    Just by its sheer size, a box this mammoth isn't for everybody but The Complete Columbia Album Collection restores warmth, heart, and mess to an artist whose legacy was turning into a monochromatic myth.

    Ultimately, there's enough in this big box to last a fan weeks, months and years. It's not all equal, but it certainly leaves no stone unturned.

    rkmx52, what the sh*t are you talking about? You do realize that this site compiles numerous reviews for a cumulative score, right? And itrkmx52, what the sh*t are you talking about? You do realize that this site compiles numerous reviews for a cumulative score, right? And it also links to each review so you can read it in more detail?

    Either way, aside from commenting on dumba**es like rkmx52, this is an essential collection if you're a fan of the Man in Black. As a package. it has everything you need and then some.

    How can anyone not like Johnny Cash? I don't like country music that much, but as soon as I saw this, I knew I had to have it. I was not disappointed.
