Dark Was the Night -Compilation of the year?

What a great compilation.
New songs from Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Stuart Murdoch etc...
I haven't listened to this full (I'm right now listening) but for example Beirut's song was almost better than any song in his new EP.
I'm an album guy so I don't usually care about compilations. But the song list is too good to overtake this album.
