This compilation album is a good acquisition if you're NOT a huge fan of Pink Floyd and you only want to listen to their songs once in a while with no interest in the original studio albums. Most of the songs were mutilated so they could fit into the two CD's and the results were awful, being the best example precisely the song "Echoes", which was turned from a 23 minutes song into a 16 minutes song because of all the great parts they cut.

The order and selection of the songs they picked for this album are also very controversial, why did they put "Set the controls of the heart of the Sun" right in the middle of "The great gig in the sky" and "Money"? I'll never understand. Something really remarkable about this album and honestly the only reason why I would ever buy it is the beautiful artwork by Storm Thorgerson, who made an amazing compilation of references to the whole Pink Floyd discography, further than that, I have anything else to say about it.
