What did you think?
Because of the size, I dont know where I am going to place it (Wont fit with my other CD's) but I love it.

Packaging is a+ and it is good to hear a few songs that I dont already have on a few of my Bootlegs.

I was thinking of checking it out. However in today's paper (Chicago RedEye) they said the following that doesn't sound too good:

"…Other than historical significance — a barely audible cover of Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" from the band's first ever gig and granular video footage of Dave Grohl's debut — there's no Holy Grail on this three-disc, one-DVD box set. Even a solo acoustic version of "You Know You're Right," the band's previous Holy Grail, is truncated…It's a shame that's all there is, but only Cobain had access to the light switch."

I hate boxset, because i feel like the record companies are charging you more because they put out a box. I wish the nirvana set can pack like John mellencamp recent cd and can be bought for $15 or less. But the booklet is quite good and it probably won't fit.

i only listen once this afternoon and i have the volume down, but disc one sounds like a bad demo.

When the lights out.

After fully listen to this boxed set, I am very disappointed because most songs sound like crap. That's a reason why some of the songs never seen daylight until now.
