The A-side is very solid, with a number of essential Fall tracks (especially "C.R.E.E.P." and "Cruiser's Creek"). The B-side is pretty good, but does close out with the album's weaker tracks. Overall, though, a fine selection of cuts from one of the Fall's best eras.

So great, in fact, that Sparks decided it would be a good idea to try to make the exact same song nearly 8 different times (one of the other songs is even an instrumental reprise of that song). Keep the aforementioned track and go back to "No. 1 in Heaven" (undeniably one of Sparks' finest efforts).Stars of the Lid Gravitational Pull vs the Desire for an Aquatic LiStars of the Lid Music For Nitrous OxideSteve Reich New York Counterpoint; Eight Lines; Four OrgansSun Kil Moon This Is My DinnerSun Kil Moon I Also Want to Die in New OrleansThe Olivia Tremor Control Explanation II: Instrumental Themes and Dream SequencesU2 No Line on the HorizonWeezer Van WeezerWilliam Basinski Lamentations1.5 very poorAnimal Collective Danse ManateeAnimal Collective Tangerine ReefAtreyu BaptizeBeat Happening JamboreeBilly Talent Crisis Of FaithCan Out of ReachCorbin Ghost With SkinDrake ScorpionGas NarkopopHasil Adkins Out to HunchJean-Michel Jarre EquinoxeJohn Cage 4'33'' Justin Timberlake Man of the WoodsLa Monte Young The Well-Tuned Piano 81 X 25 6:17:50 - 11:18:59 PMLa Monte Young Dream House 78' 17"I have to give credit to Young for being massively influential on drone music, but this is just intolerable.Laurie Anderson Big ScienceLou Reed Metal Machine MusicM83 JunkModest Mouse Strangers to OurselvesModest Mouse The Golden CasketOasis Standing on the Shoulder of GiantsPanda Bear BuoysPeel Dream Magazine Agitprop AlternaSkillet DominionSmog Sewn to the SkySparks Music That You Can Dance ToWeezer RaditudeWhitehouse Bird Seed1.0 awfulAJR I'm ReadyAJR The ClickAJR Living RoomAJR NeotheaterAJR OK OrchestrabrokeNCYDE I'm Not a Fan, but the Kids Like It!Chance the Rapper The Big DayColdplay A Head Full of DreamsColdplay Music of the SpheresCorey Feldman Angelic 2 The CoreFor Another The Haunting In AutumnGas Der Lange MarschI never really cared for Gas all that much - even though I'm a big fan of ambient music, Voigt's music often came off as overly pretentious and drab as if to repurpose lazily-produced sample-based ambience as gallery- worthy high art. But this, this is just a nadir in the project, and that god-awful high frequency on every other beat is on par with parodically terrible music. I've heard rumors that the retrospective nature of this work may suggest a finale, but the upset that this singularly horrid disturbance causes suggests more of a "good riddance" than a "goodbye".Green Day Father of All MotherfuckersGreta Van Fleet Anthem of the Peaceful ArmyHello Kitty Suicide Club ^_^Imagine Dragons Mercury - Act 1Jandek Ready for the HouseJohn Lennon Wedding AlbumKanye West Jesus Is KingKanye West Donda 2Kid Cudi Speedin' Bullet 2 HeavenLana Del Rey Chemtrails Over The Country ClubLiz Phair FunstyleLmfao Sorry For Party RockingLou Reed Hudson River Wind MeditationsLou Reed and Metallica LuluMacho Man Randy Savage Be A ManMaroon 5 JordiMaurizio Bianchi S.F.A.G. 81Sparks Interior DesignThe Beach Boys Summer in ParadiseThe Clash Cut The CrapThe KLF Solid State Logik 1So ultra-gimmicky and annoying it's insulting.
