"... basically a huge hoop thrown in the approximate direction of the decade between 1962 and '72 - it's a testimony to thoughtful sequencing that Night Comes Down hangs together as well as it does. A chronological timeline over the course of 87 tracks on three CDs makes evolutionary sense, but genre hotspots (like the livid little proto-freakbeat cluster in the middle of Disc Two, courtesy of The Favourite Sons, The In Crowd and The Attraction) also help to maintain a tight focus".
