Okay for non-fans; redundant for die-hards

"I don't actually own this album, but I do own 'The Silver Album', 'H2O', and 'Ooh Yeah!', which are the three albums of which this CD is compiled. I have no problem with these particular albums; in fact, I think it's an okay set for the casual listener (although in my opinion they really should have put the album 'Voices' in this set instead of 'H2O'; it was Daryl and John's breakthrough album and it's safe to say that even non-fans are sick of hearing 'Maneater'!). However, for the true fan, this compilation is nothing new, which is why I'm giving this only 3 stars. As a bona fide H&O fan, I can safely assure everyone reading this that most fans are looking for either new material (even if it is just cover songs) or a collection completer. My advice: If you want a casual listen or just want to familiarize yourself with this enchanting duo, buy this compilation for a primo price. For fans, I'd suggest buying the box set for a complete collection of Hall and Oates' best songs."
