Well, I have now.

The first half-dozen or so tracks are superb. Astonishing, in fact. And
"The Light Pours Out Of Me" has to be one of the best song titles ever.

It goes downhill a bit thereafter, and it's interesting to note that the
later tracks are the ones that sound a bit dated.

It's also odd that it includes nothing at all from the album "Play" which
several people have cited as their best. Perhaps I'll get that next. Any
thoughts from those who responded earlier?
