Free Music Review: An abridged version of with the lights out
Hit: 5 Stars

Kurt Cobain is Kurt Cobain, and I'm sorry if anyone disagrees with me but that is enough to give him five stars out of the gate. I would pay twenty bucks to hear the man sing the alphabet. And to a degree that is kind of what this album is. In case there are fans out there that are unfamiliar with the box set, "With the lights out" it was a collection of rehearsels and rough demos that Nirvana had accumulated over the years. The audio was extremely rough, but worth every penny. What this album is is basically taking the best of the best and repackaging them into a 22 song format.

Now, as a reviewer I feel that it is my responsibility to be honest. I love Nirvana more then should be humanly possible, but I was still a little dissapointed with this disc. For months I've heard hype about how this disc would have two new songs, and I was lead to believe that they would be of the same caliber that "you know you're right" was on the greatest hits disc. Not so. "Sappy" sounds decent, and is a very good song, in fact it could stand to be a good "new" song, if I haven't had it on CD for about three years now. (It comes on a B-side disc with the track "Laundry room" a great song that for some damn reason hasn't made it onto any of these albums, wonder why?)

The "come as you are" demo is cool for the first couple of run throughs but isn't amazing. What this release basically comes down to is this. THIS IS NOT A GREATEST HITS CD! The songs DO NOT SOUND LIKE THEY DID ON NEVERMIND, INCESTISCIDE, BLEACH, OR IN UTERO.There for casual radio fans of Nirvana need not apply to this release. This is a cd for the die hards, the ones like me who can get by the rough edge of the recordings and hear the talent that Cobain had. If you think you can do that, and don't have "With the lights out" then you should get this as soon as you can.

Finally I must say this, Cobain was a legend. Nirvana were musical saviors. So STOP! releasing albums like this for just the die hards. If somewhere in a vault there are tracks from the Nirvana album that never got finished because Kurt died, then mix those tracks and release them on an Ep, if they don't exist, then stop doing this to great music. Kurt would turn in his grave to know that his demos were being constantly regurgitated onto different discs so a group of suits can make as much cash as possible off of Nirvana. And the sad thing is that it will take awhile before that formula fails, because Nirvana meant so much to so many people, and they will contiuosly poor money into Nirvana in order to feel that connection again. And taking finnancial advantage of people like that is wrong. So please, just let the legend rest and don't taint people's view of Nirvna by releasing numerous DEMO discs.

Thank you for your time.

Sliver: The Best of the Box By Nirvana Poster

Nirvana changed the course of popular music forever and remains an inspiration to those who have followed. The band's musical legacy was illuminated further in November 2004 by the release of the 3-CD/1-DVD box set With the Lights Out, the definitive collection of rarities and outtakes. Now the 22-song, single-disc Sliver: The Best of the Box offers fans audio highlights from With the Lights Out with the bonus inclusion of three unreleased tracks: "Spank Thru," "Sappy," and a rehearsal recording of "Come as You Are."
