"This is not a product of the grunge era. They are one of those rare and unique gems from the 90's. I'm biased as hell, It's my fav band of all time. But I listen to everything and know enough about music to pick out the s*** from the gold. This Album is particularly good for its live stuff and also the hard to get "3 is a magic number". It's one of my personal favorites. The pusher, is controversial, another remake, another song you gotta listen to. They only made three albums, but what the hell...Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to see a greatest hits. Still, like I said, great start for those of you out there who have only heard "no rain." P.S. They only made three albums cause Hoon died. The world is cruel."

Great Compilation

"Die-hard Blind Melon fans might argue that getting the first album would be better value for money. I have to disagree on account of the last three tracks. Three is a magic number is an insanely catchy educational track which i believe tops No Rain in terms of catchiness, You can't help but smile when Shannon Hoon shouts out "3x10 is" and is immediatly answered by a chorus of "30." and they work their way all the way down to "and 3x1 is (what is it?) 3!". The two live tracks prove that blind melon are an amazing live band. As for the actual compilation, it is a good account of blind melon's best tracks, although most will argue that their favourite tracks off the debut are not contained (I would've personally put "Seed to a tree" and "Sleepyhouse.") It does include their ever famous "No rain." and great songs like "2x4" and "Time". It should be excellent for initiates."
