The reviews caused me to expect more, I guess. It's fine background music at work, but pretty laid-back. I've listened to all the songs at least 3 times now and nothing has really jumped out at me. I don't even notice the songs by singers I'm familiar with.
On the plus side, I got this album for $3.99 and it more than fills 2 cds. I have MANY long quiet hours at work, so it fills that niche well. However, I enjoy more upbeat and lively music. And I like it when a song catches my attention so that I have to stop what I'm doing and go see who it is. Not a single song on this album has done that for me.
I do appreciate all these special deals amazon gives us and I have found new music I've enjoyed in the most unlikely compilations, usually free. I don't regret the few bucks I spent for this one.
