Now that , , and have been given the deluxe two-disc reissue treatment -- which coincided with a movie, , and followed, throughout the previous 20 years, the and compilations, the box set, a couple live discs, a disc, tribute sneakers, a tribute Zune, and tribute bands (few of which performed actual covers) -- there might as well be an official point of introduction with a straightforward title. Just happening to coincide with the release of 's eponymous documentary, is a 14-track, 55-minute grab bag of scattered tracks from the band's discography. It is impossible to call these the best, or even the highlights, when the band recorded no obvious lowlights and (only in a relative sense) a handful of midlights. Not including alternate mixes or demos that have floated out in various forms, recorded short of 50 songs, none of which would be completely unjustifiable on a single-disc summary. Beyond the no-brainers the program doesn't lean in any one direction, pulling fairly evenly from the two proper albums while offering seven tracks that were compiled originally for . It is kind of strange, however, that the somewhat slight instrumental was chosen over and that there is nothing from (the band's first release, a four-track EP), especially when there were 25 minutes of available space on the disc. While this is one of many ways to become acquainted with a body of work that adds up to some of the most tense, precise, and powerful music made, the best solution is to get as much as possible at once and submit. ~ Andy Kellman
