"this album is really good. in fact, it is probably the only anthology i would say i really do like. that's not exactly true because i also really like the clean's anthology. this is kinda like that, but mostly with better production values. they're both sort of psychedelic, but this one's got more of a gambler thing going on whereas the clean sound like they're from new zealand, i.e. sorta weird. generally the first half of this anthology is more memorable than the second, but none of the songs are bad and quite a few are truly excellent. the sixties were a crazy time."
