Billed as, "the perfect career-spanning retrospective album, time to look back and reflect, but also a great opportunity for all those who want the best – and nothing but the best – on a 2-CD," 30 Years 30 Hits-Best of D-A-D 1984-2014 is very much the perfect introduction to a band who have had a slew of No.1 albums in their native Denmark but remain fairly unknown outside of Scandinavia.
That they aren't better known is firstly a bit of a scandal but then again the band didn't exactly put forth the requisite effort in order to crack the rest of the world especially the USA when perfectly poised to do so around the time of the wholly wonderful No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims album. I'd very much argue that the songs from said album still constitute their best work but the quality threshold remains high throughout, "Grow Or Pay" being a particular highlight alongside the slightly deranged "Evil Twin" or the fuzzy "Monster Philosophy". Musically we find ourselves in hard rock territory usually with some groovy twangy guitar to make it stand out from the crowd.
