"Are you willing to pay full RRP for what amounts to a compilation CD made by some bloke from Oxford?"
This has always bothered me about these types of releases. Never fails to baffle me that they get so much attention.

i thought there was a new foals album this is shit [2]

^ read one sentence of the review or glance at the tracklist
my word
|

Ugh, if I bothered to care enough, I think I would have issues with Foals' name being associated with this.
|
| |
Confused as to why this is in the database to be honest. Doesn't really belong.

Why are you confused? It's a DJ mix they put out - I'm confused at your confusion
Also, mix is absolute garbage
|
| |
It's barely a mix. More a playlist put through the trial version of Virtual DJ.
It's just that here we have an album from Foals which (a) does not include any music from the band, (b) was compiled by only one member and (c) serves absolutely no purpose at all.

Well whether you think it serves any purpose or not is irrelevant (not trying to be an ass here, but it's true). The reality is that it is a mix (however loose that term may be), that was officially released and is attributed to the group. I see no issue here
|

But the site doesn't allow singles in the database for what I assume are similar reasons to why I'm wondering this is on here. That's where the questioning comes from.
Though to finish this with a word: meh.

The site doesn't allow singles because they're singles - this is not (obviously). What are you confused about? That there's no material from Foals on here? There's plenty of additions to the database that don't actually contain material attributed to the artist in question, that's because they're mixes. Foals' name is on the cover, they picked the tracks and "mixed" them together, thus it falls under their band page. Simple really

But then singles include maybe a b-side or two and some remixes. But as I said before, I don't really care, it's just odd to vote on an album by an artist when their input is minimal at best. It's even further gone than attributing an entire compilation to only them when they may have only one track on it. Since there's a line in the equation already I'd have thought it covered this, too.
And now that I've realised what I've spent several comments discussing, I'm going outside...

I kinda doubt that people were taking into account how better Foals album may have been than this when they were deciding on what to rate it

Because they assembled it. You (and I for that matter) may scoff at their "DJ credentials" or whatever, but they're still an integral part of the process. And you're forgetting the even bigger thing: they released it!
Now, are you sure you don't care?

New foals?
God I hope you're wrong about that 2.5.

"I kinda doubt that people were taking into account how better Foals album may have been than this when they were deciding on what to rate it"
typo?

Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound Off
Nope (well, I don't think so)
If you're querying what I think you might be, I was referring to Total Life Together, their last album
|

so - *I kinda doubt that people were taking into account how better Foals last album may have been than this when they were deciding on what to rate it
It just didn't make sense when I was reading it.
Sucks this is a mix tape... I was hoping for a proper new album.

"Are you willing to pay full RRP for what amounts to a compilation CD made by some bloke from Oxford?"
I sampled most of the tracks and I'd say this sums it up nicely.
symbolic POS
