Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released shortly after the band's initial breakup, this compilation provides a comprehensive overview of the Seattle group's massively successful singles. The collection seamlessly tracks their evolution from murky, Sabbatherian sludge into tightly constructed, highly melodic alternative metal. It stands as a flawless, incredibly heavy summary of their dominating commercial peak.
