- Yow! Probably too late, but now that someone's posted the track
- listing I have an alternative opinion. I guess the package may be
- "honest" in that there was some algorithm for choosing the tracks, but
- I also think it's kind of lame. In particular, it's missing their 3
- best (my opinion of course...) songs: "My City was Gone", "Mystery
- Achievement", and "Precious". There's some other very strong songs
- off their 1st and 3rd records that are missing; I'd recommend getting
- these two records (_Pretenders_ and _Learning_to_Crawl_) regardless.
