This is that huge singles comp. that they just put out. I saw it at Criminal the other day for less than 10 bucks. Anybody heard it or think its worthwhile. I've never had/heard a lot of their stuff, but I am usually positive on the material when i do.

I bought it a few weeks back, and was basically my introduction to the band as well. I figured $12.99 for a 2CD Best of a highly regarded band would be a no-brainer....

sadly, after two listens, I havent taken to it yet....im giving it two more chances, then cutting my losses.

I bought it for $12.99 too. It was also my intro to the band but I, unlike Dov, really like it. It's your typical mid-tempo-noise-indie rock sound. I think it's well worth the price.

I've got like 5 or so YLT discs and still think this is a great set - I listen to it more than the albums themselves, weirdly. Buy the 3-disc version, it's a better deal when/if you get to the point of needing more from them.
