SpinMostly great. [Jan 2005, p.96]
-
One of the band’s finest releases and arguably the most comprehensive statement to date on just where the musicians were coming from, the roads they took to get where they ended up, and even possibly where they were headed.
-
UncutA hardcore fan's wildest dreams fulfilled. [Jan 2005, p.134]
-
Q MagazineAs the set progresses, the trademark Nirvana sound begins to take shape. [Dec 2004, p.152]
-
The crown jewel for those without the patience or proclivity to wade through sketches of songs better heard in full, the fourth disc is a DVD of live footage from the beginning to the end.
-
Those hoping for a trove of overlooked gems will be disappointed, as too much of With the Lights Out sounds like nothing so much as a dull-edged instrument lifting flakes of material from the bottom of a barrel. Simply put, there's enough good stuff here for a solid single disc.
-
This collection is the antithesis of anything Kurt Cobain would have authorized, right down to the shiny metal packaging.
