As described by one reviewer, the compilation is a "truly weird amalgamation that eviscerates the competition by providing you with what you never even thought about wanting. For instance: a quiet, heartfelt rendition of 'Waterloo Sunset', as performed by the Fastbacks. It's the most charmlessly charming, utterly superfluous album I've heard in a while; where most tribute albums suffer from a hyper-obsession while remaining true to the original artist, this compilation makes a strong case for the offbeat."[1]

gollark: Did you know that quidquid latine dicit, altum sonatur?
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNUNobody, is in fact, GNU/Nobody, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Nobody. Nobody is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
gollark: Actually, for tax reasons, I was dead.
gollark: You need to pay a royalty of 1.000€ per decimal point.
