Four CDs spanning near 30 years of music. Cure B-Sides from the Wish and Bloodflowers sessions are the highlights.

Some of Porcupine Tree's are even better than their a-sides. They often drop tracks from an album to make the tracklist more cohesive, regardless of quality.

I find this one particularly mindblowing:

I completely agree with you. Although my highlights are the b-sides from the Kiss Me and Disintegration sessions

I have two good enough to make my top 100 albums list:
Like Cats and Dogs - Catherine Wheel
Pisces Iscariot - Smashing Pumpkins

Both are good enough collections to make a great album in their own right. Fairly cohesive sound throughout both albums suggest the collections were carefully put together.
