    Mostly great. [Jan 2005, p.96]
  2. It's no surprise that most of it's raw; it is a surprise that most of it's worth hearing. [10 Dec 2004, p.89]
  3. There isn't a doubt in anyone's mind that this collection plays it way too safe to satisfy the über-devoted.

    The greatest comfort of Nirvana is that the music is so uncomfortable.

    All the good stuff on this compilation of mostly crap (i have the right to say that considering how much it costs) could have been put on one disc. There is a reason however why most of this stuff wasnt released commercially before, and that's because it's crappy and Kurt did not want it to be heard obviously. Expand

    I just bought Sliver, The Best Of The Box, and I cannot wait for the reviews to write my opinion, I have to vent! If what I bought is the best of this box-set then I sincerely feel bad for anyone who spent actual money on this drivel. I'm a huge Nirvana fan and I do not buy boxed sets by anyone because I've had bad luck with them, they never seem to get it right. But Sliver should have a warning sticker on it, something that says, basically, THIS CD DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY MUSIC THAT WAS MEANT TO BE RELEASED COMMERCIALLY. I mean, seriously, I want my money back, and not because I need it, because I feel ripped off. If Francis Bean really needs money for college I guess it ok to rip off Nirvana fans, but c'mon, this is a disgrace to even the memory of a man who suffered tremendously for his art and expression. Thank GOD the expression "turning over in his grave" is just that, an expression. I think Kurdt would be pissed. Maybe he's somewhere (I don't believe that mystical magical malarky, but just humor me here) better... and glad he's dead. This is... ARGH... DON'T BUY IT... I'll send you mine. Expand
