Negative Positive
Title: Down Side Up
Review: As is the case with most every box set I have ever purchased, this B-sides collection is all over the place, much like the Cure's Join the Dots. It goes from jaw-dropping, astonishing brilliance to total "WTF?!" indulgence in the span of moments. And its sheer size makes it virtually impossible to sit down and listen to in one go. Having said all that, this is a career-spanning set of songs that absolutely must be heard, as the Banshees habitually hid some of their greatest material on the flip sides of their singles. Some of it insanely good, some of it not. But it simply can not be ignored.
Is the review positive or negative?
