    The spare demos, crystal-clear concert recordings, and handsomely produced liner notes are a fan's delight, but it's the three original albums included here--38 haunting ballads and fist-pumping anthems, some in unreleased mixes, each one a gem--that still shine brightest.
  2. Tiny Mix Tapes

    The songs here represent more than just a band; they represent the myth, the sound of "beautiful losers," as Buck describes them, making good on the promise their sound always presented.

    This 4-CD box is the monument to both the cult and the art. And it's great. [Oct 2009, p.117]
