CAPSULE:1999-2016 is a 2016 compilation album by American band The Faint.[1] Released on September 30, 2016 by Saddle Creek, the collection spans recordings from 1999 to 2016 and adds the new tracks "Skylab1979" and "ESP", which appear on CD and digital formats and as a bonus seven-inch single bundled with the double LP.[1][3] The campaign was announced on August 4, 2016 with a digital release planned for September 30 and a silver 2xLP pressing scheduled for October 28.[3][1] Critics described the release as a concise survey of the band's catalog and a strong entry point for new listeners.[4][5][6]
The band announced the compilation on August 4, 2016 when Pitchfork shared the track listing, confirmed a September 30 digital release, and scheduled a double LP for October 28.[3] Saddle Creek issued the set in multiple formats, including a silver 2xLP package with a bonus seven-inch carrying the new tracks.[1] The sequence draws from five studio albums and a standalone single recorded between 1999 and 2016.[7]
Critical reception
Review coverage characterized the release as an effective career summary. New Noise Magazine called it both a reminder of the band's early positioning and a strong entry point for new listeners, and awarded four stars.[4] The Electricity Club highlighted its emphasis on material from Danse Macabre and Wet from Birth while recommending the compilation as a primer.[5] Record Collector wrote that the selection presented a warmer portrait of the group than its reputation for coldness.[6]
