well, I don't think the track selection is all that bad...for a "passive" fan
I think the CD set works just fine...for the hardcore fan, however, we is
lookin' for something about 12 CDs in length w/ SWU, SFG, B sides and rare
live material...ahem, also the brand new BOC album "Still Burnin'" w/ I'd
Like To See You In Black as the first single...

The art really isn't at all that bad...although the colors of the discs
should've obviously been Red and Black, with perhaps the design of an old BOC
LP label on them...the cover art could've been original, instead of rehashing
the inner-sleeve of a BOC LP...

but, I think it's a pretty damn good product and don't feel that I didn't get
my moneys worth...I think this CD set makes more sense that On Flame or
Career of Evil, at least this one has a concept...
