After owning all of the albums represented on "AFI", I can say that it well represents AFI's style throughout the years. The songs either were singles or are known as classics to AFI fans. If a new fan is unwilling to buy six albums, I would recommend that they buy this one. For the older fans, since most of the songs have been previously released, the never-released-on-CD-before songs were a valuable addition. Although I am more likely to listen to the individual albums, I do believe that this was put together nicely.
