On a similar note, I've found that the compilation tracks from artists are far better than the full length albums from those same artists, especially if the comp track comes out before the album.
Exhibit A- Skipsapiens with a great track on the Perspective Fragments comp and a wholly forgettable album.
Exhibit B- VS_Price with a couple great tracks on one of the Bip Hop comps and likewise a forgettable album which, by the way, doesn't even sound like the same artist as the comp tracks.
I always feel like I've been bait-and-switched after being impressed by a comp track and totally disappointed in the full length.
