Was super hyped when A Best first came out. Feel nothing now. It's great if it works for other people, but for me, all I can see is "wow, THIS was considered high production values in 2001?! damn we've come a long way".

There are different ways to use music to evoke nostalgia. Straight up rehashes are a pretty lazy way to do it. Bands like SPITZ, Mr. Children, Southern All Stars, singers like Yuming, all evoke nostalgia without having to necessarily re-release the exact same album.
