These types of collections are usually good for a few songs that one might then tape or re-burn on another CD. But based on a tip from a review, I bought this one, and it's suprisingly excellent -- like getting a superb party tape of (mostly) '90s R&B from a DJ friend. Pretty high quality throughout, and even the songs that got played to death on radio (Never Gonna Get It, Been Around the World, etc) sound good mixed with other lower key (but excellent) songs from Brandy, Aaliyah, Jodeci, Blackstreet, etc. A couple of songs seem out of place or don't fit (Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It, Brian McKnight's ballad), but overall great stuff, ending with Boyz II Men's killer "End of the Road".
