Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their very first compilation album, 'Nothing Safe' compiles a career-spanning selection of hits, live tracks, and rare studio demos. Released on Columbia, the record was designed as a companion sampler for the massive 'Music Bank' box set, featuring the previously unreleased track 'Get Born Again'. It stands as a definitive, highly emotional, and bleak retrospective of their historic classic-era catalog, capturing the tragic genius of vocalist Layne Staley.
