Why bother with the comps?
I've followed Al from early on and always felt his albums improved every step of the way. Bad Hair Day was the first album that did not contain any songs I did not like. Running With Scissors showed a new dangerous side to Al's work as he approached middle age. In spite of weak parodies like "Ode To A Superhero" and "E-BAy" (IMHO) on Poodle Hat, that album gets high marks for the amazing original tunes like "Hardware Store" and "Genius In France"
