Yeah. I hated it! There are some good tracks, but there are some
really annoying ones, too. And there doesn't appear to be much rhyme
or reason to the track selection or sequencing. Plus, the segues
are irritating and essentially make the CD useless for programmed
play (you know, to avoid the really annoying tracks). This CD made
it into my re-sell pile faster than anything in recent memory. This
is definitely one to preview before purchase.
