What, people aren't allowed to give their opinions about stuff? O_o

I voted yes, but I have some conditions and terms...

I only dislike it if it's for an artist that hasn't been around for very long. A person with a 3 or 4 year career does NOT have much to say for themselves, okay? They don't need a 'best' of - they need a singles compilation and release it as such. I know Ayu had her first BEST album released early in her career but it's well known that not only was it against her wishes but she hated the idea of it. She herself thought it came too early in her career, too.

BEST albums are supposed to be collections of just that - the BEST an artist offers. The fact that EXILE, who are releasing three MORE BEST albums and in their 6 year long career really leaves a sour taste in my mouth, as i feel it misses the entire freakin' point. stop rehashing material and MAKE SOME MORE.

however, it's also okay if the BEST album is retakes, recuts or "take 2s" of older songs - or even if the BEST album is just a combination of songs from one particular genre (ballads, pop, dance, etc.).

i just find it laughable that artists who haven't even proved their worth have released several BEST albums to date.
