They regain their form and strenght. Naturally, 6 LP's (cca 6 hours of music) have fillers (but they are in minority and don't effect the quality overall).

    Profligate, self-indulgent and, against all oddly, hugely satisfying. ... [The single-disc] Sampler Edition is a handy 58-minute entry point to the mad endeavour. [Dec 2019, p.90]
