The thing about this boxed set is that there's way too much crap. There's different takes of songs that are almost identical to the originals, then there's different takes of different takes which sound the exact same as the previous take, etc. Basically, the first disc is almost entirely indescernable noise. The second disk features a lot of useless alternate takes, but has some really great stuff buried in it (ie. Oh The Guilt, Smells Like Teen Spirit [boom box recording]). The third disk starts off really bad, but gets a lot better (ie. Marigold, Sappy, Do Re Mi, etc.). The DVD isn't bad, but the sound quality on some of the videos is embarrassing. I think if they cut it down to about 2 discs, and maybe a shorter more professional DVD, it would've worked. |
