Negative Positive
Title: Holds few gifts
Review: I suppose if one is nostalgic for the early alternative days this compilation could help refresh your memory, but in retrospect there is not too much on this disc that justifies examination now. I remember when this came out everyone was excited to hear a Nirvana B-side, only to be bitterly gypped with Nevermind's "Stay Away" carbon copy. It is nice to see a few tracks highlight bands in their prime like Weezer and Counting Crows, but most other big name tracks either simply get by or disappoint with blatant throwaways while the lesser known artists often attempt something memorable though usually come off as third-rate renditions of someone else or just generically "alternative".
Is the review positive or negative?
