Essentially contains 3 from Suffer, 4 from Generator, 5 from No Control and 7 from Against the Grain. I'll review the first two separately. The last two I listened to 3 times each and would probably give them both a 7.5 (high B+), which means in the normal course I would buy them. By the way, the fact that they are the most represented on this album is further proof that these two are their best.
Anyway, on No Control, this contains 5 of 15 songs, so it includes 1/3 of what is essentially an EP at 26:14. It also contains all the best songs off that album, so I'm not buying what is essentially an EP at full price to get 17 minutes of its lesser songs.
The 7 songs from Against the Grain are 7 of that album's 17 songs. This leaves off all songs on AG that are under 1:54 and only three over 2:15. The 7 songs clock in at 17:36, which is more than half of the 34:56 album, and it's obviously the better half, so I won't be buying that one either.
In summary, All Ages make No Control and Against the Grain redundant.
