplication. Buy sloppily, and you'll be listening to "Avalon" over and over for the rest of the year. More Than This (as in, presumably, "surely there is.") falls into the latter category, a poorly conceived, thinly compiled gathering of the same old scene - the same old songs. If you only need one Roxy Music collection, this is as good as any. If you already have one, however, there's plenty better to choose from. ~ Dave Thompson, AMG
