I'm always a bit apprehensive about buying a greatest hits.....but after looking at the track listings - I was satisfied and decided to buy it.

This album has slowly grown to be one of my favourites. The songs encompass the entire career of Pink Floyd (even if they aren't in any particular order). The songs are mixed together well and flow together as if it were a new album of new songs. I was shocked to see a few minutes shaved off some of the songs [namely Echoes] but upon listenin' the change isn't worth noticing.

CD 2 is definately my favourite - and through over listening I have discovered a huge love for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"

A few glaring omissions are my only complaints. For example "Speak To Me/Breathe" and "Be Careful With That Axe Eugene" these are the two I missed most on this album.

In conclusion - I can say that this is a pretty good album that is very listenable to. It's no "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" - but it's cohesive and holds your attention.
