Good Points: The Last few tracks (i.e. the 'Mr. Brightside' remixes and Romeo and Juliet)

Bad Points: It's basically a load of singles and the like from previous albums, but the 'good stuff' is relatively new, methinks

In fact the only reason I have given this album 6 points is that the end is on a par with what they have produced before. In conclusion then, probably only a worthwhile purchase only if you are a fan or have no sense of musical antiquity. Otherwise stick to the tried and tested method of downloading only what you personally find good.
