The point is that albums are an arbitrary medium and a comp can be at least as valid a medium for listening in one go and having a bunch of a band's best songs in one place along with some other oddities that are also bomb as **** even if they don't meld together in a seamless experience can be as definitive as an actual "album" and Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death is a perfect encapsulation of that. It's got a bunch of amazing **** and some other **** that doesn't fit in with the standard concept of an album that I love listening to as well that makes me very happy and the incongruity of it all feels perfectly valid considering just who the Dead Kennedys are.
