I have every single ICC volume that has ever been published. The older ones are definitely hit and miss. Sanday and Headlam is actually still useful. The old Matthew commentary is hideous (the one by Allen), but the new one by Davies and Allison is extremely valuable. Here are the new volumes: Williamson on Isaiah 1-5; Goldingay/Payne on "Second Isaiah" (yeah, I know, yeach), McKane on Jeremiah, Macintosh on Hosea, Davies/Allison on Matthew, Cranfield on Romans, Best on Ephesians, Wilson on Colossians/Philemon, and Marshall on the Pastorals. Cranfield is the oldest of these volumes, and it was originally published in the 1970's, whereas the newest ones were just published last year. They intend to continue the series, although, like many series, it is being bought out by several companies. It is hard even to keep track of who owns the series. These commentaries usually come from a moderate to very liberal stance. The newer ones are much more inclined to comment on the final form of the text, and have many more literary insights than the older set.
