Default The boxset

Does anyone listen to the boxset ? I cant get into it . I dont really know why, I like the box set feel there are some good songs on it but its like its to much if that makes any sense. Never know where to start , just feels like the way its set out is messy.


If you do listen to it which disc is your favourite ?

Dawn

you're right, it's the same to me. Maybe because there's too much stuff... and I like REALLY one song over 5 or 6. Anyway, I prefere the first disc

I actually have songs on each disc that I really like, but I probably listen to disc 1 and disc 3 the most. There is alot of material though and sometimes, I just stick them all in the cd player and listen so I don't have to choose.

I love a lot of stuff from the box set. I made a compilation of the ones I liked and left off the ones I didn't - and put them on my portable player. This was after listening to all 4 discs quite a bit so I know what I liked and what I didn't of course.

I love the box, but I agree it could have been put together better. I wouldn't have gone for less material, just different sequences. The way it is now, every song is too isolated. The discs lack an album feeling. I know that wasn't the obejctive either, but still.

I think the Box Set has easily been the best release since Crush, maybe even These Days. I suppose the cover is kinda shit and it's a shame they didn't include a studio or a soundboard live version of Cadillac Man, but apart from that there are a lot of good tracks that didn't make the albums.

I have all four discs on my computer. I use iTunes so according to my mood I simply tick off those I want to listen to. But I do like most songs, and it's gret for hwne you don't want to think of changing CDs

I like the boxset, it's one of their better releases. Although I have only listened to it twice...
