     A Stranglers best-of collection is bound to play out almost like a
     various-artists collection or an eclectic mixtape. Over their
     decades-spanning journey, the English group found their roots in the early
     punk and beer-soaked pub rock scenes, but quickly branched out into
     stylistically diverse territory. Listening back-to-back to two of the
     band's biggest hits -- the swaggering street thug amble of "Peaches" placed
     next to the lilting Baroque melancholia of "Golden Brown" -- makes their
     sonic shapeshifting abundantly clear. Generally, Essential manages to
     portray the Stranglers in an accurate light; a slightly schizophrenic band
     with an equal ratio of great tunes and head-scratching filler.
