I've been talking to Chuck about his compilations with no themes. He has some with titles but without themes. And they're good. That's the point I was making.
I can understand you wanting to only listen to compilations with themes if you didn't like variety in your music. Variety of mood especially. While NubHate varies in style, it doesn't vary in mood. Which is fine for it's purpose, but if every comp you ever listened to was like that, then you'd be missing out on great variety and experience, and it would get boring eventually. Which is more boring? A compilation where every song is really fast and heavy, or hateful, or happy, or one that goes from a fast and heavy hateful song, to a slow and soft happy song? The key is to blend them together, that's where the art of making a compilation comes in.
The reason I listen to NubFav, isn't to listen to them because they are a bunch of good songs, it's to listen to them because it's a good compilation of songs. Meaning, there are good songs on it, and they are compiled well. The whole point of a compilation, like and album, is to listen to the whole thing, front to back. NubFav is great for that. You don't need a theme to have a good compilation.
