i listen to compilations the majority of the time,like any other release i think they're good if they feature lots of strong material....
i like it if multiple tracks show up from certain artists,alot of comps focus on a time/place and sometimes a certain performer is truly a dominant force, or on the flipside it can be good to feature an overlooked performer multiple times and stay light on others who have more easily-available or well known material
being mostly/all composed of new or rare material is definitely a selling point
