I bought this because I am a huge fan.



The problem is that as a huge fan, I already own the compact discs containing these songs.



A bigger problem is that if you are a fan of a specific time period the band's career, that time period will be under-represented on this disc. I know my preferred time period is.



The good thing is that songs are all good, so this can go in your player and you can nod your head to the beat while you sit in traffic.



Basically, this is a disc that you would give to someone who hasn't heard the band's work and you wanted to try to convert them to fandom.



So, like play a track, and if they like it tell them, "You have to listen to the rest of 'The Bright Lights of America' to really hear this one contextually."
