Decades Apart is a 2-CD career spanning compilation album by English rock band the Stranglers, released on 1 March 2010 by EMI. It features 35 singles and album tracks from 1977 to 2006, as well as two new tracks, "Retro Rockets" and "I Don't See the World Like You Do".[1] The album reached #146 in the UK Albums Chart.[2]
James Allen, writing for AllMusic, said, "The latter-day cuts basically alternate between classy but vague, '80s-indebted alt-rock and more visceral tracks harking back to the Stranglers' early sound ... and the fact remains that the first disc's impact vastly outweighs that of the second. Still, this is as thorough a Strangler's history as one could want, and the Burnel-led lineup comes off much better than some might expect." Both Martin Hutchinson of The Bolton News and Ian D. Hall of Liverpool Sound and Vision called it the definitive Stranglers' compilation.[1]
