Query: Compilations are pointless in the CD-R era.

You're better off making your own mixes. Record company-produced compilations are generally a let down for the fans and a misrepresentation of the true band to non-fans.There are some good songs on here, but there are very few "bad" songs on the two individual albums, so why clump them together in a profanity-free blob while leaving out many great songs? To take your money, that's why.This thing is a bastardization of the one of the true modern epics of music. And seeing how dysfunctional the sum of parts for what was once G'n'R is now, only makes the accomplishment of the Illusion albums that much more impressive. Buy both albums if you don't have them already. And if you do have them, don't waste your time and money on this pile.
