HOCUS POCUS: THE BEST OF FOCUS

OK, let's state some facts first. I don't like Best of's (or Very Best of / Greatest Hits / Essential / Golden and these terrible abominations of music culture), yet I'm reviewing this album (my second BO if I'm correct, feel free to correct me). And I'm also aware of simple fact that they're album band. Some are bad, some are better and some perfect (actually, I see 3 5-stars, 5 4-stars and 2 worse stars), but in this case, it's not fair to condemn this one.

Because same as with Queen's BO, this is collection of really great songs, actually, there are almost the best songs by them. I don't know their albums so well (even I know them basically), but for me, these songs are separateable. Maybe I'm not so into this, but after all, who knows these things after all. For me, this, as a compilation is perfect. It won't appear in top list, it shouldn't make others feel bad, so what's the problem ?

4(+), because from what I see, giving 5 star is something like idiotic nonsense that no sane progger would do. It's almost prohibited, under the punishment of being hated by everyone, huh ? Nevermind, I feel that compilation is not true form, or in other words, how should it be. But as a represent of their best work it's very well. I would give 5-star, but you know, this is just best of.
