Richard Cheese, along with his band Lounge Against the Machine, takes songs from a wide variety of bands, some good, a lot bad, and turns them (or "swankifies" them as he says...somewhere i think) into amazing lounge jams
this album claims that it's a "best of" but that's kind of misleading. 4 of the tracks ("Bust a Move", "Freak on a Leash", "Another Brick In the Wall" and "Badd") are brand new and 7 tracks ("Rape Me", "Closer", "Nookie", "Fight For Your Right", "Gin and Juice", "Come Out and Play" and "Creep") are full band re-recordings of older tracks, so only 7 tracks on here are available on the previously released albums.
the re-recorded tracks are off the first album, Richard Cheese  Lounge Against the Machine, which featured all synthesized instruments. the full band makes a huge difference and the tracks sound great. 
this is one of the few times i'd recommend a "best of" for both new and old fans.
